Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl rules the Billboard 200 chart (dated Nov. 29) for a seventh week in a row. The set earned 93,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Nov. 20 (down 15%), according to Luminate.
The Life of a Showgirl is only the second album in 2025 to spend its first seven weeks at No. 1, following Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem (which spent its first eight weeks atop the list, of its total 12 at No. 1). Swift’s last album, The Tortured Poets Department, spent its first 12 weeks at No. 1 in 2024, of its total 17 weeks atop the list. The Life of a Showgirl and The Tortured Poets Department are the only two of Swift’s No. 1 albums (of her 15 total leaders) to spend their first seven weeks or more at No. 1.
Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Summer Walker’s Finally Over It debuts at No. 2, NF’s FEAR arrives at No. 4 and 5 Seconds of Summer’s EVERYONE’S A STAR! starts at No. 6.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multimetric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new, Nov. 29, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Nov. 25. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.
Of The Life of a Showgirl’s 93,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 75,000 (down 15%, equaling 98.49 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks — it’s No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums for a seventh week), album sales comprise 17,000 (down 8%; it rises one spot to No. 3 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 54%).
Summer Walker earns her fourth top 10-charted album as Finally Over It debuts at No. 2 with 77,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 69,000 (equaling 91.88 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks; it debuts at No. 3 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 8,000 (it debuts at No. 12 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Walker notches the largest debut for an R&B album by a woman in 2025, by equivalent album units earned. (R&B albums are defined as those that are eligible for, or have charted on, Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart.)
Finally Over It was initially released on Nov. 14 as a standard 14-song widely available digital download album, an 18-song download and streaming edition (which added four tracks) and an 18-song physical edition on CD and vinyl (which added four other tracks). Later in the album’s first week, two deluxe editions arrived. On Nov. 18, there was an Apple-exclusive version with five bonus audio tracks. A day later, a widely available download/streaming deluxe version with three other bonus audio cuts arrived.
Finally Over It was also issued on four vinyl variants (including one signed), a widely available CD and a signed CD. She also sold four deluxe boxed sets containing a branded clothing item and a copy of the CD, exclusive to her webstore.
The new album was preceded by a pair of charting hits on the Hot R&B Songs chart: “Heart of a Woman” (which peaked at No. 3 in December 2024) and “Spend It” (No. 12 in May).
Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem falls 2-3 on the Billboard 200 with nearly 76,000 equivalent album units earned.
NF debuts at No. 4 with FEAR, bowing with almost 76,000 equivalent album units. It’s the fifth top 10-charted album for the artist, all earned consecutively. Of the set’s first-week units, album sales comprise 48,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 27,000 (equaling 36.76 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks; it debuts at No. 10 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise less than 1,000 units.
FEAR was released as a widely available physical album with five songs, and a digital download and streaming album that added a track (“Who I Was,” with mgk). FEAR was issued on two CD variants (including one signed) and two vinyl variants. On Nov. 20, a new download version arrived that added a lyric booklet.
The chart-topping KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack drops 3-5 on the Billboard 200 with 68,000 equivalent album units (down 9%).
5 Seconds of Summer scores its seventh top 10-charted effort on the Billboard 200 as EVERYONE’S A STAR! enters at No. 6 with 51,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 41,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 9,000 (equaling 11.33 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise 1,000.
The album was issued as a 12-song standard set (at streamers and digital download services and on physical editions), seven CD variants (including four band member-specific editions with alternative cover art and a unique bonus track each, along with a signed CD), seven vinyl variants (including a signed edition) and a deluxe boxed set containing a branded T-shirt and a copy of the CD. Later in the set’s first week, a deluxe digital download version of the album was sold exclusively via the quartet’s webstore, which added the four songs that were initially only available on the member-specific CD variants, along with a fifth bonus cut exclusive to the download album.
Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving gets pushed down two spots to No. 7 despite its 20% gain following her turn as the musical guest on NBC’s Saturday Night Live on Nov. 15. The set earned 50,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Nov. 20.
Three former No. 1s round out the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200: Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend dips 6-8 (35,000 equivalent album units, down 4%), SZA’s SOS slips 7-9 (33,000, up 4%) and Wallen’s One Thing at a Time falls 9-10 (29,000, down 2%).

