The sky’s the limit for Taylor Swift’s “Opalite,” which bounds seven spots to become her 14th No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Swift ties Rihanna for the third-most Hot 100 No. 1s, after only The Beatles (20) and Mariah Carey (19), dating to the chart’s start. “Opalite” is Swift’s ninth No. 1 since 2020, extending her mark for the most this decade.
Meanwhile, “Opalite” is the second Hot 100 leader from Swift’s 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl, after “The Fate of Ophelia” ruled for a personal-best 10 weeks beginning in October. The set, on Republic Records, becomes her second to generate multiple leaders, after 1989 (“Shake It Off,” “Blank Space” and “Bad Blood,” featuring Kendrick Lamar) in 2014-15.
“Opalite” tops the Hot 100 (after initially peaking at No. 2 upon its October debut) sparked by a surge of physical sales that shipped to consumers and new remixes released during the tracking week. Earlier in February, its official video premiered.
Most Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s:
20, The Beatles
19, Mariah Carey
14, Rihanna
14, Taylor Swift
13, Drake
13, Michael Jackson
12, Madonna
12, The Supremes
11, Whitney Houston
10, Janet Jackson
10, Bruno Mars
