Taylor Swift has started 2026 by rewriting her own chart history. The pop icon’s latest single, ‘The Fate of Ophelia’, has now held the No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 for nine straight weeks, officially making it the longest-running chart-topper of her career. With this achievement, the track pulls ahead of her previous record-holder, ‘Anti-Hero’, and stands as the most sustained No. 1 among her 13 total leaders on the Hot 100. Swift’s consistent ability to dominate the singles chart remains unmatched in the current pop landscape.
As the lead single from her most recent album, The Life of a Showgirl, ‘The Fate of Ophelia’ has kept the project firmly in the spotlight. The song’s extended run at the top has directly contributed to the album reclaiming its own No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200, showing the clear connection between single performance and overall album strength in today’s streaming-driven market.
The surge comes alongside the recent arrival of Swift’s documentary ‘End of the Eras’, which has driven fresh attention across her back catalog. Combined with the ongoing chart success of both the single and album, the entire Showgirl era continues to prove its commercial power and staying force.