Mumford & Sons and Hozier’s “Rubber Band Man” completes a speedy four-week trip to No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Airplay chart, rocketing six spots to the top of the Nov. 29-dated list.
The collaboration completes the fastest rise to No. 1 since The Black Keys’ “Beautiful People (Stay High)” took four frames to reign in February 2024.
Hozier earns his quickest coronation, exceeding the five weeks it took for his “Too Sweet” last year and the Mavis Staples-featuring “Nina Cried Power” in 2018. As for Mumford & Sons’ best, “I Will Wait” and “Believe” each needed only three weeks to lead in 2012 and 2015, respectively.
Hozier now boasts eight No. 1s. Mumford & Sons nab their sixth.
Most No. 1s, Adult Alternative Airplay:14, U213, Coldplay11, Dave Matthews (solo and with Dave Matthews Band)11, Jack Johnson9, The Black Keys8, Death Cab for Cutie8, Hozier8, John Mayer8, The Lumineers
“Rubber Band Man” is Hozier’s sixth No. 1 in a row, tying him with U2 for the longest streak in the chart’s nearly 30-year history. His run began in 2023 with “Eat Your Young.” U2 linked its six straight leaders in 2001-05.
Mumford & Sons last topped Adult Alternative Airplay with their Pharrell Williams collaboration “Good People” in April 2024. (In between, they hit Nos. 2 and 3 with “Rushmere” and “Caroline,” respectively.)
Concurrently, “Rubber Band Man” leaps 16-10 on Alternative Airplay, becoming Mumford & Sons’ 12th top 10 and Hozier’s third. On the all-rock-format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, the song holds at its No. 7 best with 3.6 million audience impressions in the week ending Nov. 20, a gain of 7%, according to Luminate.
The track placed at No. 28 on the most recently published, multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs tally (dated Nov. 22, reflecting data Nov. 7-13). In addition to its radio airplay, it drew 1.6 million official U.S. streams and sold 1,000 downloads in that span.
“Rubber Band Man” is the lead single from Prizefighter, Mumford & Sons’ sixth studio album, due Feb. 13, 2026. Their LP Rushmere debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart this April and has earned 98,000 equivalent album units to date.

With their latest chart crown, confirmed last Friday, Nov. 21, the Sydney four-piece becomes the first act in the history of the ARIA Charts to hit No. 1 with their first six studio albums.
That record dates back to 5 Seconds of Summer (in 2014), and includes Sounds Good Feels Good (2015), Youngblood (2018), Calm (2020) and 5SOS5 (2022). For the record, 5SOS’s live album, LiveSOS, cracked the top 10, peaking at No. 7 in 2014.
It’s the sixth homegrown title to lead the chart in 2025, including 5OS’s Calum Hood, whose solo effort Order Chaos Order led for one cycle in June.
5SOS returned to Australia last month for a brief promo trip, including a fan-led press conference in Melbourne and their induction to the Australian Walk of Fame in Sydney.
It’s an all-Australian 1-2 on the albums survey, as the 40th anniversary edition of Jimmy Barnes’ For The Working Class Man (Mushroom Music) digs in at No. 2. The Scotland-born Australian rock legend boasts more No. 1 albums in Australia than any other artist. A two-time ARIA Hall of Fame inductee, Barnes has 16 chart leaders as a solo act, and another six with Cold Chisel.
Thanks to 5SOS and Barnesy, as he’s affectionately known in these parts, Taylor Swift’s Life of a Showgirl (Republic/Universal) is finally bumped from the throne, down 1-3, ending six consecutive weeks at the top.
Soulful Sydney newcomer Don West opens his account at No. 25 with his debut album Give Me All Your Love, while Byron Bay punk rock quartet Mini Skirt starts at No. 36 with their sophomore effort, All That We Know (Orchard). It’s their first appearance on the chart.
The 2025 ARIA Awards were presented on Wednesday night in Sydney, but the impact is still being felt on the national charts.
Following her performance of “Man I Need” (Universal), rising English singer Olivia Dean scores her first No. 1 on the ARIA Singles Chart, as the song lifts 2-1. Dean followed up her ARIAs performance with an outdoor set at Fleet Steps, and she’ll be back next year for a tour proper.
After winning two ARIAs, Kevin Parker’s Tame Impala bites into the ARIA top 30 with “Dracula” (Columbia/Sony). It’s up 34-28, a new peak position, and is the only homegrown cut in the top 50.
You Am I was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, and had the final word on the evening with a two-song performance of “Heavy Heart” and “Berlin Chair,” both of which appear on The Dollop & The Wallop: The Best Of (Sony). The career retrospective is new at No. 15 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
Finally, RÜFÜS DU SOL collected four nominations at the ARIAs and are currently on the road, in support of their fifth studio album, Inhale/Exhale (Rose Avenue Records/Warner). The tour is breathing new life into the album, lifting 47-39.

