Swift's Showgirl Reigns: 11 Weeks at Chart's Peak!

Taylor Swift's album "The Life of a Showgirl" continues its dominant run, marking an 11th nonconsecutive week at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart as of January 3, 2026. The album earned 141,000 equivalent album units in the recent tracking week, boosted by exclusive new vinyl variants released in late November. This achievement ties "The Life of a Showgirl" with Swift's previous successes, "1989" and "Fearless," for chart longevity.

A significant trend on this week's Billboard 200 is the record-breaking presence of holiday albums, with seven festive titles landing in the top 10. This surge is partly attributed to the chart's tracking week coinciding with Christmas Day for the first time since 2014. Leading the holiday charge is Bing Crosby's "Ultimate Christmas," which climbed to a new peak at number two, accumulating 110,000 equivalent album units and setting a new benchmark for holiday album streaming.
