Taylor Swift holds Billboard 200 No. 1 for 15th week with Showgirl

Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl will spend a 15th nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated Oct. 24, 2026.

Billboard confirmed the result on Oct. 18, citing data from Luminate for the tracking week ending Oct. 15. The album earned 87,000 equivalent album units, the chart's combined measure of sales and streaming, down 7% on the week.

The mix shifted. Streaming fell while sales climbed. Streaming equivalent album units, the part that converts plays into album sales, totalled 47,000 units, down 28%, equal to 48.37 million on-demand official streams in the United States.

Album sales totalled 37,000, up 38%. Track equivalent album units, the part that converts individual song sales into album sales, totalled 3,000, up 95%.

The album returned to No. 1 two weeks before the Oct. 24 chart. That followed a Sept. 25 deluxe reissue with four previously unreleased songs, including Hot 100-topper 'Patient Zero'.

Behind Swift, the top five all moved up a place. Olivia Rodrigo's you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love rose 3-2 with 65,000 units. Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem climbed 5-3 with 55,000 units. Ella Langley's Dandelion ascended 6-4 with 53,000 units. Noah Kahan's The Great Divide stepped 7-5 with 45,000 units.

Drake's HABIBTI fell 2-6 with 43,000 units, down 39%. It had vaulted 116-2 the previous week after a reissue with four additional songs.

Further down, Olivia Dean's The Art of Loving rose to No. 7 with 35,000 units. Noah Kahan's Stick Season lifted 9-8 with 33,000 units.

Greta Van Fleet took the week's only new top 10 entry. Palace for the People debuted at No. 9 with 30,000 equivalent album units, giving the band its fourth Billboard 200 top 10.

Sales drove the debut. The set recorded 26,000 in album sales and 4,000 in streaming equivalent units, equal to 3.89 million on-demand official streams. First-week sales were offered across five vinyl variants, one of them signed, plus two CD variants, one of them signed, one cassette and a digital download.

Drake closed the top 10. His former No. 1 ICEMAN rose 11-10 with nearly 30,000 equivalent album units, down 2%.

What makes this run stand out is its length. A week earlier, the album's 14th week at No. 1 had taken Swift to 100 career weeks on top of the Billboard 200. The album is her 15th No. 1 and her 12th studio album, and it opened with 4 million units in its first week.

The full Oct. 24-dated chart was scheduled to be posted on Billboard's website on Oct. 20.
