Taylor Swift Extends Her Record With 16th Pop Airplay Chart No. 1, ‘I Knew It, I Knew You’

Taylor Swift has achieved a record-extending 16th No. 1 on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart with her song "I Knew It, I Knew You." The track climbed two spots to claim the top position on the Sept. 26 list. Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber are tied for second place with 13 Pop Airplay No. 1s each, followed by Ariana Grande, Maroon 5, Katy Perry, and Rihanna, all with 11.

The Pop Airplay chart, which measures weekly song plays on about 150 U.S. mainstream top 40 radio stations, began in October 1992. Swift's "I Knew It, I Knew You" is the title track from the film "Toy Story 5" and is inspired by the movie's cowgirl character, Jessie. Since its June debut, the song has become Swift's ninth No. 1 on the Hot 100, her 10th No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart, and the first No. 1 from an animated Disney movie.

The single has also reached No. 2 on Country Airplay and No. 7 on Adult Contemporary, further extending Swift's total of 19 and 23 top 10s at the respective formats.
