SZA Ties Janet Jackson with Latest Billboard Milestone

Fans had to wait five years for a follow-up to SZA’s smash debut album CTRL, but according to her numbers on the Billboard 200, that wait was totally worth it.

The TDE darling’s sophomore album SOS has dominated the R&B front for the four weeks it’s been out. It’s been the No. 1 album each week, becoming the first female artist this century to have an R&B album in that position for four consecutive weeks, the first since Janet Jackson’s Janet album in 1993.

SZA still has a chance to have the longest No. 1 streak by a woman for any type of album, which is currently owned by Adele with her 2021 project 30, which spent seven weeks in that position.

SZA undoubtedly noticed the accolade and took to her Instagram to show her appreciation.

She wrote, “I don’t have shit to say but thank you to God my ancestors my family my team and ALL OF YOU THAT RIDE FOR ME ! ESPECIALLY CAMP!! Y’all my family too [white heart emoji] we have so much more to come.”

With over 750,000 album sales in the first month, SOS is on its way to being classic. It won’t be long until it’s officially certified platinum, which would be her second project to do so in as many tries.

SZA’s SOS Tour kicks off in Columbus, Ohio on February 21. The 17-city tour will wrap in Inglewood on March 23 at The Kia Forum.

The Chargers have a new offensive coordinator.

The Bolts announced on Monday they have agreed to terms with Kellen Moore for the role.

Moore spent the past four seasons as the Offensive Coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys. He has five total seasons of NFL coaching experience, all with the Cowboys.

When Moore became available, the Chargers moved quickly and interviewed Moore on Sunday evening, agreeing to terms shortly thereafter to become to the team’s offensive coordinator.

The 34-year-old Moore brings plenty of leadership, experience and success to the Bolts.

In Moore’s four seasons in Dallas, the Cowboys twice had the top-ranked offense in yards per game (2019 and 2021) and led the league in points scored in 2021 with 31.2 per game.

Moore will have plenty of playmakers at his disposal, beginning with quarterback Justin Herbert. Austin Ekeler and Joshua Kelley are set to return in the backfield while Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer and Gerald Everett are all under contract for the upcoming season.

Up front, the Bolts feature two of the best players at their respective positions — center Corey Linsley and left tackle Rashawn Slater — while rookies Zion Johnson and Jamaree Salyer both showed promise in 2022.

Moore has spent the past decade in the league as a player and a coach.

The former NFL quarterback spent the 2012-2014 seasons with the Lions before he was with the Cowboys from 2015-17.

He then joined Dallas’ staff in 2018 as a quarterbacks coach before quickly being elevated to the offensive coordinator role.

Moore was also a standout collegiate quarterback when he starred at Boise State. A four-time, First-team AllAmerican and the first Heisman Trophy Finalist in school history, Moore went 50-3 with the Broncos from 2008-11.

Moore was the winningest quarterback in college football history when he went to the NFL.nto the postseason, resulting in Garrett’s departure.
