Having been spotted together at her Eras Tour and his Kansas City Chiefs games, among other buzzy joint appearances, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce share space in a new locale this week: Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart.
Swift ranks at No. 7 on the radio airplay survey dated Dec. 7 with her former seven-week No. 1 “Cruel Summer” and No. 21 with “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” which rose to No. 14.
Concurrently, the Philly Specials jingle in at No. 30 with “It’s Christmas Time (In Cleveland Heights)” – featuring Boyz II Men and Kelce.

The couple previously got comfy together on two charts last year. For three weeks in November-December 2023, the Philly Specials’ “Fairytale of Philadelphia,” featuring Kelce, placed on Digital Song Sales alongside a combination of Swift’s “Cruel Summer,” “Karma” (featuring Ice Spice) and “You’re Losing Me (From the Vault).” Plus, “Fairytale of Philadelphia” and Swift’s “Christmas Tree Farm” both decorated the Holiday Digital Song Sales chart for a week in that span.
“It’s Christmas Time (In Cleveland Heights)” is from the Philly Specials’ LP A Philly Special Christmas Party, which debuts at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Holiday Albums chart with 33,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. Nov. 22-28, according to Luminate. The vocal trio – Philadelphia Eagles offensive linemen Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata and retired Eagle Jason Kelce, Travis’ brother – previously reached the chart’s top 10 with A Philly Special Christmas Special, which dashed in at its No. 8 high last December.
Boyz II Men, meanwhile, add their 10th Adult Contemporary chart hit, and first since 2008. They boast four top 10s, including the No. 1s “I’ll Make Love to You,” which led for three weeks in 1994-95, and “One Sweet Day,” with Mariah Carey (13 weeks, 1995-96).
