Taylor Swift is back in pole position.
The superstar’s latest studio effort, ‘The Life of a Showgirl,’ has reclaimed the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 this week, marking its eighth nonconsecutive turn at the top.
Full story below…
After briefly slipping to #3, the project bounced back thanks to a post–post-Thanksgiving surge fueled by retail reductions and a fresh collection of signed CDs through her webstore.
Ms Swift certainly knows how to drive buzz within her fanbase.
The win adds yet another chart milestone to the 35-year-old’s blockbuster 2025 run, as the album continues to dominate both sales and streaming metrics.
Per Luminate, ‘Showgirl’ sold another 99,000 equivalent album units in the tracking week ending December 4.
That total includes 53,000 streaming units and 46,000 in pure sales following a 121% jump.
With holiday favorites from Mariah Carey, Michael Bublé, and Bing Crosby reentering the chat, it will be interesting to see whether Swift will continue to tower into the festive frame
FLOP
Assassination Taylor! You better have your team buy that top spot for you just like you are buying that f**ked boy of a man to be your husband. We love to see the privilege 👏🏾
The hype around this album is confusing. All the wh!te girls I’ve met here in NYC and also my wh!te coworkers from my job (both gay and str8) who are swifities hated this album and also hated her last one from 2024. I didnt understand why until i listened to a few tracks from the current album and it sounds inauthentic. I feel like she just needed to take a break and enjoy life. Shes earned her stripes already.
Breaking news: white teenagers buy bland white pop stars music in droves for weeks at a time. In other news, cheap mass produced Chinese products are selling like hot cakes too.
I hope this Wonder Bread B* drown in that photo. She is starting to look like a drag queen, which isn’t a bad thing. She needs to add some padding and give herself some hips and an ass.
