The lead single from her latest album ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’, it was released on the same day as the album and first got to Number One on October 16. It spent three weeks there before being replaced by ‘Golden’ from Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters, which Taylor’s single replaced again two weeks later.

Previously, ‘Anti-Hero’, from Taylor Swift’s album ‘Midnights’ had been her longest-running UK Number One, spending six consecutive weeks at the top spot. She had also become the first women since Miley Cyrus to top the albums and singles charts simultaneously.

Altogether, Taylor has topped the UK charts with five different tracks. Her first was ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ in 2017, spending two weeks at Number One, followed by ‘Anti-Hero’ in 2022, then ‘Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version)’ in 2023, and ‘Fortnight’ the following year, both which spent a week at Number One, and now ‘The Fate Of Ophelia’.

‘The Life Of A Showgirl’ has become Taylor Swift’s 14th Number One album in the UK, spending four non-consecutive weeks at the top. She has the most Number One albums for an international artist, joint-second place with The Rolling Stones. Only The Beatles and Robbie Williams have more, both with 15.

The Official Charts has listed Taylor Swift as one of the artists likely to get Christmas Number One this year, with three of her songs currently charting – ‘The Fate Of Ophelia’, ‘Opalite’, and ‘Elizabeth Taylor’.

Also expected to be in the running are Olivia Dean with ‘The Christmas Song’, Labrinth with ‘Where Love Lives’ (which is the soundtrack for this year’s John Lewis advert), Tom Fletcher with ‘One Of Us’ from Paddington: The Musical, and RAYE with ‘Where Is My Husband!’ which has spent 11 weeks in the charts so far.

Other festive classics such as ‘Last Christmas’ by Wham! and ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ could be Christmas Number One, with both singles currently charting at Number Three and Four respectively.
