The album SOS is still reigning on the top of the Billboard 200 for the fifth consecutive week since its release in December. According to Billboard, it has collected 125,000 equivalent album units in the United States for the week ending on January 12.
SZA is the first R&B Female artist to spend five consecutive weeks on top of the charts in the 21st century. It is the first album since Adele’s “30” to spend the first five weeks of release at the top of the charts. The album is projected to remain at #1 on the US albums chart for the sixth week with an expected 119k sales.
