Billboard names Taylor Swift the #1 Biggest Female Artist of 2025

Taylor Swift closes out 2025 with another monumental achievement, securing the title of Billboard’s #1 Biggest Female Artist of the Year. The pop icon’s dominance isn’t just a fleeting moment—it’s a testament to her unyielding creativity, fan devotion, and ability to redefine what it means to be a global superstar. From shattering sales records with her latest album to sweeping the Hot 100 like a force of nature, Swift’s 2025 run cements her as the undisputed queen of music.

Billboard’s year-end rankings, based on performance across the Hot 100, Billboard 200, streaming, sales, and radio airplay, paint a picture of sheer ubiquity. Swift didn’t just lead the pack; she lapped it. Her 2025 album, The Life of a Showgirldebuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with a staggering 4.002 million album equivalent units in its first week— including 3,479,500 in pure sales—setting an all-time record for the largest weekly sum by any album in history. This marked her 15th No. 1 album, the most for any female artist ever.

But the real fireworks exploded on the singles charts. Every track from The Life of a Showgirl stormed the Hot 100’s top 12 spots in its debut week—a first in the chart’s 60+ year history, with no interruptions from other artists. Lead single “The Fate of Ophelia” debuted at No. 1, racking up 92.5 million U.S. streams and becoming her 13th chart-topper, tying her with Drake for the fourth-most No. 1s all-time among women. As of October 2025, Swift holds female records for the most Hot 100 entries (276), top 10 hits (69), and top 10 debuts (58), proving her catalog’s enduring appeal.
