The track has not reached the top spot on the Adult Contemporary ranking despite multiple weeks at No. 2.
"The Fate of Ophelia" reaches No. 1, Swift would record her tenth chart-topper on the Adult Contemporary list. That total would tie her with Olivia Newton-John and Whitney Houston for the eighth-most leaders among all artists. Swift has nine prior No.
