The track appears on the superstar’s 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl, and first hit the summit on the U.K. charts dated Oct. 10, holding the spot for three consecutive weeks. After being briefly knocked off the top spot by KPop Demon Hunters’ “Golden,” Swift regained the No. 1 earlier this month (Nov. 28), where she has remained since.

The current leading ladies in British pop have also made major moves on the chart this week. It’s a personal best for RAYE’s “Where Is My Husband!,” which secures a new No. 2 peak, while Olivia Dean’s “So Easy (To Fall In Love)” follows, breaking the top three for the first time. 

Dean also scoops a hat-trick, rounding out the top five with “Man I Need” (No. 4) and Sam Fender collab “Rein Me In” (No. 5). “Let Alone the One You Love,” another track from the north London singer’s The Art Of Loving LP, makes its maiden chart entry at No. 21.

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande earn this week’s highest new entry with For Good (No. 14), the emotional centrepiece of the recently-released Wicked: For Good soundtrack. Two other songs from the film also appear in the top 40 “No Good Deed” (No. 17) and “As Long As You’re Mine” (No. 29).

As the rumour mill runs into overdrive, with fans theorising if Timothée Chalamet is secretly performing as rapper EsDeeKid, the balaclava-clad artist makes a major splash on this week’s chart. He earns his first top 10 with “Century” (No. 10), with the Rico Ace-assisted “Phantom” shortly behind at No. 12. “4 Raws,” meanwhile,” appears at No. 27.
