There’s a new No. 1 song in America this week, and it’s a very special one, at least for the two musicians involved. Musicians Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves debut their collaboration “I Remember Everything” atop the tally of the most-consumed tracks in the U.S. The new leader is especially meaningful to the songwriters, as it marks the first trip to the summit for both stars.
“I Remember Everything” arrives at No. 1 on the Hot 100 thanks to both strong sales and streaming support. The tune performed best on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, where it earned 33.7 million streams. That’s enough to make it the most-streamed track in America this frame, according to Billboard.
The track also starts with 10,000 copies sold. That’s enough to place “I Remember Everything” at No. 4 on the Digital Song Sales chart, making it one of the top-selling tunes in the U.S. “I Remember Everything” also reached several hundred thousand people via radio, though the third consumption format that factors into the Hot 100 wasn’t a major player in the cut’s success.
Impressively, “I Remember Everything” marks Musgraves’s first top 10 on the Hot 100. In fact, it’s her first track to break into the upper half of the chart. For his part, Bryan has earned one previous top 10 placement, as his song “Something in the Orange” once peaked at No. 10 earlier this year.
“I Remember Everything” isn’t the only No. 1 for Bryan this week. The track serves as the biggest hit from his new self-titled album. That set also opens at No. 1 on its respective tally, the Billboard 200. Bryan is now one of the very few musicians to collect his first No. 1 on the two most important Billboard charts at the same time. It’s not often that any artist reaches the summit on both tallies simultaneously, and it’s even rarer for it to happen for the first time at once.
Bryan and Musgraves replace two-week ruler “Rich Men North of Richmond” by Oliver Anthony atop the Hot 100. That single also debuted in first place, making a star of the newcomer instantaneously.
