Taylor Swift’s single “The Fate of Ophelia” has held at the top of the U.K. Official Singles Chart for a fifth week, underscoring the global pop star’s continued dominance in Britain. The track originally shot to No. 1 on 10 October and maintained three consecutive weeks at the summit before reclaiming the top spot for a fourth and now fifth non-consecutive week.

The song marks Swift’s longest-running U.K. No. 1 since “Anti-Hero” in 2022 and is featured on her twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. That album also opened at No. 1 in the U.K., delivering her 14th chart-topping LP and cementing her status as the international artist with the most No. 1 albums in British chart history.

In tandem with “The Fate of Ophelia”, tracks “Opalite” and “Elizabeth Taylor” from the same album occupied positions at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively, marking a rare top-three sweep by a single artist. Swift’s impressive run reflects not only strong first-week sales of 132,000 units for the single—her career best—but also sustained streaming and sales momentum.

While the competition from rising stars such as RAYE and Olivia Dean remains sharp, industry observers note that Swift’s chart placement signals high fan engagement and effective release strategy. With her U.K. No. 1 streak stretching into its fifth week and showing no signs of slowing, the pop icon continues to set new benchmarks in the British market.
