Taylor Swift has made it abundantly clear that the latter half of 2025 will belong to her. The singer-songwriter recently announced a new album, The Life of a Showgirl, and in short order shared both its brightly-hued cover and its October 3 release date. Before any music from her latest era has been released, speculation about a new chapter has helped many of Swift’s most popular projects rise in the United Kingdom, and one of her more recent sets returns to the most important list.

Midnights Returns to the U.K. Albums Chart

Midnights finds its way back to the Official Albums chart, the U.K.’s list that details the 100 most consumed full-lengths and EPs in the country. This frame, Swift’s bestseller reenters at No. 92.

Folklore, The Tortured Poets Department, Reputation and Lover

With Midnights back on the all-encompassing Official Albums chart, Swift now claims five wins this week. Her other four titles — Folklore, The Tortured Poets Department, Reputation, and Lover — all climb from where they sat last time. This frame, they appear at Nos. 34, 49, 72, and 75, respectively.

Midnights Spent Five Weeks at No. 1

Midnights has not been absent from the Official Albums chart for long. The project last appeared in late June of this year, ending a years-long winning streak that began in May 2023.

Swift launched Midnights at No. 1 in November 2022. The project spent five frames leading the tally and a total of 57 turns somewhere between Nos. 1 and 10.

Half a Dozen Streaming Successes

As Midnights returns to the Official Albums chart, it also improves on the Official Albums Streaming ranking, pushing from No. 92 to No. 84. Swift fills half a dozen spots on that roster, as all five of her titles that live on the main albums tally are also streaming winners. 1989 also joins in on the run, as it rises from No. 99 to No. 97 on the streaming-only list, but fails to reenter the main albums list.

Midnights Produced Eight Hit Songs

Eight songs from Midnights reached the Official Singles chart during promotion of the title, but only “Anti-Hero” but No. 1, where it spent six frames. “Snow on the Beach,” her collaboration with Lana Del Rey, and “Lavender Haze” also spent time inside the top 10, peaking at Nos. 4 and 3, respectively. Including deluxe editions of the full-length, the project produced additional top 40 wins like “Karma,” “Hits Different,” and “You’re Losing Me.”
