Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl earns a 15th week at No. 1, powered by streaming, physical sales and its deluxe edition.

Taylor Swift has extended the chart life of The Life of a Showgirl, which holds the top spot on the Billboard 200 for a 15th nonconsecutive week. The album earned 87,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the tracking week ending October 15, according to Luminate figures reported with the chart dated October 24.

Streaming and physical sales split the week

Streaming accounted for 47,000 of the total units, representing 48.37 million official on-demand streams of the album’s songs. Album sales contributed another 37,000 units, while track-equivalent activity supplied 3,000. The sales figure rose after some physical editions were restocked in Swift’s official store, helping the project return to the top of the album-sales ranking for a ninth week.

The latest performance shows how the release is drawing from more than one audience at once. Streaming remains the biggest piece of the weekly total, but renewed physical availability gave the album a second source of momentum. That balance has helped the record remain competitive well beyond its original release window.

The deluxe edition gave the album another lift

The Life of a Showgirl moved back to No. 1 after a late-September deluxe reissue added four previously unreleased songs. Among them was “Patient Zero,” which also reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album originally opened with 2.7 million units in October 2025, while the expanded edition generated a fresh surge nearly a year later.

Elsewhere in the latest top five, Olivia Rodrigo rises to No. 2 with you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, followed by Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem, Ella Langley’s Dandelion and Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide. Greta Van Fleet also enters the top 10 at No. 9 with Palace for the People.

Swift’s 15th week at the summit adds another endurance marker to an album that has repeatedly found new commercial fuel. This time, the combination of sustained listening, a physical restock and new material was enough to keep it ahead of a crowded field.
