Taylor Swift’s new single, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” debuted on charts all around the world last week, and in many territories, it became an instant No. 1. The track, featured in Toy Story 5 – which itself only recently became a box office smash – continues to rule multiple rosters, including several important tallies in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
As “I Knew It, I Knew You” refuses to budge from the summit of the Official Singles chart, the U.K.’s rundown of the most popular tunes in that nation, the cut pushes past several other Swift rulers and becomes a somewhat uncommon multi-week winner.
Taylor Swift Holds at No. 1 With “I Knew It, I Knew You”
After launching atop the Official Singles chart only a few days ago, “I Knew It, I Knew You” manages to hold on to its control over the roster. The Official Singles chart, the most important songs ranking in the U.K., details the most-consumed compositions in that nation. Streams and sales help a title rise or fall or debut in lofty positions, and once again, Swift is in charge.
Taylor Swift Scores a Rare Multi-Week Winner
Last week, “I Knew It, I Knew You” became Swift’s seventh career leader on the Official Singles chart. As it holds in first place, it is just the fourth cut by the Grammy winner to occupy the uppermost space on the tally more than once.
With two weeks at No. 1 already to its credit, “I Knew It, I Knew You” is tied as Swift’s third-longest-ruling smash in the U.K. It is currently on the same level as “Look What You Made Me Do,” which also spent just a pair of frames dominating nearly a decade ago.
One of Swift’s most recent champions, “The Fate of Ophelia,” the lead single from her 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl, stands out as her track with the most time spent at No. 1. “The Fate of Ophelia” racked up an impressive seven stints atop the Official Singles rundown. That’s just one more than “Anti-Hero,” which held on for half a dozen beginning in the fall of 2022.
Taylor Swift Has Seen Three Songs Spend One Week at No. 1
Three of Swift’s seven No. 1s on the Official Singles chart have only earned one stay in the penthouse. “Fortnight,” a collaboration with Post Malone, which led her album The Tortured Poets Department, “Opalite,” the second single from The Life of a Showgirl, and “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version),” which was featured on the re-release of 1989, all slipped from the summit after hitting No. 1 and holding there for only a matter of days.
“I Knew It, I Knew You” Leads Three Lists in the U.K.
At the moment, “I Knew It, I Knew You” can be found on five charts in the U.K., and it is steady at No. 1 on three of them. In addition to the Official Singles ranking, “I Knew It, I Knew You” also commands both the Official Singles Sales and Official Physical Singles rundowns.
“I Knew It, I Knew You” steps back from the top spot to No. 3 on the Official Singles Downloads chart, and it simultaneously drops outside the top 10 entirely, falling from No. 2 to No. 14, on the ranking of the most-played compositions on streaming platforms in the U.K.

As “I Knew It, I Knew You” rules the Official Singles chart, Swift blocks another one of the most successful female singer-songwriters of this era from nabbing another leader. Olivia Rodrigo’s “Stupid Song,” the third official single from her brand new full-length You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, misses out on conquering the Official Singles tally by just one space. It is the second tune from the project to do so, as “The Cure,” the second single from the album – which itself leads every roster on which it appears in the U.K. – topped out at No. 2, and this frame, it climbs to No. 3.
