SZA has the No.1 song in the country, Billboard reports. "Kill Bill" climbed three spots to reach the summit of the Billboard Hot 100 this week, marking the first time she has reached the top spot.

"Kill Bill" was first released alongside SZA's latest album SOS in December and has spent the past few months inside the top 10 of the Hot 100. However, a remix of the song featuring Doja Cat shared earlier this month provided enough streams to ensure the song crossed the line.

Figures from Luminate, who provide data and insights for Billboard, show that "Kill Bill," in all its versions drew 86.5 million radio airplay audience impressions and 28.3 million streams in the April 14-20 tracking week.

SZA scores her previous highest Hot 100 spot alongside Doja Cat when "Kiss Me More" reached No.3 in 2021. SOS premiered at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 following its release in December 2022.

Earlier this month SZA confirmed plans to extend her SOS arena tour into Europe, as well as announcing fresh North American dates.
