Taylor Swift's 'The Life of a Showgirl' has achieved an impressive feat, spending its first month at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. This marks Taylor Swift's 90th week at number one on the chart, cementing her record as the artist with the most weeks at the top among soloists.
According to Luminate, the album earned 146,000 equivalent album units in the United States during its latest tracking week, marking a fourth consecutive week at number one. This achievement is all the more impressive considering the album's sales have declined by 25% compared to the previous week.
Despite this decline, Taylor Swift remains a dominant force on the Billboard 200 chart. Her record-breaking achievement has only been matched by The Beatles, who hold the record for the most weeks at number one (132) and the most number one albums (19).
New releases from Daniel Caesar, Brandi Carlile, and Demi Lovato are also making waves on the chart, with Caesar's "Son of Spergy" debuting at number four. The album earned 43,000 equivalent album units in its first week, marking Caesar's highest week by units ever.
Brandi Carlile's "Returning to Myself" is also a top performer, debuting at number seven and earning 35,000 equivalent album units. This marks the singer-songwriter's fifth top-10 album on the Billboard 200 chart.
The latest Billboard 200 chart will be posted in full on the Billboard website on November 4. The chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the US based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, which include album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).

I'm low-key impressed that Taylor Swift is still killin' it after all these years! Her 90th week at number one on the Billboard 200 chart is insane 
. I mean, she's basically a legend at this point 
. And to think her album sales have declined by 25% compared to the previous week? That's still crazy good sales if you ask me 
.
. It's awesome to see them competing with the big leagues like Taylor Swift 
.
. It's a more complete picture of what's really happening in the music industry, you know? 
. Can't wait for the next chart update on November 4, gonna be a wild ride! 
. I mean, 90 weeks at number one? That's like, a lifetime of music, you know? It makes me think about how we measure success in the arts. Is it really just about numbers and sales, or is there something more to it? Like, what's Taylor Swift creating that resonates with so many people? Is it her songwriting skills, her persona, or something deeper?
, but I feel like this achievement says something about our society's values. We're always chasing more, trying to break records and push boundaries. But what's the real cost of all that ambition?
I mean, 90 weeks at number one? That's ridiculous. And the fact that it's only been matched by The Beatles, who are legends, really puts things into perspective. But what's even more interesting to me is how this album has declined in sales by 25% from the previous week yet still manages to stay on top. I think that's a testament to Taylor Swift's super dedicated fanbase 
They just can't get enough of her music, and that's something many artists wish for. The new releases from Daniel Caesar, Brandi Carlile, and Demi Lovato are also exciting to see. It'll be interesting to see how their albums hold up on the chart in the coming weeks.

But for real though, her album "The Life of a Showgirl" has been on fire for months now and it's crazy to think about how many people have listened to it. And can we talk about how underrated Daniel Caesar is? His new album debuted at number four, that's straight fire 
Taylor Swift is literally a machine 
! I mean, 90 weeks at number one? That's crazy talk! The fact that her album "The Life of a Showgirl" has been on top for FOUR WEEKS STRAIGHT despite sales declining by 25% is still mind-blowing. 
Her music just speaks to people on a deeper level, you know? And I love that new artists like Daniel Caesar and Brandi Carlile are making waves too
