SZA has been dominating the charts lately with her new single, “Good Days.” This record was in high demand prior to its release and delivered it to fans on Christmas Day, which was a very nice gift for her fans. This currently stands at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

SZA originally turned into a star back in the summer of 2017 when she released her debut studio album, “Ctrl.” This project contained the breakout record, “The Weekend.” This wasn’t even a lead single and soon became a fan-favorite. It peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and is at gold status in the US.

The Weekend continues to be SZA classic as it has now reached another impressive milestone. According to Chart Data, it has accumulated 1 billion on-demand streams. The official music video on YouTube has since accumulated over 29 million views and the audio version is at over 144 million views.

The “Ctrl” album has since been certified 2x platinum by the RIAA in the US. This was also the last album released by SZA as fans have anxiously been waiting for the sophomore project. It’s still unclear when that will be out as well as the title of it but hopefully, this will finally happen sometime in 2021.
