SZA just broke a 33-year Billboard record with her chart-topping, award-winning album SOS.

Billboard reports the singer's second studio project claimed the most weeks atop their Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart with a 21-week reign.

The milestone serves as a tie breaker: SZA previously shared the top spot with Pop Smoke's Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon as the chart's longest-leading number one since 1990 and of the 21st century so far.

As per the chart dated July 29, SOS stood strong against big contenders like Lil Durk's Almost HealedGunna's A Gift & a CurseYoung Thug's Business Is Business and Lil Uzi Vert's Pink Tape.
