The Life of a Showgirl garnered 77% of the vote, outpacing new releases from Luke Combs (“Days Like These”), Louis Tomlinson (“Lemonade”), Leon Thomas (“Just How You Are”), Kali Uchis featuring Mariah the Scientist (“Pretty Promises”), and more.
Arriving a year and a half after her chart-dominating The Tortured Poets Department — which spent 17 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — Swift’s new project marks yet another career-defining moment.
Released on Oct. 3, The Life of a Showgirl was produced by Swift alongside longtime collaborators Max Martin and Shellback. The 12-track album offers a vivid reflection on her life over the past two years, from circling the globe on the Eras Tour to her high-profile romance with fiancé Travis Kelce.
On “Father Figure,” Swift interpolates George Michael’s 1987 hit of the same name, while the album’s title track features Sabrina Carpenter, marking their first duet since touring together in 2024.
The music video fro lead single “The Fate of Ophelia” premiered as part of The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, a special movie event running in theaters through Oct. 5. The film debuted at No. 1 at the domestic box office, earning an estimated $33 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In the poll, Luke Combs’ heartfelt new single “Days Like These” placed second with about 7% of the vote, while the “Other” category took third with 6.5%.
