In what comes as little surprise, Taylor Swift continues to dominate Billboard charts to historic measure with content from her album ‘The Life of a Showgirl‘ album for a second week.
A week after occupying the top 12 spots with songs from ‘Showgirl,’ the project’s lead single – ‘The Fate of Ophelia‘ – holds tight to the Hot 100’s pole position for another frame.
Here are the numbers that powered the placement.
- Streaming = 49.1 million U.S.-based streams
- Radio airplay = 42.2 million audience impressions
- Sales = 11,000 digital download
The 13th no.1 hit of her career, ‘Ophelia’ – as reported last week – ties Taylor with King of Pop Michael Jackson on the all-time list of artists with the most #1 hits.

The new generation loves mediocrity…
Overrated….
Drama overweighted…
Overexposed…
It is too much..
The new album is pure garbage. Even trash smells bad…. The music is no taste
Opalite should be her next song, my favourite song, definitely another number 1 song
May join RiRi with next single
