SZA has been enjoying the success of her banger album, "SOS," for ten weeks already.
Since it was released last December 2022, "SOS" has maintained a solid stay at the summit. It debuted atop the Billboard 200 albums chart, marking SZA's highest placement on the genre-blending chart.
"SOS" recently had her ninth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on her ten-week stay. She is expected to rule the charts until a huge album comes along again.
Perhaps the most popular song to come from the album was its lead single, "Kill Bill," a hit revenge anthem that has put the R&B songstress in the crossfire between Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, and even her own fans.
"Kill Bill" and Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero" raced neck-to-neck in the battle for Billboard Hot 100 charts domination in the past month. Swifties and SZA's army has sparked Twitter debate on who emerges as the winner among the two.
Ultimately, "Kill Bill" only peaked at No. 2, failing to beat out "Anti-Hero." But just when the track is expected to hit No. 1, Cyrus's "Flowers," took over the summit.
In the recent Billboard interview with SZA, she elaborated on her feelings when asked what it felt like as an R&B singer to be ruling the headlines and charts alongside renowned pop stars like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus.
"To even be in the conversation with Taylor [Swift] and Miley [Cyrus], even the fact that our fans are fighting, is ridiculous because it's like, "How?!" I just really appreciate the opportunity to be in that conversation at all. It's something I never dreamed of," she shared.
Swift and SZA were spotted hugging each other at the 2023 Grammys, where Taylor took home the Grammy Award for Best Music Video for "All Too Well (10-Minute Version) (Taylor's Version)".
During the crossfire between their fans, both artists gave flowers to each other as they attempted to keep their fans from fighting.
Elsewhere in the same Billboard interview, SZA credited Swift as one of the women in the music industry who she looks up to, especially with her triumphant battle for her master recordings.
"Even Taylor letting that whole situation go with her masters and then selling all of those f-king records. That's the biggest "f-k you" to the establishment I've ever seen in my life, and I deeply applaud that sh-t," she continued.
Swift is in the process of releasing her next album, re-recording - "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" - the third one, following the release of "Red (Taylor's Version)" and "Fearless (Taylor's Version)."
