Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco just did that – their joint album I Said I Love You First dropped, and within hours, it was already sitting at the top of the US iTunes chart.
No big promo blitz, no over-the-top rollout – just heartfelt music that clearly hit home.
And fans? They’re loving it.
Straight to the Top
The album’s launch was quiet but mighty. Almost as soon as it went live, I Said I Love You First climbed its way to #1 on US iTunes. It’s the kind of instant success most artists dream of, but it’s not surprising when you look at what the project represents: a real-life relationship turned into art.
A Personal Playlist
This isn’t just a collection of catchy love songs. Gomez and Blanco poured a lot of themselves into it – emotionally, lyrically, and even visually.
The standout track right now is “Younger and Hotter Than Me,” which dropped with a music video that’s already trending. The video plays like a low-key date night: cheeky, sweet, and 100% genuine. Think candid kitchen dancing, cozy lighting, and the kind of inside jokes that only couples share.
It’s got all the vibes of a real relationship without feeling overly polished.
Fans Are Here for It
Online, the energy is full-on celebration. From unboxing signed vinyls to posting reaction videos, the fanbase is locked in. Some lucky fans who pre-ordered even got signed physical copies – something that instantly became a prized keepsake.
There’s also been an outpouring of support from fellow artists and industry insiders, with everyone from Gracie Abrams to Charli XCX reposting their favorite tracks.
Selena’s Comeback, Blanco’s Spotlight
For Selena Gomez, this album marks a proper return to the music spotlight. While she’s been busy with acting and producing (hello, Only Murders in the Building), I Said I Love You First is her first big music release in a while – and it shows a different side of her.
As for Benny Blanco, he’s been behind the scenes producing hits for years, but this time, he’s front and center. And honestly? It suits him. His production is tight, but his vocals and writing are what have people paying attention.
What’s Next?
No tour dates yet, but if this momentum keeps up, don’t be shocked if a joint tour gets announced. For now, the duo is riding the high of a successful drop – and they’ve earned it.
Tracklist Highlights to Check Out:
- “Younger and Hotter Than Me”
- “Call Me When You Break Up” (feat. Gracie Abrams)
