SZA's Label Doubted 'SOS' Success
SZA shared that her label expected her to lose the chart race to Taylor Swift’s ‘Midnights’ in 2022, but ‘SOS’ spent 10 weeks at No. 1 [https://kiss951.com/2026/03/10/szas-label-predicted-chart-loss-to-swift-but-sos-spent-10-weeks-at-no-1/]. What made SOS so successful?
SZA's "SOS" defied expectations, securing ten weeks at number one despite initial doubts from her label. The album's broad appeal, blending R&B, pop, and even hints of alternative rock, likely contributed to its widespread success. Collaborations with artists like Phoebe Bridgers and Travis Scott also expanded SZA's reach to different audiences.
