'@selenagomez & @itsbennyblanco I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH,' Swift wrote, sharing a screenshot of the album on Spotify along with a link to purchase the set.
I Said I Love You First includes previously released songs such as 'Scared of Loving You,' 'Sunset Blvd,' 'Younger and Hotter Than Me' and 'Call Me When You Break Up,' featuring Gracie Abrams. The full tracklist also features 'Ojos Tristes,' 'Don't Wanna Cry,' 'Cowboy,' 'Bluest Flame,' 'How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten,' 'Do You Wanna Be Perfect,' 'You Said You Were Sorry,' 'I Can't Get Enough' and 'Don't Take It Personally.'
Leading up to the album, Gomez spoke about working with her fiancé in an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, sharing, 'It just felt like it was a little taste of what we are and how we made this together, and how much we loved it and how much we love each other. And it just felt like it was meant to be.'
The couple began dating in June 2023 and got engaged late last year. Gomez shared the happy news with a Dec. 11 Instagram carousel featuring her marquise-cut engagement ring, along with the caption, 'forever begins now.'
Gomez has also opened up about sharing her music with Swift. In 2019, she recalled showing her first Hot 100 No. 1 hit, 'Lose You to Love Me,' to her pop superstar bestie, noting that it brought both her and her mother, Andrea Swift, to tears.
'It's gonna make me cry thinking about it,' Gomez said. 'Because it wasn't just about how great the song was, which is a lot coming from her, it was just that they had been on that journey with me, intimately. And they were crying because of how proud they were for me stepping into a whole new era of my life, and it not involving the horrible things, the abuse, the emotional chaos, it felt like I had a huge sigh of relief.'

Ariana Grande's Duets With One Fellow Star Help Her Surge Globally
Ariana Grande is only a few months removed from re-releasing her album Eternal Sunshine as a deluxe edition titled Brighter Days Ahead, which includes several new cuts — among them her latest single, 'Twilight Zone.' While that tune continues to connect with listeners in the United States, a trio of Grande's hits are climbing on Billboard's two global rankings. Ariana Grande Claims Four Global Hits Grande currently occupies three spaces on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, with two-thirds of those smashes coming from her working relationship with frequent collaborator The Weeknd. Her biggest worldwide success at the moment, 'Save Your Tears' with The Weeknd, rises from No. 86 to No. 73 on the Billboard Global 200. On the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, it jumps 16 spots to No. 60. Another joint hit with The Weeknd, 'Die for You,' is also on the move. On the Billboard Global 200, it surges more than 20 spots, while on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, it creeps up three spaces. The track began as a solo single for The Weeknd before receiving a lift from Grande's remix. 'We Can't Be Friends' Continues to Climb Grande's own 'We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)' is also rising. Last frame, it sat at No. 196 on both global tallies. It now improves to No. 180 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 181 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Ariana Grande's Global No. 1s Both 'Save Your Tears' and 'We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)' have ruled the Billboard Global 200, with the latter also topping the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. 'Die for You' previously reached the top three on both lists. All three tracks have now spent at least a year on the global rankings, with 'Save Your Tears' having already passed 200 weeks, making it one of the longest-charting tunes on the worldwide roster. 'Twilight Zone' Keeps Rising In the U.S., 'Twilight Zone' continues its upward trajectory. The track hits a new peak of No. 21 on Billboard's Radio Songs chart and returns to its high point of No. 5 on the Pop Airplay list. The catchy, low-key pop tune holds steady at No. 29 on the Adult Pop Airplay ranking, dips slightly from No. 20 to No. 21 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, and climbs on the Hot 100 from No. 81 to No. 70.

