Taylor Swift has secured her sixth UK No. 1 single as “Opalite” rises to the top of the Official Singles Chart. The track vaults 12 places to claim the summit following renewed momentum driven by its widely discussed music video and a limited 7-inch vinyl release.
Originally peaking at No. 2 in October 2025, during the same week its parent album The Life of a Showgirl debuted at No. 1, “Opalite” has now completed its climb. Notably, for the first time in Swift’s career, one of her albums has produced two UK No. 1 singles. Earlier in 2025, “The Fate of Ophelia” spent seven non-consecutive weeks at the top.
The latest surge follows a carefully staged video rollout. The visual premiered February 6 exclusively on Spotify and Apple Music before expanding to YouTube two days later. The clip features Swift alongside familiar faces from an October episode of The Graham Norton Show, including host Graham Norton, Domhnall Gleeson, Lewis Capaldi, and Jodie Turner-Smith.
“Opalite” now joins a growing list of Swift’s UK chart-toppers: “Look What You Made Me Do” (2017), “Anti-Hero” (2022), “Is It Over Now (Taylor’s Version)” (2023), and “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone (2024).
Elsewhere on this week’s UK Singles Chart, Bad Bunny continues his upward momentum. Following his record-breaking Super Bowl halftime performance, he lands his highest-charting UK single to date as “DtMF” surges 39 places to No. 4. Two additional tracks, “NUEVAYoL” and “BAILE INoLVIDABLE,” enter the Top 20.
Meanwhile, Tame Impala’s “Dracula” re-enters the conversation after BLACKPINK’s JENNIE appeared on a new version of the track. The collaboration lifts the song to No. 25, just shy of its previous peak at No. 21.
