Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl spends a sixth consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated Nov. 22). The set earned 110,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Nov. 13 (down 8%), according to Luminate.
The Life of a Showgirl is only the second album in 2025 to spend its first six 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. Three of her albums have led for their first six chart weeks or more, starting with Folklore, which reigned for its first six weeks in 2020, of eight overall weeks at No. 1.
Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Rosalía earns her first top 10 with the No. 4 debut of LUX, Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving hits a new peak as it rises 7-5 and YEONJUN’s debut solo album, NO LABELS PART 01, enters at No. 10.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric 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. 22, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Nov. 18). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.
Of The Life of a Showgirl’s 110,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 88,500 (down 10%, equaling 115.91 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks — it’s No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums for a sixth week), album sales comprise 19,000 (up 7%; it holds at No. 4 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 2,500 (down 32%).
At Nos. 2 and 3 on the Billboard 200, Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem and the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack trade places as compared to a week ago. The former chart-toppers earned 76,000 equivalent album units (down 2%) and 75,000 units (down 11%), respectively.
Rosalía gets her first top 10 with the No. 4 debut of LUX, as it arrives with a personal-best week of 46,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 27,000 (equaling 34.49 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks — a career-high streaming week for the artist, as it debuts at No. 9 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 19,000 (her best sales week ever; it debuts at No. 4 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.
Rosalía previously charted one album on the Billboard 200, 2022’s MOTOMAMI, which debuted and peaked at No. 33.
The new album was preceded by the single “Berghain” (with Björk and Yves Tumor), which climbed 21-16 on the most recently published Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart (dated Nov. 15). LUX’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across four different CD boxed sets (each including branded clothing and a copy of the CD) and two different vinyl LPs (one signed by Rosalía), along with a standard CD and digital download album. The physical editions of the album include three additional tracks as compared to the standard digital download and streaming edition.
Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving reaches a new peak on the Billboard 200 as it climbs 7-5 with 41,000 equivalent album units earned (up 11%).
Four former No. 1s follow Dean, as Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend is a non-mover at No. 6 (37,000 equivalent album units, down 5%), SZA’s SOS rises 8-7 (32,000, up 3%), Cardi B’s AM I THE DRAMA? ascends 10-8 (30,000, up 9%), and Wallen’s One Thing at a Time is stationary at No. 9 (nearly 30,000, up less than 1%).
TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s YEONJUN sees his debut project, NO LABELS PART 01, enter at No. 10 with 29,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 27,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 2,000 (equaling 3.24 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The set’s first-week sales were assisted by its availability across multiple CD iterations, each including collectible paper ephemera (some randomized), alongside a standard digital download edition.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER has charted a dozen entries on the Billboard 200, with seven reaching the top 10 and one of those, 2023’s The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION, reaching No. 1.

