For SZA fans, a five-year wait for a new album came to a close Friday (December 9) when the R&B diva finally dropped ‘SOS‘ – the follow-up to her 2017 debut album ‘Ctrl.’

Preceded by hit singles ‘Shirt,’ ‘I Hate U,’ and ‘Good Days,’ “good” comes a severe understatement when describing the critical and commercial acclaim the set’s already received.

And while ‘SOS’ has shown itself to be a monster on real-time sales tallies around the globe (as we reported here), it appears to be even more of one on streaming platforms.

As revealed by the December 9 Spotify chart (seen above), SZA occupied 15 spots by her lonesome.  According to Chart Data, the listings are reflective of the whopping 68 million streams ‘SOS’ accumulated on that platform alone – reportedly breaking the record for biggest single-day streams for an R&B album in the streamer’s history.

When all major streaming platforms are considered, Hits Daily Double said the set’s first-day streaming total approached 100 million in the U.S., with over 350 million streams projected by the end of its inaugural sales tracking week.

Combined with its previously reported digital sales performance, the streaming figures are predicted to give SZA just the umph needed to land at #1 on the Billboard 200 next week.