Also on the chart, new projects from Brad Paisley, Trisha Yearwood and Herb Alpert all debut.
The Top Holiday Albums chart ranks the 50 most popular seasonal albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each units equals one album sales, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The Top Holiday Albums chart will continue to be published on a weekly basis through early January of 2026, when it will jingle away until the next holiday season. (The chart generally returns to Billboard’s weekly chart menu every October.)
Paisley’s Snow Globe Town debuts on the list at No. 15, marking his second charting project on the tally. He previously visited the chart with the 2006 release Brad Paisley Christmas, which peaked at No. 2 in January 2007. Snow Globe Town includes eight newly-penned songs and a selection of classic holiday favorites like “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire)” and “Jingle Bell Rock.”
Snow Globe Town also enters at No. 15 on Top Album Sales, No. 14 on Top Current Album Sales and No. 49 on Top Country Albums.
Yearwood’s new Christmastime bows at No. 36 on Top Holiday Albums, and the project includes new takes on classics like “My Favorite Things,” “Pure Imagination” and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.” The album also boasts a new original track, “Merry Christmas, Valentine,” co-written and performed by Yearwood and Garth Brooks.
Christmastime also starts at No. 50 on the Top Current Albums chart.
Rounding out the debuts on Top Holiday Albums is Alpert’s Christmas Time Is Here, entering at No. 44. The project, which marks Alpert’s third holiday set, also bows at No. 4 on Contemporary Jazz Albums and No. 18 on the overall Jazz Albums chart. Christmas Time Is Here includes the legendary trumpeter, composer and record label executive’s takes on “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” “Santa Baby” and “Winter Wonderland.”
Alpert’s first seasonal project, 1968’s Christmas Album, reached No. 1 on Billboard’s then-titled Christmas LP’s chart, while his second holiday set, 2017’s The Christmas Wish, reached No. 5 on Top Holiday Albums in 2017.

Plus, Hayley Williams, ROSALÍA, sombr and Wings all arrive in the top 10 with their latest releases.
Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album (TEA) units and streaming equivalent album (SEA) units.
Hayley Williams’ Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party vaults 18-2 on Top Album Sales following its wide release on physical formats during the tracking week. It sold a little over 22,000 copies — the best sales week ever for a solo project from Williams. ROSALÍA also claims her best sales week, with the No. 3 debut of LUX, selling 19,000 copies.
Taylor Swift’s chart-topping The Life of a Showgirl is a non-mover at No. 4 with nearly 19,000 (up 7%) while Stray Kids’ former leader KARMA climbs 7-5 with 13,000 (up 39%). The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack slips 5-6 with nearly 13,000 (down 6%).
The physical release of sombr’s I Barely Know Her propels the album to a No. 7 debut with 11,000 sold. The album was initially released on Aug. 22 as a digital download, and via streaming services.
The new Wings anthology compilation, WINGS, flies in at No. 8 with a little more than 10,000 sold. Tyler, The Creator’s former No. 1 CHROMAKOPIA falls 2-9 with 10,000 (down 75%) and Vince Guaraldi Trio’s A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack is steady at No. 10, with 9,000 sold (up 37%).

When KPop Demon Hunters fever came to the Top Gabb Music Songs chart in July, listeners seemed more inclined to stream Saja Boys, the Netflix film’s demon boy band, than HUNTR/X, the girl group trio hunting them down.
But now the tides have turned, as HUNTR/X’s “Golden” not only reigns for a second month on the October 2025 chart; the group’s “How It’s Done” also rises to No. 2.
Billboard has partnered with Gabb Wireless, a phone company for kids and teens, to present a monthly chart tracking on-demand streams via its Gabb Music platform. Gabb Music offers a vast catalog of songs, all of which are selected by the Gabb team to include only kid- and teen-appropriate content. Gabb Music streams are not currently factored into any other Billboard charts.
The October 2025 chart marks the third published ranking since Gabb Music was made available via app stores, meaning users can now download the streaming app to devices other than Gabb Wireless’ phones and tablets.
In July, Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” crowned the ranking, followed by a pair of HUNTR/X songs in “Golden” and “Takedown” at Nos. 2 and 3. Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” ruled the August survey, followed by the aforementioned “How It’s Done” and “Your Idol,” and “Golden” ascended to the throne in September, with the two Saja Boys tunes in hot pursuit.
But this time, HUNTR/X becomes the first of the warring groups to occupy the entire top two thanks to “How It’s Done” rising to No. 2, while “Soda Pop” and “Your Idol” must be content with Nos. 3 and 4, respectively.
With a second month at No. 1, “Golden” is the first song to reign for multiple months since Forrest Frank’s “Your Way’s Better” ruled between April and June.
“Golden” topped the multimetric, weekly Billboard Hot 100 for two frames in October, reigning on the Oct. 4 and 11 lists. It appears at No. 2 on the latest (Nov. 22-dated) tally.
While music from KPop Demon Hunters remains ubiquitous on the latest Top Gabb Music Songs ranking, occupying seven of the top eight positions for the second month in a row, October marks the first time since the songs’ July debut that something else seeps into the top five: Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” which lifts one position to No. 5.
One song debuts on the October chart, though it’s not a newly released song. Billie Eilish and Khalid’s 2018 collaboration “Lovely” bows at No. 24, over six years after the song peaked at No. 64 on the Hot 100 in January 2019. It’s Khalid’s first appearance on Top Gabb Music Songs since the ranking’s October 2024 inception, while Eilish has previously made the 25-positon survey with “Wildflower.”
