3x GRAMMY® Award-winning, RIAA multi-platinum certified superstar Lizzo is celebrating her second Billboard Hot 100 #1 and fourth top 10 with the ascension of her worldwide smash “About Damn Time” to the top of the Hot 100 chart. With over 1 million units sold, “About Damn Time” is also still holding #1 at Top 40 radio and building #1 on Hot AC. On track to become Lizzo’s highest streaming song thus far, “About Damn Time” follows her first #1 “Truth Hurts” (which spent seven weeks at #1), and further top 10 hits “Good As Hell,” and “Rumors (Feat. Cardi B).”

Her new album SPECIAL also just debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 album chart, making it the highest Billboard 200 charting album released this year by any female artist. Along with its #2 debut overall, SPECIAL is also the #1 top-selling album this week, and #1 on the Pop Albums chart. The album, hailed by Rolling Stone as “the most unabashedly joyous, sonically diverse, and emotionally profound album put out by a major label since Beyonce’s Lemonade,” is available everywhere now via Nice Life Recording Company/Atlantic Records HERE.

SPECIAL was introduced with the help of Lizzo’s celebratory live performance for NBC’s 2022 “Citi Concert Series on TODAY,” (streaming HERE), a heartwarming comedy bit on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! (streaming HERE), and a hilarious guest spot on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. Lizzo’s recent TV appearances also include a double duty hosting and performance gig on NBC’s Saturday Night Live (streaming HERE), a live performance of “About Damn Time” kicking off the 2022 BET Awards (streaming HERE), and an unforgettable installment of Carpool Karaoke (streaming HERE) on CBS’s The Late Late Show with James Corden, the latter of which amassed 1M views in the first 24 hours following its premiere last month and soon rose to #4 on YouTube’s “Trending” chart.
