*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.

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:

90, Drake

70, Taylor Swift

38, Madonna

35, The Beatles

32, Rihanna

30, Michael Jackson

29, Elton John

28, Mariah Carey

28, Stevie Wonder

27, Justin Bieber

27, Janet Jackson

26, Lil Wayne

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.

“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.

“Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time,” Swift shared June 1 on Instagram. “Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now … is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.”

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.

Swift’s ‘Knew’-est No. 1 as a Writer & Producer

Swift cowrote and coproduced “I Knew It, I Knew You” with Jack Antonoff. She has now cowritten all 15 of her Hot 100 No. 1s and coproduced nine.

The youngest ever inductee to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, as of June 11, Swift ties for the seventh-most Hot 100 No. 1s all-time among writers.

Most Hot 100 No. 1s by Writers:

32, Paul McCartney

30, Max Martin

26, John Lennon

18, Mariah Carey

18, Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald

16, Barry Gibb

15, Drake

15, James “Jimmy Jam” Harris III

15, Brian Holland

15, Terry Lewis

15, Taylor Swift

14, Lamont Dozier

Antonoff earns his 11th Hot 100 No. 1 as both a writer and producer. It’s his sixth and seventh in those respective roles with Swift, a chart-topping partnership that they began with “Look What You Made Me Do” and had most recently expanded with “Fortnight.”

Swift’s 10th Hot Country Songs No. 1

“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:

*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.
