The song is from Swift’s album The Life of a Showgirl, which has posted 12 weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart. Notably, the set becomes just the fifth ever to lead the Billboard 200 for 10 or more weeks and spin off a single that has likewise topped the Hot 100 for at least that long.

Double Double-Digit Domination
“The Fate of Ophelia” claims its 10th week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 after parent album The Life of a Showgirl, on Republic, has tallied 12 weeks atop the Billboard 200.

Here’s a rundown of the elite albums to achieve the feat — with Santana’s Supernatural the only title on the list to yield two 10-week-plus No. 1s.
- Taylor Swift, The Life of a Showgirl, 12 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 / “The Fate of Ophelia,” 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 (2025-26)
- Morgan Wallen, One Thing at a Time, 19 weeks / “Last Night,” 16 weeks (2023-24)

‘Beginning’ of Djo in Top 10
Djo scores his first Hot 100 top 10, as “End of Beginning” soars 16-6, topping its prior No. 11 peak in March 2024. It bounded by 92% to 19.1 million streams, 52% to 4.4 million in radio reach and 175% to 6,000 sold in the tracking week.
The solo self-written, and co-produced, single by the musical nom de plume of Joe Keery, of Netflix’s Stranger Things, reentered the Hot 100 a week earlier following the Dec. 31 premiere of the series’ finale (although the song is not heard in the episode).
“End of Beginning” concurrently crowns Streaming Songs and the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs charts for the first time. It’s also the first leader on the surveys, and highest-charting title to date on the Hot 100 (and second top 10), for the AWAL group.
Meanwhile, the song is the second to hit the Hot 100’s top 10 thanks to a tie-in to Stranger Things, which is set in the ‘80s: In 2022, Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” reached the region and rose to No. 3; it originally hit No. 30 in 1985. The alt classic scored a synch in the series’ fourth season.
