Taylor Swift‘s “The Life of a Showgirl” returned to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart after last vacating that position in January, thanks to the release of an expanded edition titled “The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore” with four new bonus tracks. This resumption at the top marks the 13th week the album has spent at No. 1, a lucky number Swift was surely looking to achieve all these months later.
Swift’s new single, “Patient Zero,” is also expected to bow at No. 1 on the singles chart, Billboard’s Hot 100, but that chart’s top 10 won’t be released till Monday.
Consumption for the expanded “Showgirl” was aided not just by the four new tracks but the release of a high-profile music video for “Patient Zero,” costarring Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell, which premiered on the MTV Video Music Awards last Sunday night.
