*No. 1 debut

With 10 Hot 100 No. 1s in the 2020s, Swift widens her lead over Drake and Ariana Grande (eight each) for the most this decade.

Swift also becomes just the fourth artist with a double-digit total of Hot 100 No. 1s in a single decade, with her 10 in the ‘20s following Mariah Carey’s 14 in the 1990s and The Beatles’ 18 and The Supremes’ 12 in the ‘60s.

Plus, as “I Knew It, I Knew You,” the 1,194th No. 1 in the Hot 100’s history, and the 93rd single to debut at the summit, follows Swift’s triumph with “Opalite” in February, she’s the first artist with two new No. 1s this year.

“I Knew It, I Knew You” is also Swift’s ninth career No. 1 Hot 100 debut, as she passes Grande for the most among women. Overall, Drake has a leading 10.

70 TOYS

Swift’s 15th Hot 100 No. 1 is also her 70th top 10, dating to her first, “Change,” in August 2008.

Most Billboard Hot 100 Top 10s:

1. 90, Drake
2. 70, Taylor Swift
3. 38, Madonna
4. 35, The Beatles
5. 32, Rihanna

10. 27, Justin Bieber
11. 27, Janet Jackson
12. 26, Lil Wayne
13. 25, Elvis Presley (whose career start predated the Hot 100’s inception)

“I Knew It, I Knew You” is also Swift’s 178th top 40 Hot 100 hit and her 277th entry overall. The marks are the most among women and second among all acts only to Drake’s 241 and 402, respectively.

MOUSE IN THE REPUBLIC PENTHOUSE

“I Knew It, I Knew You” is the third Hot 100 No. 1 ever from an animated Disney film, and the first from its Pixar studio — as well as the first to debut in the top spot and Swift’s first leader from a movie. It follows the ensemble “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” from Encanto, in 2022 and Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle’s “A Whole New World,” from Aladdin, in 1993.

Toy Story 5 premieres wide in theaters June 19, following its June 9 Hollywood preview, at which Swift gave “I Knew It, I Knew You” its first live performance.

The song marks Pixar’s first No. 1 Hot 100 placement, Walt Disney Records’ second — after “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” — and MCA Nashville’s third.

Republic, with the REPUBLIC Collective the top Hot 100 label for five years running, links its third consecutive new No. 1, following Ariana Grande’s “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” which debuted on top a week earlier, and Drake’s “Janice STFU,” which led in its first two chart weeks before that. The company is the first ever to notch three Hot 100 No. 1 debuts in as few as four weeks.

RETURN TO COUNTRY

“I Knew It, I Knew You” concurrently bounds in at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart, as Swift’s milestone 10th leader. Here’s a recap:

1. “I Knew It, I Knew You,” one week at No. 1 to date, June 20, 2026*
2. “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version),” one, Nov. 27, 2021*
3. “Love Story (Taylor’s Version),” one, Feb. 27, 2021*
4. “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” 10, beginning Oct. 20, 2012
5. “Ours,” one, March 31, 2012
6. “Sparks Fly,” one, Nov. 26, 2011
7. “You Belong With Me,” two, Aug. 22, 2009
8. “Love Story,” two, Nov. 22, 2008
9. “Should’ve Said No,” two, Aug. 23, 2008
10. “Our Song,” six Dec. 22, 2007

*No. 1 debut

(Of Swift’s 10 Hot Country Songs No. 1s, she has tallied four since the chart adopted its current multimetric methodology in October 2012; before that, the list solely measured country radio airplay.)

Dating to her first Hot Country Songs No. 1 — and even with her pivot to pop with her fifth proper studio set, 1989, in 2014 — Swift is one of six acts with 10 or more leaders on the chart in that nearly 19-year span, joining Luke Bryan, Morgan Wallen (12 each), Blake Shelton (11), Kenny Chesney and Carrie Underwood (10 each). Swift and Underwood, thus, have the most among women since “Our Song” hit No. 1.

Meanwhile, “I Knew It, I Knew You” is the 32nd hit to have topped both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs, dating to 1958 (when the latter became the country genre’s singular Billboard chart). It’s the 12th so far in the 2020s, the most of any decade.

Jarrett Nolan

I was born a poor Black child into a family that put the “fun” in dysfunction. But through that fun, there was A LOT of music. At a very young age, my parents introduced me to everything ranging from Doo Wop to the British Invasion to Motown to Philly Soul to Psychedlic Rock to Funk.

Since I’m a Jersey boy born-n-bred, I landed a job at WHTZ (Z100) as a producer. I gave the DJs info about artists to read on-air – most of mine were chart-related, naturally.

I did double duty at WSBG, a small market radio station in the Poconos, as a DJ because I have a face for radio.

Through a random twist of fate, I wound up at BMG Distribution in Times Square. Shortly after, I ended up at Arista (shouldn’t have done that!). My career in the music industry ended with a stint at being a personal assistant to alterna-rap act PM Dawn.
