Billboard 200 | “The Life of a Showgirl”, de Taylor Swift, domina pela 6ª semana

Taylor Swift continua imbatível. Seu novo álbum, “The Life of a Showgirl”, garantiu pela sexta semana consecutiva o primeiro lugar na Billboard 200 (parada datada de 22 de novembro), com 110 mil unidades equivalentes vendidas nos Estados Unidos, segundo dados da Luminate. Mesmo com queda de 8% em relação à semana anterior, o álbum segue líder absoluto do mercado fonográfico norte-americano.

O disco se torna apenas o segundo álbum de 2025 a passar suas seis primeiras semanas em nº1 — seguindo “I’m the Problem”, de Morgan Wallen, que permaneceu oito semanas seguidas no topo. A própria Swift já havia alcançado o feito com “The Tortured Poets Department”, que liderou por 12 semanas consecutivas em 2024.

No total desta semana, “Showgirl” acumulou 88,5 mil unidades de streaming (equivalente a 115,9 milhões de plays sob demanda), mantendo o álbum como nº1 no ranking Top Streaming Albums. As vendas físicas chegaram a 19 mil unidades, enquanto downloads e faixas equivalentes somaram 2,5 mil.

Rosalía entra no top 10 pela primeira vez

Rosalía conquistou seu primeiro top 10 ao estrear no quarto lugar com “LUX”, impulsionada por 46 mil unidades equivalentes — a melhor semana de vendas de sua carreira. O desempenho se deve, em grande parte, ao lançamento de múltiplas versões físicas, incluindo box sets de CD com roupas, vinis exclusivos e edições autografadas, com três faixas extras que não estão disponíveis no streaming.

O single “Berghain”, parceria com Björk e Yves Tumor, também ganhou força e subiu para o 16º lugar na parada Hot Rock & Alternative Songs.

Subidas, quedas e estreias no top 10

O top 10 da Billboard 200 ainda trouxe movimentações importantes:

• Olivia Dean alcança seu melhor desempenho, subindo do 7º para o 5º lugar com “The Art of Loving” (41 mil unidades; +11%)
• Sabrina Carpenter mantém “Man’s Best Friend” em 6º lugar (37 mil unidades)
• SZA sobe para o 7º lugar com “SOS”
• Cardi B avança para a 8ª posição com “AM I THE DRAMA?”
• Morgan Wallen mantém “One Thing at a Time” em 9º lugar

Fechando o top 10 está a estreia de YEONJUN, do TOMORROW X TOGETHER, com “NO LABELS PART 01”, que somou 29 mil unidades equivalentes — sendo impressionantes 27 mil em vendas físicas, garantindo o nº1 no ranking Top Album Sales.

O TXT agora soma 12 entradas na Billboard 200, sete delas dentro do top 10 — incluindo o nº1 “The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION” (2023).

"I Got Better" by Morgan Wallen

Listen on Apple Music (https://music.apple.com/us/album/i-got-better/1802103906?i=1802103912)

I haven't posted here in a while as many of you know. So you know what, let's change that and get back to posting here again!

Today's song is I Got Better by Morgan Wallen. It's hands down my favorite song by him as it's super catchy!

[Verse 1]
Everything's still pretty much the same 'round here
Neighbors still shootin' all of next year's deer
Boys still lose 'less they're playin' at home
But I got better since you got gone
I'm still a few too many on a Friday night
I still try to step in when it ain't my fight
I'm still me, don't get me wrong
But I got better since you got gone

[Chorus]
Swear it was like, "I'll be damned"
I'm finally back to bein' who I am
When we were over, it was overnight
Light came on, it all felt right, when it all went wrong
You turned me loose
Wasn't no tellin' who I'd turn into
But it turns out me and you together's why it took so long
'Cause I got better since you got gone

[Verse 2]
For a little while there, you had me convinced
That my mama was the devil, now we're talkin' again
My friends you hated ain't said one word
Besides, "You got better since you lost her"
