Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl nets a 12th nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Jan. 11, 2026) with 81,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Jan. 1 (down 42%), according to Luminate.

The Life of a Showgirl marks Swift’s sole second-longest run at No. 1. It surpasses the 11-week reigns of 1989 (2014-15) and Fearless (2008-09). Only The Tortured Poets Department, with 17 weeks at No. 1 in 2024, has more weeks atop the list among Swift’s 15 No. 1 albums, the most leaders among soloists.

#1 (=): Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl 81k (5,604,000 units since release)

Looking at that list of most weeks at number one, there is absolutely no reason for her to be ahead of many of those names... in terms of musical quality :air:

The biggest question is how the **** is Morgan so high?! I can't think of one of his songs :ladyhaha:  and the actual chart.. how are so many relatively old albums so high up?

Morgan's albums have almost 40 songs. SZA's SOS has over 40 tracks.

Type of fan base. 
The country fan base is massive in the US and unlike some genre fanbases (like rock) they have actually embraced streaming. 
And country radio is very strong so far as radio performance goes. 

And those 2 Morgan Wallen albums are 36 & 37 tracks long respectively, so the streams add up.

This. Those other names didnt use the agressive chart tactics she does. 

 

Her on that list is therefore a technicality but I do not consider it a legitimate achievement.  So its a bit meaningless as far as im concerned
