Taylor Swift Just Broke a Billboard Hot 100 Record No Other Artist Has Reached This Century

Taylor Swift has officially made history with her latest song release.

"I Knew It, I Knew You," Swift's brand-new original song for the Toy Story 5 soundtrack, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, according to new chart standings dated the week of June 12.

The feel-good country song becomes Swift's 15th song to ever reach No. 1 on the Hot 100, making her the artist with the most Hot 100 No. 1 hits in the 21st century. She surpasses fellow music superstars Drake and Rihanna, who have each tallied up 14 No. 1's on the chart this century.

Swift now ranks third among the artists with the most No. 1 Hot 100 hits of all time, following behind The Beatleswith 20 and Mariah Carey with 19. (Some lists include Elvis Presley as No. 3, considering that many of his hit songs pre-dated the Hot 100, and others appeared on now-retired charts). But if we're talking official No. 1's, Swift is now in third place.

Taylor Swift's "I Knew It, I Knew You" Also Makes Disney History

In addition to earning Swift another No. 1 hit on the Billboard 100, "I Knew It, I Knew You" also marks a noteworthy milestone for Disney. It is now the first-ever Disney soundtrack song to debut at No. 1 on the chart.

"We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto also hit No. 1 in 2022, becoming the first Disney No. 1 song on the Hot 100 since "A Whole New World" from Aladdin went No. 1 in 1993, though neither of those hits debuted at the top spot.

"I Knew It, I Knew You" becomes Swift's 11th song to debut at the summit of the Hot 100, joining the ranks of other smash hits like "Shake It Off," "Look What You Made Me Do," "cardigan," "willow," "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)," "Anti-Hero," "Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version)," "Fortnight," "The Fate of Ophelia" and "Opalite."
