\n\tTaylor Swift<\/a> has held onto the top spot of the U.K. Singles Chart<\/a> for a fifth non-consecutive week with \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d (Nov. 21).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe single first shot to No. 1 on the U.K. charts dated Oct. 10, and held the spot for three consecutive weeks. Following a back-and-forth tussle with KPop Demon Hunters\u2019 \u201cGolden,\u201d Swift regained the No. 1 spot last week (Nov. 14) and she now extends her streak for a second week.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d is Swift\u2019s longest-running U.K. No. 1 single since \u201cAnti-Hero\u201d from 2022\u2019s Midnights earned six weeks at No. 1; \u201cIs It Over Now? (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d (2023) and \u201cFortnight\u201d (2024) lasted just a single week each.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d appears on The Life of a Showgirl, her 14th U.K. No. 1 album. Swift boasts the most No. 1s on the U.K. Albums Charts for an international artist, and ties for second overall with The Rolling Stones (14). The top spot is also currently a tie between The Beatles and Robbie Williams, who both have 15 apiece.<\/p>\n

\n\tHUNTR\/X<\/a>\u2019s \u201cGolden\u201d remains at No. 2, having spent a non-consecutive 10 weeks at the top position, while RAYE<\/a> also holds her position at No. 3 for a fifth consecutive week with \u201cWHERE IS MY HUSBAND!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOlivia Dean<\/a> scores two songs within the top five as her The Art of Loving continues to go from strength to strength. \u201cSo Easy (To Fall in Love With Me)\u201d reaches a new peak at No. 4, while \u201cMan I Need\u201d slips one place to No. 5. She appears twice more on the charts with\u00a0Sam Fender collaboration \u201cRein Me In\u201d up to No. 7 and \u201cA Couple Minutes\u201d hitting a new peak at No. 13.<\/p>\n

\n\tRising Liverpool rapper EsDeeKid has three songs in the top 40 with \u201cPhantom\u201d (No. 15), \u201cCentury\u201d (No. 16) and \u201c4 Raws\u201d (No. 35) all performing strongly. Charli xcx claims the week\u2019s highest new entry with her \u201cChains of Love,\u201d from her Wuthering Heights soundtrack LP, placing at No. 26.<\/p>\n
