Taylor Swift’s album “The Life of a Showgirl” is No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a 15th nonconsecutive week, Billboard reported on Sunday (US time).

The album earned 87,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending 15 October, down 7% on the previous week, according to data provider Luminate.

Olivia Dean’s “The Art of Loving” was No. 7, Kahan’s “Stick Season” No. 8 and Drake’s “ICEMAN” No. 10. Rock band Greta Van Fleet debuted at No. 9 with “Palace for the People”, which earned 30,000 units, 26,000 of them from album sales. It is the band’s fourth top-10 album, Billboard said.

The full chart, dated 24 October, is due to be published on Billboard’s website on 20 October, US time.
