According to Billboard on the 12th, Taylor Swift’s studio album *The Life of a Showgirl* topped the Billboard 200 for the week of October 17, recording 93,000 album units. This marks the album’s 14th No. 1 ranking overall.
With this achievement, Swift has spent a total of 100 weeks at the top with her 15 No. 1 albums released to date. She is the first solo artist to do so and ranks second all-time among all artists, trailing only The Beatles (132 weeks). She has also significantly widened the gap with Elvis Presley (67 weeks), who previously held the second-place spot among solo artists.
The success of the deluxe edition—which includes four previously unreleased tracks—contributed to this record. It is also significant that a re-release strategy—adding new content to an existing album to drive renewed sales—has led to such long-term success.
