SZA had a very good 2024 and should have an even better 2025.
At this point, we have to start including SZA in conversations about the greatest R&B artists of our time. She’s not just dominating the charts—she’s selling out shows, starred in a No. 1 movie, and is one of the rare artists to collaborate with both Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Now, she can add another massive achievement to her résumé: the fourth-best-selling female artist of 2024.
According to Chart Data, SZA moved over 3.45 million total album units last year, placing her among the top-selling female artists of 2024. She trails behind: Sabrina Carpenter – 3.6 million, Billie Eilish – 4.4 million, and Taylor Swift – 18.4 million.
While pop heavyweights lead the list, SZA reigns supreme in R&B, solidifying her place as the genre’s top-selling female artist.

With chart-topping singles, critically acclaimed albums, and record-breaking tours, SZA’s dominance is undeniable. As she continues to push boundaries and elevate R&B on a global scale, it’s safe to say she’s not just one of the best right now—she’s building a legacy that will stand the test of time.
