SZA’s album S.O.S. is making history, and the comparisons to Michael Jackson’s iconic Thriller are growing stronger. The singer recently caught up with TMZ Hip Hop outside Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, just as S.O.S. officially tied Thriller for the longest-running Top 10 album by a Black artist on the Billboard 200.
While Thriller reached its legendary status without the benefit of streaming, S.O.S., which has been out for less than two years, has already achieved this monumental milestone. This achievement underscores the enduring power of classic albums in an ever-evolving music industry.
At the moment, SZA is at the height of her career. Her collaboration with Kendrick Lamar on “Luther” is currently the No. 1 song in the country, following their electrifying Super Bowl performance. Fans are buzzing, wondering if a music video will be released, but SZA is staying tight-lipped on the matter.
As she and Kendrick prepare for their upcoming tour, there’s speculation that the highly anticipated visual might make its debut at one of their shows. The excitement surrounding SZA’s career continues to build, as S.O.S. cements itself as one of the most impactful albums of the year.
