The new boss, which takes over for “Snooze,” comes as SZA beats a full year of overpowering the top slot, 52 straight weeks and counting.
The talented singer-songwriter SZA reaffirms her dominance on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart with her latest single, “Saturn,” claiming the top spot for the sixth time.
This achievement marks another milestone in her illustrious career and underscores her unwavering popularity among fans.
“Saturn” Soars to No. 1
Released on Top Dawg/RCA Records, “Saturn” makes a triumphant debut at the pinnacle of the Hot R&B Songs chart, dethroning SZA’s own previous hit, “Snooze.”
The track’s ascent to the top position is fueled by impressive streaming numbers, with over 25 million official U.S. streams during the tracking week of Feb. 23 – 29, according to Luminate.
Multi-Metric Success
“Saturn” not only secures the No. 1 spot on Hot R&B Songs but also dominates the R&B Streaming Songs chart, marking SZA’s 10th chart-topper in this category. Additionally, the song makes a strong showing on R&B Digital Song Sales, entering at No. 2 with 2,000 copies sold.
With 960,000 in airplay audience for the tracking period, “Saturn” exhibits broad appeal across multiple metrics.
A Year of Unrivaled Success
SZA’s latest achievement coincides with her remarkable milestone of spending an entire year at No. 1 on Hot R&B Songs.
Since March 11, 2023, when
The Weeknd and Ariana Grande briefly interrupted her reign with “Die for You,” SZA has consistently occupied the top spot with a series of chart-topping hits, including “Kill Bill,” “Snooze,” and her collaboration with Drake on “Slime You Out.”
Record-Breaking Potential
Notably, “Saturn” overtakes “Snooze” just as the latter misses out on what would have been a record-breaking 31st week at No. 1.
Despite falling short of this milestone, SZA’s continued chart dominance underscores her status as a powerhouse in the R&B genre.
Conclusion
With “Saturn” ascending to the top of the Hot R&B Songs chart, SZA once again proves her ability to captivate audiences and deliver chart-topping hits.
As she continues to push the boundaries of her artistry, fans eagerly anticipate what’s next from this trailblazing artist.
