Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’ Claims 12th Week At No. 1 On Billboard 200 Chart

Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl notches its 12th nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated Jan. 11, 2026), marking her second-longest run atop the chart behind 17-week rule of The Tortured Poets Department in 2024. Showgirl surpasses Swift’s previous 11-week reigns of 1989 and Fearless, and is the longest-running No. 1 album since Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem topped the chart for 12 nonconsecutive weeks in 2025 and SZA’s SOS scored its 13th week at No. 1 following the deluxe release in May of 2025. Showgirl earned 81,000 equivalent album units in the latest tracking week, with streaming accounting for 47,000 units and album sales for 33,000.

The Christmas albums that dominated the Billboard 200 Top 10 over the holiday season have plummeted down the chart, allowing Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving to reach a new peak as it vaults up ten places to No.4, surpassing its No. 5 high in November, while Peso Pluma and Tito Double P’s DINASTÍA debuts at No. 6, marking the third Top 10 for the former and the first for the latter. The rest of the Top 10 is rounded out by a series of former chart-toppers, as Wallen’s I’m the Problem climbs four spots to No. 2, the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack jumps seven slots to No. 3, Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend surges 14 places to No. 5, SZA’s SOS vaults up 17 spots to No. 7, Tate McRae’s So Close To What jumps 19 slots to No. 8, Wallen’s One Thing at a Time leaps up 27 places to No. 9, and Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet rockets 20 spots to reach No. 10.
