Kapanlagi.com - The Queen of R&B in the United States, SZA, has broken Michael Jackson's record on the Billboard 200. SOS now occupies the top 10 of the Billboard 200 for 80 consecutive weeks, while THRILLER held a top 10 position for 79 weeks.

Not only successful with her album, SZA's collaboration with Kendrick Lamar on the song LUTHER also reached the number one spot for four weeks, breaking Kendrick Lamar's record. SZA received recognition for her success in the R&B genre by winning the R&B Artist of The Year award at the iHeartRadio Awards 2025 held on March 17.
