A month after release, Taylor Swift's 'Showgirl' creates another record
What's the story
Taylor Swift's latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, has made history by spending its first four weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 chart. This achievement makes it only the second album in 2025 to do so, following Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem. In its fourth week alone, Swift's album racked up an impressive 1,46,000 album units in the US!
Chart success
'Ophelia' also rules Hot 100 for 4 weeks
In addition to her album's success, Swift's single The Fate of Ophelia has also maintained its position at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart for four consecutive weeks. The song racked up an astonishing 29 million official streams, almost 55 million in radio airplay audience impressions, and sold 22,000 copies during the tracking week alone.
Unprecedented achievement
Swift makes history with simultaneous No. 1 album, song debuts
With both The Life of a Showgirl and The Fate of Ophelia dominating the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts respectively for their first four weeks, Swift has achieved an unprecedented feat. She is the first artist to debut at No. 1 on both charts simultaneously and hold them for an entire month! This milestone further solidifies her status as one of the most successful artists in music history.
