SZA's sophomore album "S.O.S" has achieved a historic milestone by spending its first four weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, making it the first R&B album by a female artist to do so this century.

The album, which features hits such as "Good Days," "I Hate U," and "Kill Bill," has managed to maintain its position at the top of the chart thanks to strong streaming numbers, with 121,500 units being attributed to 162.42 million on-demand streams of the album's 23 songs.

SZA's success on the charts comes as she prepares to embark on her first arena tour, the "S.O.S Tour."

The album's reign at the top of the Billboard 200 was almost cut short by Taylor Swift's "Midnights" album, which finished just a few thousand copies behind "S.O.S."

However, SZA was able to hold onto the top spot, earning an additional 125,000 equivalent units in the latest tracking week.
