Chart Royalty: SZA's 'Snooze' Reigns Supreme While D'Angelo's 'Untitled' Enjoys a Triumphant Comeback

The sound waves of R&B are currently dominated by a fascinating dynamic: the sustained success of a contemporary queen and the remarkable resurgence of a neo-soul icon. SZA's smash hit 'Snooze' continues its impressive reign, while D'Angelo's timeless classic 'Untitled (How Does It Feel)' is experiencing an unexpected and triumphant return to the top tiers of the R&B charts.

SZA, a consistent force in modern R&B, has once again proven her chart prowess with 'Snooze'.

The track ascended to the coveted No. 1 spot on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, marking her second time achieving this feat, following the success of 'Kill Bill'. Furthermore, 'Snooze' continues its dominance on the Adult R&B Airplay chart, where it has now held the top position for a formidable four consecutive weeks.

This achievement solidifies SZA's status, giving her a total of four No. 1 hits on the Adult R&B Airplay tally.

Meanwhile, music aficionados are celebrating the powerful comeback of D'Angelo's seminal track, 'Untitled (How Does It Feel)'. Released in 2000 from his critically acclaimed album 'Voodoo', the song is now enjoying an extraordinary resurgence, making its way back into the limelight with significant gains on multiple charts.

On the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, 'Untitled' has reached an impressive new peak of No. 11, a remarkable climb from its original peak of No. 25 back in its debut year.

Even more compelling, the track soared to a new high of No. 4 on the Adult R&B Airplay chart. This dramatic climb is largely fueled by a noticeable surge in radio airplay, particularly within the Adult R&B format.

Audience impressions for 'Untitled' saw a 12% increase on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart and a 13% boost on the Adult R&B Airplay chart, signaling a renewed appreciation for D'Angelo's unique artistry and profound musicality.

This current run marks D'Angelo's highest chart placement on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay in 23 years, a testament to the enduring quality and timeless appeal of his music.

While his 1995 hit 'Brown Sugar' reached No. 5 on the same chart, this latest achievement for 'Untitled' underscores how a true classic can resonate anew with audiences and broadcasters alike, proving that exceptional music truly stands the test of time.
