Taylor Swift is unstoppable. Her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, has held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for four straight weeks — the first month-long reign of 2025! With 146,000 equivalent units (down 25% but still massive), it's Taylor's 90th week at No. 1 (beating Elvis's 67).

From 157M streams to 22K sales, here's the breakdown — and why this "two-character" masterpiece is her most personal yet. Plus, how it stacks up to The Tortured Poets Department (17 weeks at No. 1).

The Chart Takeover: Numbers Don't Lie

• Week 4 (Nov 8, 2025): 146K units

• • SEA: 121K (157.8M streams — No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums)

  • Sales: 22K (down 41%)

  • TEA: 3K (up 411%)

Why It Sticks:

“Taylor’s storytelling + streams = unbeatable.” — Billboard

Only Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem (8 weeks) matched this in 2025. Taylor’s now got 15

No. 1 albums — most for any solo artist.

The Album: "Two Characters" — Taylor's Boldest Yet

Life of a Showgirl is Taylor's introspective sequel to Folklore/Evermore — "two characters" in a gritty, two-person tale of love, loss, and reinvention.

• Vibe: Dark, narrative-driven — think Reputation meets Midnights

• Standouts:

• • "Opalite": 1st single, 100M+ streams

  • "Father Figure": Viral TikTok hit (90s nostalgia)

  • "Potential": Collab with Brandi Carlile (No. 7 debut this week)

Taylor's Take:

“It’s about the relationships that define us — not the spotlight.” (Billboard)