Pop star Chappell Roan turned to Duolingo to surprise her fans with some Spanish during her debut in Mexico on Saturday (Nov. 15) night at the Corona Capital festival.
“¡Hola, buenas noches! Me llamo Chappell Roan,” said the singer-songwriter to the 75,000 people (according to promoter Ocesa’s figures) gathered around the main stage at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. “Are you ready to get ‘Naked in Manhattan?’” she added in English, referencing her song of the same name.
It was the prelude to a grand celebration filled with the dance and synth-pop hits that have made the young singer one of the most celebrated stars today.
Later, seated on a giant throne while holding a gremlin-shaped toy, she revealed more about her attempts to learn the language. “I’m on day 55 of my Duolingo for Spanish, and I practiced saying that sentence in Spanish, and I’m too embarrassed to try and speak it,” she said shyly before performing “Coffee.”
Hundreds of fans responded by chanting “¡Sí se puede!” (Yes, we can!) in unison to try to encourage her. “Chappell, sister, you’re already Mexican!” shouted another group of supporters to applaud her effort, also in Spanish.
On several occasions, Roan interacted with the audience that eagerly awaited her during the marathon day of the musical feast, which also marked the 2025 closing of her Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things Tour, a title that is reflected in her fairytale gothic aesthetic.
“I was really nervous to play this show because I’ve never played in Mexico before,” she confessed. “I wasn’t sure, honestly, what the turn out was gonna be, so I’m glad, thank you for showing up, and this is so awesome!”
Throughout the performance, the singer was literally the queen of a castle that filled the stage. Her often theatrical performance reached a surreal climax when the 27-year-old artist also paid homage to the famous Mexican celebration of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead), which is held on Nov. 1 and 2 to honor deceased loved ones.
“I wanted to be a screaming banshee, and so I was like, Il’l be scary cause I feel like Mexico City can handle it,” the artists said. “I literally think this is the only place that can handle me looking like this,” she added about her outfit: a bridal gown with veils and lace, her mouth and teeth stained red to simulate blood. (Banshees are female spirits from Irish folklore, described as messengers of death whose wailing or screaming announces the passing of a close relative.)
An enthusiastic audience sang along to every word of her hits, from “Pink Pony Club” to “Good Luck, Babe.” Even the unreleased single “The Subway” and her cover of Heart’s “Barracuda” were a resounding success. The emotion conveyed by the 2025 Grammy winner for best new artist brought tears to the eyes of many of her fans, who expressed their gratitude for her visit. Roan is set to visit other Latin American countries in 2026 when she participates in the Lollapalooza festivals in Chile, Argentina and Brazil.
The second day of activities at the Corona Capital festival also included performances by acts such as Vampire Weekend, Aurora, Marina, Mogwai, Alabama Shakes, Jehnny Beth, Haute & Freddy y Half-Alive. Italian star Damiano David canceled his participation last minute due to health reasons, according to a statement released on his social media.
The program was set to continue on Sunday with Linkin Park, the much-anticipated return of Deftones to Mexico, James, AFI, Weezer, Jerry Cantrell, TV on the Radio, and more.

Olivia Dean made her Saturday Night Live debut on Nov. 15, performing two songs from her latest album, The Art of Loving.
The 26-year-old U.K. singer-songwriter and BRIT School alum appeared alongside host Glen Powell, delivering an ebullient rendition of “Man I Need” and a mesmeric performance of “Let Alone the One You Love.”
Both tracks appear on Dean’s sophomore album, The Art of Loving, which reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200 following its September release.
Recently nominated for best new artist at the 2026 Grammy Awards, the soul-pop artist opened her set with “Man I Need,” wearing a sparkly gold dress and backed by a full band. She followed with “Let Alone the One You Love,” performing in a flowing pink gown against a matching backdrop.
Dean has built significant crossover momentum in the U.S. in recent months, currently holding four entries on the Billboard Hot 100, including the top 5 hit “Man I Need.”
“I’ve never been somebody who has followed trends or made music because of what else was popular at the time,” Dean told Billboard. “I like old music, I like soul music, I like Motown. That’s what I wanted to make, and in my mind, I’m in my own lane in that way.”
She also recently announced The Art of Loving Tour, slated for next summer. The North American run kicks off in San Francisco on July 10 and includes stops in Los Angeles, New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Atlanta, Toronto, Las Vegas, Boston, and Houston before wrapping in Austin on Aug. 28.

