Taylor Swift has once again rewritten music history, becoming the first artist ever to debut a film, album, and song simultaneously at number one in the United States.
Her newly released album, Life of a Showgirl, and its lead single, The Fate of Ophelia, debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts, respectively. Meanwhile, her accompanying promotional film, Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, also claimed the number one spot at the U.S. box office this week.
In another milestone, Swift became the first artist in history to occupy the entire top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 on three separate occasions.
With Life of a Showgirl, she further cemented her legacy as the first solo artist ever to earn 15 number-one albums on the Billboard 200. The album recorded a staggering 4.002 million units in first-week sales—setting a new global record for the biggest debut in history.
