The Grammy-winning artiste enjoys a second week at the summit of the weekly chart.
Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl remains at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a second consecutive week.
According to Luminate, the album moved 338,000 units in its sophomore frame — including 101,000 in pure sales — marking a 92% drop from its record-breaking debut week, when it opened with 4 million units to become the biggest album launch of all time, surpassing Swift’s own 2024 release The Tortured Poets Department.
Despite the decline, The Life of a Showgirl’s continued dominance was expected from an artiste of Swift’s stature, whose release effectively cleared the calendar on October 3, 2025, as other acts avoided competing with her global rollout.
With its latest figures, The Life of a Showgirl posts the fifth-largest second-week total for any album in 2025, trailing Swift’s own debut week numbers (4,002,000 units), Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem (493,000 units), The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow (490,500 units), and Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend (366,000 units).
The album also holds strong at No. 1 on both the Top Streaming Albums and Top Album Sales charts for a second week.
Meanwhile, on the Billboard Hot 100, Swift’s lead single “The Fate of Ophelia” remains at No. 1 for a second week, with “Opalite” following closely at No. 2. After an unprecedented sweep of twelve spots in the Top 14 last week, Swift now holds eight of the Top 10 positions this week, with all 12 tracks from The Life of a Showgirl still within the Top 14.
This marks only the fifth time in Billboard history that an artiste has occupied at least 12 of the top 14 spots — and the first instance to occur during an album’s second week of release, yet another record for Swift.