The clip is a continuation of a bit he started when announcing the European leg of the tour.
“You are here today because little orphan Annie is suing you, preventing your U.S. tour from happening,” Judge Aniston says to Warren in the scene’s opening, which then has a young redhead going by “Annie” accusing “that little b—-” (Warren) of “stealing my whole brand.”
“I can’t control the fact that both my parents are dead,” Warren says.
Not to worry — the tour will go on! Parodying a dramatic twist, Greenfield strolls in to reveal some pertinent information that’s in favor of Warren’s defense.
“MY FIRST ARENA TOUR!!! presale wednesday and general sale next friday at 10am… see you soon,” Warren wrote in an Instagram post that features the promo clip.
Warren’s 2026 tour begins at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on May 25 and runs through July 15, when he’ll take the stage at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian reunited for what appeared to be an epic pajama party.
On Friday (Nov. 14), the Skims mogul shared a glimpse of the group getting cozy on a bed with Khloé Kardashian, along with the pop star’s longtime manager, Cade Hudson.
“Calabasas Nights,” Kim captioned the first snapshot on her Instagram Story.
In the image, Spears sticks out her tongue while Kim puckers her lips and flashes a peace sign, with Khloé and Hudson looking on. The “Toxic” singer wore a yellow off-the-shoulder top, while Kim sported a dark hooded jacket.
A second photo shows the quartet playfully posing under dark pink lighting, as Khloé dons festive holiday-themed PJs and flashes a cheeky smile.
Britney and Kim’s friendship dates back to the early 2000s. In 2021, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star reacted to the Framing Britney Spears documentary, which exposed the misogynistic media scrutiny Spears endured for years.
“So I finally watched the Britney Spears documentary this week and it made me feel a lot of empathy for her,” Kim wrote on Instagram at the time. “The way the media played a big role in her life the way it did can be very traumatizing and it can really break even the strongest person. No matter how public someone’s life may seem, no one deserves to be treated with such cruelty or judgement for entertainment.”
In recent weeks, Spears has made headlines after deactivating and then reactivating her Instagram amid drama surrounding the release of her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s tell-all memoir, You Thought You Knew, which contains several sensational claims about their two-year marriage.
“So much has happened this year, it’s crazy …,” Spears wrote on IG in early November after reactivating her account. “I try to live within my means and the book, ‘Draw the Circle’ is an incredible perspective. Get your ballerina 🩰, circle, and own your boundaries.”
She added, “It’s incredibly strict and somewhat of a form of prayer but with so many endless possibilities in life, it’s important to do you and keep it simple. I know there is a confusing side too. The devil is in the details but we can get to that later 😳😂🤧.”

Taylor Swift possesses the key to another No. 1 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart. She adds her record-extending 14th leader on the list as “The Fate of Ophelia” leaps three spots to the top of the Nov. 22-dated ranking.

Here’s a recap of Swift’s 14 No. 1s on Pop Airplay, which measures songs’ weekly plays, as tabulated by Mediabase and provided to Billboard by Luminate, on more than 150 U.S. mainstream top 40 radio stations. (The chart began in October 1992.)

“The Fate of Ophelia,” one (to date), 2025
“Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” one, 2024

“Blank Space,” six, 2014-15
“Shake It Off,” two, 2014

The coronation for “The Fate of Ophelia” marks the song’s latest achievement on Pop Airplay, after it debuted at No. 8 on the Oct. 18 chart, becoming the first title ever to arrive in the top 10. It reigns in its sixth week on the list, completing Swift’s quickest rise to No. 1 since “Bad Blood” led in its fifth frame in 2015.
“The Fate of Ophelia” is from Swift’s album The Life of a Showgirl. The set and song have topped the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100 charts, respectively, for five weeks running, encompassing their entire runs on the rankings so far.
Plus, the album’s “Opalite” ascends 25-20 on Pop Airplay for a new high.
“‘The Fate of Ophelia’ allowed her fans to peek in the window of her newfound happiness,” Nadine Santos, Music Choice vp of programming and artist relations, tells Billboard; Music Choice’s Pop Airplay reporter Today’s Hits is playing both of Swift’s love songs on the current chart. “With her witty and creative approach to her song lyrics, it’s the Taylor we have all been waiting to hear.”

When the name Q Parker is mentioned, the first thing that usually springs to mind for most is the Grammy-winning group 112. Between the mid-‘90s and the mid-’00s, the R&B quartet’s mesmerizing harmonies were a radio staple, thanks to classics such as “Only You,” “Cupid,” “It’s Over Now,” “Peaches & Cream” and “U Already Know.”

