Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticThe release of Lizzo’s “Special” album finally gave her “About Damn Time” single the surge it needed to conquer the Billboard Hot 100, after the song had bided its time for weeks in the No. 2 spot on that chart, waiting to knock Harry Styles’ long-standing “As It Was” out of the top spot.The Lizzo album itself had to settle for a No. 2 entry on the Billboard 200, since Bad Bunny’s “Un Verano Sin Ti” album — now in its sixth non-consecutive week on top — is proving even harder to push out of the way than Styles’ single was.The second-place finish for “Special” did represent Lizzo’s high mark on the album chart to date.
