Taylor Swift sweeps Apple Music’s top charts with new album ‘The Life of a Showgirl’

Less than 24 hours after releasing the two versions of her new album, all songs from The Life of a Showgirl are now topping Apple Music’s Top Songs chart in the US.

Zero surprise, still impressive

Following a relatively short period after its initial announcement, Taylor Swift released two versions of The Life of a Showgirl today: one marked as explicit, and a second, clean version.

Now, to nobody’s surprise, every song from both versions is currently topping Apple Music’s Top Songs chart, although in different orders than the album, which may be the first indication of what tracks could become fan favorites.

The album’s explicit version is now Apple Music’s top album, while the clean version is currently at number 7. Swift is also leading the Top Video chart, with a mix of new and old video clips, promo materials, and interviews.

As expected, the new albums also got the iOS 26 Apple Music treatment, with a shimmering animation applied to the lettering, her clothes, and the jewelry on the album cover.
