Taylor Swift’s ‘Opalite’ Hits No. 1 on Hot 100

“Opalite” drew 11.4 million official streams (down 20% week over week) and 58.9 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 17%) and sold 168,000 (up 2,290%) in the U.S. Feb. 13-19.

The single falls 11-17 on the Streaming Songs chart, after reaching No. 2 upon its debut (it soared by 70% in streams a week ago after the Feb. 6 arrival of its video); jumps 7-3 for a new high on Radio Songs; and blasts 7-1 on Digital Song Sales, where it becomes Swift’s record-extending 31st leader.

Driving the song’s sales splash, 7-inch vinyl and CD singles sold in Swift’s webstore shipped to consumers during the tracking week, while official remixes by BUNT., Chris Lake, Ely Oaks and Skream, its “Life Is a Song” acoustic mix and an instrumental version were also released in that span. The remixes and acoustic version were additionally made available for streaming, along with two nine-minute-plus versions of the audio of its official video.

Of the 168,000 sales for “Opalite” Feb. 13-19, 144,000 were physical (six CD singles, including for each of its remixes, and one vinyl version) and 24,000, digital. The song claims the highest overall weekly sales since Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town” (175,000; Aug. 5, 2023) and the top physical total since Travis Scott’s “4X4” (165,000; Feb. 8, 2025).

Pushing her count to 14 Hot 100 No. 1s, Swift ties for the third-most in the chart’s history.

Here’s a rundown of Swift’s 14 Hot 100 No. 1s:

With nine Hot 100 No. 1s in the 2020s, Swift widens her lead over Drake (seven) for the most this decade. BTS and Ariana Grande follow with six each in the ‘20s.

Plus, Swift and Mariah Carey are the only acts to rank at No. 1 on Hot 100 charts dated in each year this decade, with Carey having extended her streak with “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Career-wide, Swift has reigned in 11 distinct years, second only to Carey’s 22.

Swift co-wrote and co-produced “Opalite” with Max Martin and Shellback. She has now co-written 14 Hot 100 No. 1s and co-produced eight.

Martin adds his 29th Hot 100 No. 1 as a songwriter, trailing only Paul McCartney’s 32. Martin tallies his record-extending 27th No. 1 as a producer.

Shellback scores his 12th Hot 100 leader as a writer and 11th as a producer.

(Swift, Martin and Shellback also co-wrote the three Hot 100 No. 1s from 1989, which Martin and Shellback co-produced. They first led as a writing trio via “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” which Martin and Shellback co-produced with Dann Huff.)

Bruno Mars’ “I Just Might,” up 10-6 after it spent its first two weeks on the Hot 100 at No. 1 in January, climbs 2-1 on Radio Songs (65.3 million, up 7%). He lands his 11th airplay leader, matching Mariah Carey for the second-most since the chart began in December 1990, after Rihanna’s 13.

“I Just Might” tops the multimetric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs charts for a sixth week each.

Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” rebounds 4-2 two weeks after it became her first Hot 100 No. 1. It rules the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a 13th week.

Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need” holds at No. 3 after reaching No. 2 on the Hot 100. Notably, thanks to Swift, Langley and Dean, three solo women rank Nos. 1, 2 and 3 for the first time since the chart dated Nov. 4, 2023, which Swift also led, with “Cruel Summer,” followed, in order, by Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” and SZA’s “Snooze.”

Bad Bunny’s “DtMF” drops to No. 4 on the Hot 100 a week after it hit No. 1. It tops the multimetric Hot Latin Songs chart for a 48th week. He boasts three songs in the Hot 100’s top 10, as “Tití Me Preguntó” descends 7-9, after reaching No. 5, and “Baile Inolvidable” recedes to No. 10 from its No. 2 high.

Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” lifts 6-5 on the Hot 100 after 10 weeks at No. 1 beginning last June.

Also in the Hot 100’s top 10, HUNTR/X’s “Golden” rises 9-7, after eight weeks at No. 1 starting in August, and Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” rebounds 12-8.
