- Swift now shares the record with Rihanna for the third-highest number of Hot 100 No. 1s, behind The Beatles (20) and Mariah Carey (19).
- "Opalite" represents Swift's ninth No. 1 since 2020, extending her record for the most this decade.
- This track is the second Hot 100 leader from her 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl, following "The Fate of Ophelia," which spent 10 weeks at No. 1.
- The Life of a Showgirl is Swift's second album to generate multiple No. 1 singles, after 1989 (2014-15).
Factors for Chart Ascent
"Opalite" rose to the top position due to an increase in physical sales that were shipped to consumers and the release of new remixes during the tracking week. Its official music video premiered earlier in February.

Chart Data Methodology
The Hot 100 chart calculates rankings using U.S. streaming data (official audio and video), radio airplay, and sales data. Sales data includes purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers, while digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded. Luminate, an independent data provider, conducts thorough reviews of all data submissions, authenticating and removing suspicious or unverifiable data before final chart calculations.
