Ooh, bet you’re thinking, she’s so cool about Gracie Abrams, who just scored her first-ever top 10 entry on the Billboard Hot 100 with her runaway hit “That’s So True.”
As revealed Monday (Nov. 18), the 25-year-old singer-songwriter’s The Secret of Us deluxe track has reached a new peak at No. 6, a full seven spots up from its previous apex at No. 13 the week prior. Released Oct. 18 alongside three other bonus songs from her June sophomore LP, the jealousy-riddled post-breakup anthem first entered the chart at No. 44 on the Hot 100 dated Nov. 2.
Shortly after news of her top 10 debut went live, Abrams shared her gratitude on Instagram Stories. “First top ten on the Hot 100,” she wrote, typing out about 28 sobbing emojis and 18 red hearts. “THANK YOU FOR LISTENING”

The Los Angeles native also showed her disbelief with a keyboard smash — “Agdgdhebfnsnchsjhfehdnmsydywgeyyeys” — and reposted cowriter Audrey Hobert’s reaction, “WHAT ON GODS GREEN.” “No like,” Abrams agreed.
In addition to No. 6 on the Hot 100, “That’s So True” also reaches No. 4 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart. Since it dropped, the track has blown past Abrams’ other Hot 100 high points with The Secret of Us‘ “Risk” and “I Love You, I’m Sorry,” which reached Nos. 94 and 19, respectively.
Before “That’s So True,” the pop songwriter’s biggest hit on the Hot 100 was “Us.,” a duet written and recorded with Taylor Swift for The Secret of Us. Bowing at No. 36 in July, the ballad recently nabbed Abrams her second-ever Grammy nomination (for best pop duo/group performance) and has become a staple of her setlists on The Secret of Us Tour and as an opener on the Eras Tour.
“This album has meant so much to me because it has supported me through a period of transitions,” Abrams told Billboard over the summer. “I’ve learned about how I like to spend my time, about what works for me or doesn’t in relationships, about how having friends is ultimately the priority for me. I don’t need to know who I want to wake up next to every day, but I know that I want to be there for every chapter of my friends’ lives.”
“I’m learning every five seconds,” she added at the time. “We’ll have to find out what it all turns into, but that’s me today.”
