Taylor Swift's 'The Fate of Ophelia' Sustains Historic Billboard Hot 100 Dominance Second Week

Taylor Swift continues to dominate the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the second week following the release of her album The Life of a Showgirl, with her song "The Fate of Ophelia" holding the number one spot. Although all 12 songs from the album initially occupied the top 12 positions, 10 of them have since shifted down slightly, with two other songs breaking into the top 12. Notably, the KPop group Demon Hunters' "Golden" and Alex Warren's "Ordinary" have moved up to positions three and four respectively, interrupting Swift's streak. The album also maintains a number one position on the Billboard 200 chart, marking a modern-era record with 4.002 million equivalent album units. This marks the fifth time in Hot 100 history that an artist claims at least 12 of the top 14 spots, with Swift achieving this feat multiple times, including with her earlier albums The Tortured Poets Department and Midnights. The Hot 100 rankings are based on a combination of streaming, radio airplay, and sales data, with rigorous data review processes to ensure accuracy.
