\n\tTaylor Swift<\/a>\u2018s run as a true action figure on the charts continues as her \u201cToy Story 5<\/a>\u201d song \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You\u201d was announced Monday as debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s only the third time a theme song from an animated Disney film has reached the summit, following \u201cA Whole New World\u201d from \u201cAladdin\u201d in 1993 and, of course, \u201cWe Don\u2019t Talk About Bruno\u201d from \u201cEncanto\u201d in 2022.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith this becoming her 15th No. 1, Swift now has the third-highest amount of Hot 100 toppers in the chart\u2019s history, Billboard reports<\/a>. She follows only the Beatles, who have 20, and Mariah Carey, with 19. Reaching this new milestone moves her out of the tie she was previously in for third place with Rihanna and Drake, each of whom stood at 14 No. 1s going into this week.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe movie tune bowed with 27.2 million on-demand streams. On the airwaves, it picked up 46.7 million audience impressions. Sales-wise, the first-week figure was 87,000 (all in digital downloads, since CD and vinyl copies Swift put up as limited editions on her webstore didn\u2019t ship until after the debut week was over).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe song was heavily promoted to country radio, something that hasn\u2019t happened with a non-\u201cTaylor\u2019s Version\u201d Vault track since she officially proclaimed herself a pop artist prior to putting out \u201c1989\u201d in 2015. The format was highly receptive, to say the least. It debuted at No. 8 on Billboard\u2019s Country Airplay chart, where new songs rarely premiere in the top 10. The song also bowed at No. 9 on the Adult Contemporary Airplay chart. It made it into the top 20 on pop and adult pop airplay charts.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the overall Country Songs chart, which mixes streaming with radio results, \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You\u201d debuts at No. 1, becoming her 10th topper there.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere are four country songs in the top 10 of the Hot 100 this week, with Swift\u2019s No. 1 entry being followed by three Ella Langley songs: \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d at No. 2, \u201cBe Her\u201d at No. 4 and \u201cI Can\u2019t Love You Anymore\u201d (a duet with Morgan Wallen) at No. 9.<\/p>\n

\n\tOther songs in the top 10 include Drake\u2019s \u201cJanice STFU\u201d at No. 3, Ariana Grande\u2019s \u201cHate That I Made You Love Me\u201d at No. 5, Bruno Mars\u2019 \u201cI Just Might\u201d at No. 6, two from Olivia Dean \u2014 \u201cMan I Need\u201d and \u201cSo Easy (to Fall in Love)\u201d \u2014 at Nos. 6 and 7, and Tame Impala and Jennie\u2019s \u201cDracula\u201d at No. 10.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere was less action to speak on the Billboard 200 album chart. Drake\u2019s \u201cIceman\u201d repeated at No. 1 for a fourth consecutive week, with 133,000 equivalent album units, a mild 22% drop from the prior week. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe top album debut was Malcolm Todd\u2019s \u201cDo That Again\u201d at No. 5 with 67,000 units. The only other album making the top 10 in its first week was Niall Horan\u2019s \u201cDinner Party\u201d at No. 7 with 55,000 units.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Billboard 200\u2019s top 10 was rounded out by Ella Langley\u2019s \u201cDandelion\u201d at No. 2 (with 87,000 more units, representing a very modest 7% drop), Morgan Wallen\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m the Problem\u201d at No. 3, Noah Kahan\u2019s \u201cThe Great Divide\u201d at No. 4, Michael Jackson\u2019s \u201cThriller\u201d at No. 6 and \u201cNumber Ones\u201d back to back at Nos. 6-7, Wallen again with \u201cOne Thing at a Time\u201d at No. 9 and Olivia Dean\u2019s \u201cThe Art of Loving\u201d reentering the top 10 at No. 10. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift\u2018s run as a true action figure on the charts continues as her \u201cToy Story 5\u201d song…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":501906,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[52630,93,214700,61,60,278,6543,65723],"class_list":["post-501905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-billboard-hot-100","tag-entertainment","tag-i-knew-it-i-knew-you","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music","tag-taylor-swift","tag-toy-story-5"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501905\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