Alice Cooper Reaches The Top 10 For The First Time In His Career
Decades into his career, Alice Cooper is still making noise, and his fans are still listening. Over the years, he's released music both as a soloist and as the leader of a band that shares his name. Now, that original group is back together for The Revenge of Alice Cooper, which opens inside the top 10 on multiple Billboard charts and brings the rock icon to a new all-time peak. Alice Cooper's First Top 10 Vinyl Album The Revenge of Alice Cooper launches at No. 6 on the Vinyl Albums chart this week. As the set debuts, it becomes Cooper's first top 10 on the tally. His previous high point was No. 16, which he reached with Paranormal in August 2017. So far, Cooper has sent six titles to the Vinyl Albums ranking throughout his lengthy career. All but one of those sets have reached the top 20, and each has only managed a single frame on the list. Fifth-Highest Vinyl Album Debut of the Week This frame, The Revenge of Alice Cooper earns the fifth-highest debut on the Vinyl Albums chart, coming in behind Snipe Hunter by Tyler Childers (No. 1), Alfredo II by Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist (No. 2), Vanisher, Horizon Scraper by Quadeca (No. 4), and She Hangs Brightly by Mazzy Star (No. 5). It also finishes ahead of other new releases from Michael Clifford of 5 Seconds of Summer and Beck. Alice Cooper Lands on Six Billboard Charts The Revenge of Alice Cooper appears on six Billboard tallies in its opening week, landing inside the top 10 on half of them. Alongside its showing on Vinyl Albums, the title also debuts at No. 6 on the Top Album Sales list and No. 5 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart. It arrives at No. 14 on the Top Rock Albums ranking, No. 16 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums tally, and No. 72 on the all-genre Billboard 200 — its lowest position of the bunch. According to Luminate, The Revenge of Alice Cooper starts with 13,650 equivalent units, with nearly all coming from pure sales.

Morgan Wallen Breaks Tie With Drake With His Historic No. 1 Streak
Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem is already one of the biggest albums of the year in the United States, and it's still just getting started. The behemoth is steady at No. 1 yet again on the nation's main albums ranking, which is not unusual, and may be the case for weeks or even months to come. As the country superstar earns another stay atop the list of the most consumed albums and EPs in the U.S., he makes history and breaks out of a tie with several superstars. Morgan Wallen Makes Chart History Between Wallen's three albums that have reached No. 1 on the all-genre albums list, he has now spent 38 cumulative weeks at the top. The Grammy nominee now solely claims the fifth-most frames in history at No. 1, according to Billboard. Morgan Wallen Breaks Tie With Drake Last week, Wallen claimed the fifth-most weeks at No. 1, but he wasn't alone in the feat. He was tied with both Harry Belafonte and Drake, who have each dominated for 37 weeks. Now, those two have been pushed down on the all-time list, although perhaps not for long. Drake is currently working on a new album titled Iceman, and several singles have already been shared from the project. That full-length could arrive later this year, at which point it will almost certainly debut at No. 1 and help Drake along — though by then, Wallen will likely have added to his total as well. Morgan Wallen Closing in on Elton John Among solo male acts, Elvis Presley continues to lead with 67 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 between all of his champions. Garth Brooks comes next with 52, Michael Jackson sits in third place with 51, and Elton John is just one frame ahead of Wallen with 39. Since I'm the Problem is still performing so well, there's a good chance Wallen will match John next time around, and then perhaps surpass him shortly after. I'm the Problem Outsells Competitors by 50,000 Units I'm the Problem is still far and away the most successful album in America, despite having been out for months. In the most recent tracking frame, the set shifted 143,000 equivalent units, according to Luminate. It wins the week by 50,000 units, as the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack stays at No. 2 with more than 93,000 equivalent copies. Morgan Wallen's History of No. 1 Albums Wallen has sent five projects to the all-genre albums chart, three of which have led the charge. He first conquered in January 2021 with Dangerous: The Double Album, which ended up ruling for 10 weeks. One Thing at a Time hit No. 1 in March 2023 and spent 19 weeks in charge. I'm the Problem will likely tie Dangerous in a week and then pass it, as the project may rule for much of 2025.
