Zedd, "I Want You to Know," featuring Selena Gomez
Marking his latest high-profile hit team-up, Zedd's "I Want You to Know," featuring his rumored girlfriend Gomez on vocals, soars onto the Hot 100 at No. 17. Following its first full week of availability, the dance/pop track, which Zedd co-wrote with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, and Kevin Drew, launches with nearly two-thirds of its activity from sales, as it enters Digital Songs at No. 7 with 100,000 downloads sold, according to Nielsen Music. It also debuts at No. 1 on Billboard + Twitter Top Twitter Tracks and blasts 9-1 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs. The single introduces Zedd's forthcoming second full-length album.
"Know" arrives as Zedd's fourth top 20 Hot 100 hit in as many tries: the DJ (born Anton Zaslavski), 25, reached No. 8 with "Clarity" (featuring Foxes) in 2013. In 2014, "Stay the Night" (featuring Hayley Williams) rose to No. 18 and Ariana Grande's "Break Free," on which Zedd is featured, roared to No. 4.
"The first time I heard 'I Want You to Know' I felt strongly that it was going to be another 'Clarity' or 'Break Free,' like … instantly," says WBBM Chicago assistant PD/music director Erik Bradley. "It feels like another career-defining hit for Zedd."
