Swift's 16th Pop Airplay No. 1

Taylor Swift's "I Knew It, I Knew You" climbs two spots to No. 1 on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart dated Sept. 26, giving Swift her record-extending 16th leader on the ranking. The song, drawn from Toy Story 5 and inspired by the film's cowgirl character Jessie, tallies a single week atop the chart so far, with the list tracking weekly plays tabulated by Mediabase and provided to Billboard by Luminate across nearly 150 U.S. mainstream top 40 radio stations.

Longevity Lead And All-Time Roster

The latest No. 1 also extends Swift's total to 52 weeks atop Pop Airplay across all her leaders, a mark she previously pushed past Katy Perry's 47 weeks during the run of "The Fate of Ophelia." Among the all-time leaders, Bruno Mars ranks second with 13 Pop Airplay No. 1s, followed by Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Maroon 5, Katy Perry and Rihanna, each with 11, on a chart that launched in October 1992.

Cross-Format Reach For 'I Knew It, I Knew You'

"I Knew It, I Knew You" continues to register across Billboard's airplay rankings. The single had previously become Swift's ninth No. 1 on the all-format Radio Songs chart and her record-furthering 16th leader on Adult Pop Airplay, while reaching No. 2 on Country Airplay after a top 10 launch and No. 7 on Adult Contemporary, lifting her career top 10 totals to 19 and 23 at those formats, respectively. Earlier in June, the song also opened as Swift's 15th No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the third leader on that list ever from an animated Disney movie and the first from Pixar, as well as her 10th No. 1 on Hot Country Songs.
