SZA is showing formidable chart dominance once again, leading both the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts with separate projects. Her critically acclaimed album SOS returns to No. 1 for a 13th nonconsecutive week, while her collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, Luther, continues its reign atop the Hot 100 for an impressive 10th consecutive week.
According to Luminate, SOS moved 52,000 album-equivalent units in the U.S. during the week ending April 24. Meanwhile, Luther — part of Lamar’s GNX album — racked up 68 million in radio airplay impressions and 22 million official streams, ensuring its continued dominance on the songs chart. GNX holds steady at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with just under 51,000 units.
SOS, originally released in December 2022, previously topped the Billboard 200 for 10 straight weeks in late 2022 and early 2023. Its chart resurgence came after a deluxe reissue with bonus tracks.
On the Billboard 200, there are no new entries in the top 10, but notable movement comes from Doechii, whose Alligator Bites Never Heal breaks into the top tier for the first time following its vinyl and CD release. The full top 10 includes:
- SZA – SOS

- PartyNextDoor & Drake – $ome $exy $ongs 4 U

Over on the Billboard Hot 100, Morgan Wallen and Post Malone debut at No. 8 with “I Ain’t Coming Back,” marking their 15th and 14th top 10 hits, respectively. The track is the sixth top 10 single from Wallen’s forthcoming album I’m the Problem, set to drop May 16.
Also climbing the Hot 100 is Atlantic Records’ Alex Warren, whose breakout single “Ordinary” rises to No. 3, boosted by a high-profile duet with Ed Sheeran at Coachella and a Stagecoach appearance alongside Jelly Roll.
