As legend has it,Taylor Swifthas 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.
