By Adrian Cole

The 'Toy Story 5' soundtrack has reached a new pinnacle on the Billboard 200, debuting at No. 67, the highest position ever for the franchise. This surpasses previous peaks of No. 94 for the original 'Toy Story' soundtrack and lower rankings for its sequels.

The soundtrack also claimed the No. 1 spot on the Kid Albums chart, marking composer Randy Newman's first No. 1 on this tally. It ranked No. 2 on the Soundtracks chart, just behind 'KPop Demon Hunters'.

Taylor Swift's original song, 'I Knew It, I Knew You,' featured as the lead single, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, maintaining that position for two weeks. The single achieved 27.2 million streams, 46.7 million radio impressions, and 87,000 sales in its first week.

Swift, who co-wrote and co-produced the track with Jack Antonoff, completed the song in a single day after an early screening of the film.
