On 24 November, Taylor Swift unveiled three limited-edition vinyl variants of her album The Life of a Showgirl. These variants were available for only 24 hours, ending at 11 am ET on 25 November. The timing has prompted renewed accusations that the pop superstar employs strategic release tactics to maintain her chart dominance, potentially impacting emerging artists during the critical holiday sales period.
The vinyl drop coincides with Showgirl maintaining its position at number one on the Billboard 200 for a seventh consecutive week. If it remains there, Swift will match Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem as one of the few albums in 2025 to spend its first eight weeks at the top of the chart.
