Taylor Swift’s ‘The Fate of Ophelia’ Leads Hot 100 for Fifth Week, Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ Returns to Top 10

Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” towers over all competition on the Billboard Hot 100 for a fifth week, encompassing its entire run on the chart so far.

Of the superstar’s 13 career Hot 100 No. 1s, “The Fate of Ophelia” is her third to have led for at least five weeks. It joins “Anti-Hero” (eight weeks, beginning Nov. 5, 2022) and “Blank Space” (seven, Nov. 29, 2014).

Meanwhile, following Halloween, Michael Jackson posthumously makes history on the Hot 100 as “Thriller” blasts from No. 32 to No. 10. With the song, which hit No. 4 in 1984, the late King of Pop becomes the first artist ever to rank in the top 10 in six distinct decades (the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s, 2000s, ‘10s and now ‘20s).
