We Don’t Talk About Bruno, the hit song from Disney’s animated feature Encanto, has hit the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Billboard announced the news late Monday, saying it’s only the second ever song from a Disney animated feature to top the chart after A Whole New World from Aladdin in 1994.

“We’re gonna be talking about this for a LONG time!” Disney Plus posted on Instagram Monday night. “Congratulations to Lin Manuel Miranda, the cast of Disney’s Encanto, and of course, Bruno, on landing at No. 1 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 with ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’!”

We Don’t Talk About Bruno, which was written by Lin Manuel Miranda of Hamilton and Disney’s animated feature Moana, has been streamed 34.9 million times in the US during the week of Jan. 21-27, Billboard said.
