A Whole ‘Knew’ Worldwide No. 1: Taylor Swift Debuts Atop Billboard Global 200 Chart

Taylor Swift’s “I Knew It, I Knew You” launches as the biggest song in the world, as it debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200.

The single from Toy Story 5 is Swift’s seventh Global 200 leader, extending her mark for the most among soloists since the chart began in September 2020. Among all acts, BTS leads with eight No. 1s.

The song also starts at No. 3 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, where Ariana Grande’s “Hate That I Made You Love Me” holds at No. 1 a week after it debuted on top.

“I Knew It, I Knew You” drew 51.5 million streams and sold 91,000 downloads worldwide from its June 5 release through June 11, according to Luminate.

Here’s a recap of Swift’s Global 200 No. 1s:

“I Knew It, I Knew You,” one week at No. 1 to date, June 20, 2026
“The Fate of Ophelia,” seven weeks, beginning Oct. 18, 2025
“Fortnight,” feat. Post Malone, two, May 4, 2024
“Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” one, Nov. 11, 2023
“Cruel Summer,” one, Nov. 4, 2023
“Anti-Hero,” four, Nov. 5, 2022
“All Too Well (Taylor’s Version),” one, Nov. 27, 2021

Cel-ebration: “I Knew It, I Knew You” is the second Global 200 No. 1 from an animated Disney film, and the first from its Pixar studio, as well as Swift’s first from a movie. It follows the ensemble “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” from Encanto, in 2022. (On the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100, where Swift adds her 15th career leader, one other Disney theme has led: Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle’s “A Whole New World,” from Aladdin, in 1993.)

Toy Story 5 premieres wide in theaters June 19, following its June 9 Hollywood preview, at which Swift performed “I Knew It, I Knew You” live for the first time.

Grande’s “Hate That I Made You Love Me” dips to No. 2 in its second week on the Global 200; Drake’s “Janice STFU” drops 2-3 after spending its first two weeks on the chart at No. 1 beginning late last month; Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” falls 3-4, following a week on top earlier in May; and BTS’ “Swim” bobs steadily at No. 5 following four weeks at No. 1 in April.

“Hate That I Made You Love Me” tops Global Excl. U.S. with 38 million streams (down 6%) and 5,000 downloads sold (down 81%) outside the U.S. It’s Grande’s second song to lead for multiple weeks, following the two-week run for “Yes, And?” in 2024.

“Swim” holds at No. 2 after eight weeks atop Global Excl. U.S. since April; “I Knew It, I Knew You” debuts at No. 3; “Billie Jean” descends 3-4 after reaching No. 2; and Justin Bieber’s “Beauty and a Beat,” featuring Nicki Minaj, is down 4-5 after two weeks at No. 1 in May.
