Taylor Swift continues her chart domination as “The Fate of Ophelia” remains at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a third consecutive week.

Its parent album, The Life of a Showgirl, also holds the top spot on the Billboard 200 for a third week, marking another historic milestone for Swift.

According to Billboard, Taylor becomes the first artist ever to debut both an album and a song at #1 and keep them there for three straight weeks. Following the album’s release, all 10 songs from The Life of a Showgirl entered the Hot 100 simultaneously — a feat only a few artists have achieved.

Three weeks later, Swift still maintains four tracks in the top 10: “Ophelia,” “Opalite,” “Elizabeth Taylor,” and “Father Figure.” Billboard notes this marks the seventh time in her career she’s had four or more songs in the top 10 at once — the most in chart history.

Elsewhere on the Hot 100, British artist Olivia Dean earns her first U.S. top 10 hit with “Man I Need.” Dean told Billboard that landing her first chart hit after years of releasing music feels “like a whole new world.”

Leon Thomas also celebrates a breakthrough as his song “Mutt” enters the top 10 after 38 weeks. Though it’s his first as a solo artist, Thomas previously co-wrote and produced hits for Drake and SZA.
