As of October 19th, 2025, Taylor Swift's album The Life of a Showgirl continues its reign atop the Billboard 200 chart for a second consecutive week. The album earned 338,000 equivalent album units in the latest tracking week, down 92% from its record-breaking debut the previous week.

Showgirl is only the third album this year to spend its first two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, following releases from Morgan Wallen and Playboi Carti. Meanwhile, Olivia Dean's The Art of Loving continues its climb, rising from No. 7 to a new peak of No. 6 in its third week on the chart. It's one of just three albums to debut in the top 10 this year and then reach a new high in a subsequent week.
