Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” has officially lapped Morgan Wallen’s highly successful “I’m The Problem” album.
Taylor Swift’s The Life of A Showgirl has officially taken the crown as the best-selling album of 2025 in the U.S., surpassing Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem in total units — and she did it in just about two weeks. That’s not just impressive; it’s the kind of historic flex that only Taylor could pull off.
Before Taylor’s takeover, Morgan Wallen had a strong grip on the charts. I’m the Problem dominated Billboard for eight straight weeks upon release, returning to No. 1 a few times later. It seemed unstoppable, a streaming and sales machine fueled by Wallen’s dedicated fanbase and crossover appeal. But Taylor Swift is, well, Taylor Swift — and when she drops, everything else tends to orbit around her.
With The Life of A Showgirl, Taylor continues to break records like it’s second nature. The album reportedly earned some of the biggest first-week sales numbers in modern history. Fans rushed to buy multiple vinyl variants, digital editions, and exclusive bundles, pushing her past Wallen’s totals faster than anyone could have predicted.
The real story now isn’t just who’s on top — it’s how long Taylor will stay there. Can The Life of A Showgirl hold its momentum through the end of the year, or will Morgan Wallen mount a comeback? Either way, history is being written in real time — and every chart update feels like another chapter in one of music’s greatest rivalries.
