LOS ANGELES: Taylor Swift has reached another milestone in her career as her latest single, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The track, featured in Toy Story 5, becomes Swift’s 15th chart-topping hit, further strengthening her position among the most successful artists in Billboard history.
With this achievement, she surpasses both Drake and Rihanna in total No. 1 singles, now ranking third overall, behind only The Beatles and Mariah Carey.
The song is also breaking records beyond the main chart. It is the first Pixar-associated song ever to reach No. 1 on the Hot 100 and only the third song from a Disney animated film to achieve the milestone.
According to Billboard, the track posted an exceptionally strong first-week performance, driven by massive streaming numbers, high radio airplay, and strong digital sales.
In addition, the song debuted at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart, adding another achievement to Swift’s growing list of genre-crossing successes.
The single also marks her 70th top 10 entry on the Hot 100, extending her record as the female artist with the most top 10 hits in chart history.
Swift reportedly collaborated with producer Jack Antonoff on the track and previewed it during the Toy Story 5 premiere event.
While the film is yet to be released, the song has already made a significant cultural and commercial impact ahead of its debut.
Over the years, the Grammy-winning artist has released numerous chart-topping hits, making her one of the most successful and influential musicians of her generation.
In addition to her musical achievements, Swift has built a powerful global brand through strategic business decisions, exclusive partnerships, and a loyal fan base that continues to support her projects.
Her albums consistently break streaming records, while her concert films and merchandise sales have generated substantial additional revenue.
With a career spanning nearly two decades, Swift remains one of the most dominant figures in global entertainment.
