Taylor Swift's album, "The Life of a Showgirl," has achieved its third consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, specifically for the chart dated November 1, 2025. In the week ending October 23, 2025, the album garnered 194,000 equivalent album units in the United States, representing a 43% decrease from the previous week. This accomplishment makes "The Life of a Showgirl" only the second album in 2025 to spend its initial three weeks atop the chart, following Morgan Wallen’s "I’m the Problem," which impressively dominated for its first eight weeks out of a total of 12 weeks at No. 1.

The Billboard 200 chart meticulously ranks the most popular albums weekly in the U.S. by measuring multi-metric consumption, with data compiled by Luminate. This consumption is quantified in equivalent album units, which are derived from album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Specifically, one equivalent album unit is equal to one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported on-demand official audio and video streams, or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The full, new November 1, 2025-dated chart is made public on Billboard’s website on Tuesday, October 28.

Delving into the unit breakdown for "The Life of a Showgirl" in its latest chart-topping week, SEA units constituted 156,000 (a 34% decrease), equating to 200.68 million on-demand official streams, securing its No. 1 position on the Top Streaming Albums chart for a third week. Album sales contributed 38,000 units (a 63% decrease), also earning it the No. 1 spot on the Top Album Sales chart for the third consecutive week.
