SZA continues to redefine what musical dominance looks like.

SZA continues to redefine what musical dominance looks like. Her sophomore album SOS has officially made history, becoming the first album by a female artist to spend 100 weeks in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. It’s a milestone that not only highlights the staying power of the project but also reinforces SZA’s place as one of the most impactful voices of this generation.

This record-breaking achievement comes during a year of career highs for SZA. Earlier in 2025, she performed alongside Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl, captivating one of the biggest stages in the world. Beyond music, she co-starred with Keke Palmer in the film One Of Them Days, which performed exceptionally well at the box office. Adding to her global influence, SZA became an ambassador for Vans, further solidifying her cultural presence outside of music.

The success of SOS also owes much to its timeless singles. Tracks like “Kill Bill,” “Saturn,” and “30 for 30” have not only topped charts but have also become cultural anthems, played everywhere from TikTok trends to sold-out arenas. The deluxe edition LANA only expanded its reach, proving that fans were hungry for more of SZA’s vulnerable yet powerful storytelling.

With SOS, SZA has shown that longevity and artistry can still walk hand in hand in today’s fast-moving music industry. Her run over the past two years has been nothing short of legendary, setting a new standard for what R&B dominance looks like. The question now isn’t whether SOS will be remembered as a classic—it’s how long its reign will last.
