Taylor Swift Nearly Ties One Of Rihanna’s Greatest Chart Records
Taylor Swift’s “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 reaches the top 10 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart, giving the superstar her twenty-ninth hit in the region. She is now just one top 10 win away from tying Rihanna’s all-time record on the ranking. Swift already holds the mark for the most No. 1s, with 15.
Earlier this summer, Taylor Swift released “I Knew It, I Knew You,” a new single she wrote and recorded for Toy Story 5. The track immediately became another smash for the superstar – as does everything she shares – and it also helped the movie’s soundtrack reach lofty positions on several Billboard charts. The film itself became a box-office success, and in the coming months, the tune could earn Swift new Grammy nominations and perhaps even a coveted Academy Award nod for Best Original Song.
“I Knew It, I Knew You” follows The Life of a Showgirl, Swift’s most recent album, which arrived in fall 2025. Three singles from the project – “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Opalite” and “Elizabeth Taylor” – were promoted to pop radio and became major hits. Her latest cut has been pushed to both pop and country stations, and this frame, it earns Swift yet another top 10 on one of the most competitive airplay tallies in America. As it climbs, the cut brings her within striking distance of an all-time record.
“I Knew It, I Knew You” climbs from No. 12 to No. 9 on this week’s Pop Airplay chart. It took only a month for Swift’s latest single to break into the highest tier on the roster that focuses on the songs that play to the largest audiences on mainstream top 40 radio stations throughout the U.S.
“I Knew It, I Knew You” becomes Swift’s twenty-ninth top 10 on the Pop Airplay chart, nearly 20 years after she began collecting hits on the roster. The superstar is now only one top 10 away from tying Rihanna’s all-time record on the Pop Airplay chart. The Barbadian musician has pushed 30 songs into the competitive region, more than any other artist in the tally’s history.
Here are all of Taylor Swift’s top 10 hits on the Pop Airplay chart.
While Swift trails Rihanna when looking at total top 10s, she already claims the most No. 1s in the history of the Pop Airplay chart. The singer-songwriter has ruled with 15 tunes. That’s three more than Bruno Mars, who sits in second place with a dozen.
Swift scored another leader earlier this year with “Opalite,” which spent three weeks at No. 1 beginning in February. “The Fate of Ophelia,” the first single from The Life of a Showgirl, also conquered the tally and held on for a month beginning last November. “I Knew It, I Knew You” may eventually become Swift’s record-extending sixteenth champion.
Swift’s single establishes new highs on two of Billboard’s three pop-focused radio charts this frame. In addition to entering the Pop Airplay ranking’s top 10, “I Knew It, I Knew You” ascends from No. 7 to No. 5 on the Adult Pop Airplay tally.
On the Adult Contemporary ranking, the track holds at No. 9, matching the peak it reached last week. It is also steady at No. 5 on the Radio Songs rundown, the genre-agnostic chart that measures audience impressions across every format throughout the country.
“I Knew It, I Knew You” is the first Swift single promoted to country radio in years, following her highly successful pivot to pop music. The cut already reached No. 8 on the Country Airplay chart, as stations throughout the nation were quick to put it into heavy rotation the moment the Toy Story 5 cut became available.
“Elizabeth Taylor” lives on two of the three pop radio rankings published by Billboard. The current Life of a Showgirl single barely hangs on to the Adult Pop Airplay chart, lifting one space to No. 35. The roster only features 40 spaces, but the track has already reached the top 10.
The same single performs much better on the Adult Contemporary list, where it climbs from No. 14 to a new peak position of No. 10. “Elizabeth Taylor” becomes Swift’s twenty-third top 10 on that ranking.
The Grammy winner has a long way to go before she joins the most successful acts on the AC list. Elton John remains the all-time leader on the Adult Contemporary chart, with 42 top 10 hits included in his catalog.
