“Bruno” follows in the footsteps of “A Whole New World”, the theme song from Aladdin, as the second song from a Disney animated movie to top the Hot 100. “Breaking Free” from High School Musical and “Let It Go” from Frozen previously entered the top five, but never soared to no. 1.

Other songs from the Encanto soundtrack also found significant success on the charts, while the album itself topped the Billboard 200 for its third week. “Surface Pressure” is the highest-ranking song behind “Bruno” and it peaked at no. 9 this week.

The viral success of this song took everyone by surprise, from Disney executives to its sole writer Lin-Manuel Miranda, who scored his first no. 1 with this tune. Disney didn’t even submit it for award contention, opting for “Dos Oruguitas” instead because they couldn’t have predicted its crossover success. “Bruno” also topped the charts in the UK and entered the top ten in several countries, including Australia, Canada, and Ireland.

The clip shows the original cast which includes Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr., Daveed Diggs, Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Christopher Jackson, Anthony Ramos, Jonathon Groff, Okieriete Onaodowan, and Jasmine Cephas Jones performing to the opening number “Alexander Hamilton” as well as “Satisfied.”

The rap-inspired musical about founding father Alexander Hamilton’s life was supposed to be released in theaters on October 15, 2021, but last month, Disney moved up the release date.

Hamilton premiered on Broadway in 2015 and won 11 Tony Awards, including the best musical and a Pulitzer Prize for drama. Disney paid $75 million for the rights to the musical.

Miranda took to Twitter Monday to announce that Hamilton is heading to cinemas featuring the acclaimed original cast. The movie release has been set for a 2021 fall release. 

And a Hamilton film featuring the original cast was just the opportunity Miranda was looking for. “What I’m most excited about [is] you all have that friend that is like, ‘I saw it with the original cast.’ We’re stealing that brag from everyone because you’re all going to see it with the original cast,” he told Variety at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. “We’re just trying to find the right time to do it.”

The process of turning the stage to a film consisted of shooting three live performances, as well as some set-up shots without an audience, all of which was used to create multiple angles to ensure a full cinematic experience. 

Hamilton will hit theaters October 15, 2021.
