Taylor Swift has once again proven her chart dominance, extending her reign at the top of the music world this week. Her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, and its lead single, “The Fate of Ophelia,” both remain firmly planted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts, respectively, making it a historic dual victory.
This marks the Taylor Swift Billboard Seventh Week at the summit for both the album and the single concurrently, extending a record she set earlier this month. No other artist in chart history has debuted both a major album and its lead single at the top spot and maintained that position for the entire first seven weeks of release.
For the charting week ending November 20, The Life of a Showgirl earned 93,000 equivalent album units, while “The Fate of Ophelia” logged 23.4 million streams and 62.8 million radio airplay impressions. This performance cements the album as one of the defining releases of 2025, easily surpassing all new competitors, including major debuts this month.
The Taylor Swift Billboard Seventh Week sweep comes as Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” surges back into the Top 10, signaling the start of the holiday season. Yet, even seasonal classics cannot dethrone Swift, whose continued chart supremacy underscores her unparalleled and historic cultural influence across the global music market.
