Taylor Swift's single, "I Knew It, I Knew You," has maintained its top position on the Billboard Hot 100 for a second consecutive week.

The track, which is featured on the soundtrack for *Toy Story 5* and draws inspiration from the film's character Jessie, previously debuted as Swift's 15th career No.

1 hit.

This achievement places her third in the chart's history for most No.

1s, behind only The Beatles, who have 20, and Mariah Carey, with 19.

The song's success coincides with the release of *Toy Story 5* and its official soundtrack.

The film itself opened to an estimated $160 million in domestic ticket sales, marking a new record for the franchise, which began in 1995, and the biggest opening weekend of 2026.

In related chart news, Olivia Rodrigo has secured four songs within the Hot 100's top 10.

These tracks are all from her new album, *you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love*, which has also debuted as her third No.

1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

This indicates a strong performance for both artists on the current music charts.

streaming data, including official audio and video, radio airplay, and sales data.

Sales metrics include purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers, while digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer sites are not included in the calculations.
