Taylor Swift's 'Fate of Ophelia' dethrones this song as her top single
As legend has it, Taylor Swift has a new top single.
"The Fate of Ophelia" has surpassed "Anti-Hero" to become the singer's longest-running No. 1 single, surging back to the summit of the Billboard Hot 100 for a ninth nonconsecutive week and eclipsing the eight-week reign of the "Midnights" hit.
According to Billboard magazine, "The Fate of Ophelia" logged 18.3 million official U.S. streams, up 9% week over week.
That rebound is more notable given the song's recent slide amid the holiday season. "The Life of a Showgirl" single briefly fell out of the Top 10 altogether, dipping to No. 28. The rapid climb back to No. 1 reflects renewed fan momentum, which also propelled "Opalite" from No. 54 to No. 8.
"Elizabeth Taylor" made the Hot 100, as well.
On the album side of the charts, "Showgirl" logged a 12th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. While it remains six weeks shy of surpassing Swift's personal benchmark set by "The Tortured Poets Department," her broader catalog shows no signs of fading.
