Now that Mariah’s holiday reign is over, Taylor Swift has restarted her campaign to keep Ophelia at the top of the charts. On Sunday, she re-released the 7″ vinyl version of The Fate of Ophelia for five hours (she had previously released this version for 24 hours in December).
On Tuesday she released a new variant, an extended version of the Chainsmokers remix released in November. The new extended version is 25 seconds longer than the original Chainsmokers remix. This is the 11th version of Ophelia that has been released in the 13 weeks since The Life of a Showgirl debuted.

After four weeks of being pummeled by holiday music, which sent Ophelia tumbling down to #28 and sending most of the other Showgirl singles completely off the Hot 100, Taylor Swift has returned to the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Last week only two other Showgirl songs were on the chart (#54 – Opalite, #93 – Elizabeth Taylor). This week, three more Showgirl songs returned:
