Taylor Swift's 'I Knew It, I Knew You' Tops Billboard's Movie Songs Chart for a Second Month
Taylor Swift's "I Knew It, I Knew You," from the Toy Story 5 soundtrack, has held the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Top Movie Songs chart for July 2026 — its second consecutive month atop the ranking. The song earned 82.5 million official streams and sold 16,000 downloads in the United States during the month, according to Luminate, the data firm that powers Billboard's charts. Billboard
Swift released the song and its music video on June 5, 2026, two weeks before Toy Story 5 premiered in cinemas on June 19. The track debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — the weekly singles chart that ranks the biggest songs in the US by a blend of streaming, radio airplay and sales — and led that chart for two weeks in June. It spent all of July at No. 2 and sits at No. 3 on the Hot 100 dated 29 August.
Beyond the Hot 100, "I Knew It, I Knew You" became Swift's 16th No. 1 on Billboard's Adult Pop Airplay chart, a radio-based ranking of the most-played songs at adult pop-formatted stations across the US. That set a new record for the most leaders by a single artist on that particular chart. Billboard
The Top Movie Songs chart, which ranks tracks from films by their streaming and sales activity, saw a reshuffle in July following the departure of music from the Michael Jackson biopic Michael after three months of the film's release. With those songs no longer eligible, new entries moved into the upper reaches.
Benson Boone's "Beautiful Things" placed No. 2 on the July chart, with 52.6 million streams and 4,000 downloads. Robyn's "Dancing on My Own" — a song originally released in 2010, revived by a new film placement — took No. 3, earning 16.1 million streams and 10,000 downloads, and entered the Billboard Global 200, which tracks worldwide song consumption, at No. 176.
The rest of the July top 10 drew heavily from a cluster of summer film soundtracks. The Devil Wears Prada 2 contributed four entries: Sienna Spiro's "Material Lover" at No. 4, SZA's "Saturn" at No. 6, and Lady Gaga and Doechii's "Runway" at No. 8. Voicemails for Isabelle supplied two: Usher's "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)" at No. 5 and BORNS's "Electric Love" at No. 7. Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker's "Perfect Princess," from Descendants: Wicked Wonderland, landed at No. 9, and Scotty McCreery's "Five More Minutes," from The Dink, rounded out the list at No. 10.
For Swift, the July chart result keeps a song tied to a family animated franchise alongside the year's biggest pop releases — a soundtrack cut with the legs of a standalone single.
