It’s really SZA’s universe on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart because the singer-songwriter captures her sixth No. 1 on the chart with “Saturn.” The new chief debuts atop the record dated March 9 and replaces her personal “Snooze” at the summit. With the trade, SZA extends her unyielding domination of the chart’s prime slot for the previous yr.
“Saturn,” launched on Top Dawg/RCA Records, lands at No. 1 on the multi-metric Hot R&B Songs chart, which mixes streaming, airplay and gross sales information for its rankings, mainly by means of 25 million official U.S. streams within the monitoring week of Feb. 23 – 29, in keeping with Luminate. From that sum, the tune blasts in at No. 1 on the R&B Streaming Songs, the place it turns into SZA’s tenth champ. “Saturn” additionally rings up a No. 2 entrance on R&B Digital Song Sales, with 2,000 copies offered and 960,000 in airplay viewers for the monitoring interval.
Beyond a brand new No. 1, the “Saturn” arrival happens simply as SZA completes a complete yr at No. 1 on Hot R&B Songs. Since the chart dated March 11, 2023, when The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s “Die for You” managed to dislodge SZA’s “Kill Bill” for one week, the famous person has held the No. 1 rank with both “Kill Bill,” which resumed its run for an additional 19 weeks (for 30 whole frames in cost), “Snooze,” on its personal 30-week nonconsecutive No. 1 streak, her featured flip on Drake’s “Slime You Out,” a two-week champ, and now, “Saturn.”
Notably, with “Saturn” eclipsing “Snooze,” the latter loses out on an opportunity this week for what would have been a record-breaking thirty first week at No. 1.
As “Saturn” joins the chart-topping membership, right here’s a glance at SZA’s No. 1s on Hot R&B Songs:
Song Title, Artist (if apart from SZA), Weeks at No. 1, Date Reached No. 1
“The Weeknd,” one, Jan. 3, 2018
“I Hate U,” one, Dec. 18, 2021
“Kill Bill,” 30, Dec. 24, 2022
“Snooze,” 30, July 29, 2023
“Slime You Out,” Drake that includes SZA, two, Sept. 29, 2023
“Saturn,” one (to this point), March 9, 2024
“Saturn” was formally launched to digital retailers and streaming providers on Feb. 22, weeks after it was first broadly heard throughout a Mastercard business throughout the 66th Grammy Awards telecast on Feb. 4. The tune is predicted to look on Lana, a attainable deluxe version of SZA’s 2022 album, SOS. The authentic SOS was a blockbuster, spending 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and being named the No. 1 Top R&B/Hip-Hop Album on the 2023 year-end recap.