After the members opted to pursue solo projects, Parker released his first solo studio album in 2012, The MANual. Now 13 years later, Parker is back — and he’s still got love and romance on his mind. Released today (Nov. 14), sophomore solo set Evolution of Romance, Volume One (on Parker’s Paramount Collective Ventures label via ONErpm) is a melodious, insightful, sensual and frank 34-minute discourse on a topic that never loses its allure.
“I want this project to be a conversation between men and women about affection, courtship, support, love; all the things that true romance encompasses,” Parker — the self-proclaimed “Romance Dealer” — declared ahead of the album’s release.
Romance aside, the album is just as much about the evolution of Parker as a solo artist and songwriter. In the latter arena, his penmanship credits beyond 112 include Faith Evans, New Edition, Keyshia Cole and The Notorious B.I.G. Among Parker’s collaborators on Evolution of Romance are Felly the Voice (Chris Brown, Usher), Blac Elvis (Ciara, Kelly Rowland) and Rico Love (Beyoncé, Usher). The album has spun off three singles: “Keep on Lovin’,” “BEG” (his first top 10 solo hit on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart) and “Triple F’s (F Me. Feed Me. Be a Fan of Me)” Additional standouts include the one-two punch of “Put It On” and “Take It Off,” plus “World War.”
“I’m staying committed to R&B because I know it’s a place that listeners long for and ask for — and I’m here to deliver,” says Parker. “I’m not going anywhere anytime soon.”
Below, he talks more about the new set, and about the challenges of going it on his own.
Why the long break between your first and second solo albums?
I was just trying to figure out my place. What I like to do is review what’s out in the market and find where I can occupy a space that I can own. I identified that romance was missing; that we [R&B singers] haven’t been paying the right kind of attention to the ladies for a while. From there, it was: “How can I sing and tell stories about romance?” I wanted the album to feel nostalgic but also have a contemporary feel; to be authentic by telling real stories from my life and that of others I’d had conversations with. I wanted to contribute to the legacy of Black male R&B artists who have upheld the genre.
But romance isn’t quick. You have to let it marinate so it can be delivered in a subtle, gentle way — which I can’t do all in one volume. So there will be a volume two and three … and potentially a fourth.
Press materials describe the album as “grown-man R&B.” How did that factor into the sensual scenario spelled out in your latest single “Triple F’s”?
I wanted the records to hit home so everybody can find their place in the lyrics, melodies, instrumentation and delivery of my vocal performance. “Triple F’s” is about males having the microphone to share what we need from the women in our lives. And I think I eloquently summed it up. Obviously, the first F is literal. It means we need the passion, the intimacy of that physical touch. The second F, feed me, is about needing the soul to be fed. And the final F is for fan. Support me; cheer me on. When we get those three things from our women… man, the sky is not [even] the limit.
What’s been the most difficult challenge in going solo?
Being given the opportunity to just be Q Parker. That’s not taking anything away from what I’ve done in the first half of my career with my [112] brothers, because that’s legendary and will forever be etched in the record books. However, Q Parker does have something to say too. It’s difficult when the public is so accustomed to only what they want. Sometimes they’ll say, “I want 112 or nothing.” I don’t think that’s fair. I’m not saying, “Forget 112.” But please allow Q Parker to really show who I am, and what talents I possess.
How concerned are you about AI’s growing presence in music?
I believe in the advancement of technology. I also strongly believe that when all else fails, you lean on your talent. Now there are some great things you can get from AI. But again, there are ways it can be used negatively. As long as I have breath in my body, I’m not necessarily worried about AI. God gifted me with a talent to write and perform music, so I can still put points on the board.
With volume one taking off, just how heavy will wearing the Romance Dealer mantle become?
It’s not heavy at all because it’s who I am. I grew up watching soap operas, which is where I got a lot of my [early] writing material. I watched my dad wining and dining my mom. And as the youngest of four, I also saw my sisters with their boyfriends. So me being the Romance Dealer is just who I am. I’m an R&B song with legs. [Laughs.]
