SZA’s ‘SOS’ Returns To No. 1 On Billboard 200 Following ‘LANA’ Deluxe Edition Release

Twenty-two months after its initial release, SZA’s Grammy-winning album, SOS, returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The jump back to the top of the charts was aided by the December 20 release of the album’s expanded reissue, SOS Deluxe: LANA, which features the inclusion of 15 additional songs. This marks the 11th nonconsecutive week at No. 1 for SOS, with the 22-week gap between chart-topping appearances the longest for any album since the Billboard 200 began publishing back in March of 1956. Elsewhere in the Billboard 200 Top 10, Michael Bublé’s Christmas ascends three places to No. 2, Bing Crosby’s Ultimate Christmas moves up three spots to No. 3, Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song jumps up seven slots to No. 4, Kendrick Lamar’s GNX falls three places to No. 5, Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas rises four spots to No. 6, Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department drops four spots to No. 7, the Wicked film soundtrack drops a spot to No. 8, the holiday compilation A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector moves up seven places to No. 9, while Frank Sinatra’s Ultimate Christmas climbs seven spots to No. 10.
