Taylor Swift’s ‘The Fate of Ophelia’ Tops Billboard Hot 100 for Second Week

A week after Taylor Swift monopolized the top 12 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 — all from her new album, The Life of a Showgirl — the superstar now scores eight of the top 10, while all 12 songs from the set rank in the chart’s top 14.

Swift’s Hot 100 haul is led by “The Fate of Ophelia,” at No. 1 for a second week.

The album adds a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, following its modern-era-record debut with 4.002 million equivalent album units.

This week marks the fifth in the Hot 100’s history in which an act claims at least 12 of the top 14 places — and the first via a set’s second week of release. The four prior such frames, with three belonging to Swift, reflected albums’ debut chart weeks: Before The Life of a Showgirl’s performance a week ago, she charted the top 14 thanks to her album The Tortured Poets Department in May 2024 and filled the top 10, and 12 of the top 14, from Midnights in November 2022, while Drake amassed 12 of the top 14 the week that his Certified Lover Boy debuted in September 2021.

Below are more highlights of Swift’s latest triumphant week on the Hot 100.
