Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” rules the Billboard Hot 100 for an eighth week, tying “Anti-Hero” as her longest-leading hit.

“The Fate of Ophelia” has been No. 1 in each of its weeks on the Hot 100 so far, dating to its mid-October debut; “Anti-Hero” began its reign upon its arrival in November 2022.

Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” leads four festive holiday songs rising in the region, up from No. 8 to No. 5. It’s joined by Wham!’s “Last Christmas” (11-6), Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” (13-7) and Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” (14-8).

Plus, Leon Thomas’ “Mutt,” at No. 9 on the Hot 100, reaches No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart.
