Sam Fender & Olivia Dean’s ‘Rein Me In’ Scores Record-Extending 21st Week at No. 1
The pair boasts the all time record for the U.K.'s longest-running No. 1 single.
Sam Fender and Olivia Dean's "Rein Me In" has secured a record-breaking 21st week atop the U.K.'s Official Singles Chart, extending their unprecedented streak. The song surpassed the previous record set by Frankie Lane in 1953, who held the No. 1 spot for 18 weeks with "I Believe." This achievement has toppled numerous records, making "Rein Me In" the longest-running No. 1 of the 21st century and the longest-running ever by a British act, surpassing Drake's "One Dance" (2016) and Wet Wet Wet's "Love Is All Around" (1995).
The track has peaked at No. 64 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was performed by the duo at Dean's Lollapalooza headlining set on August 1. In the Global 200, Shakira and Burna Boy's FIFA World Cup anthem "Dai Dai" holds the No. 2 spot, while Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" rises to No. 3. Hugel, Imael Angel and Ultra Naté's "Movin' to the Sun" peaks at No. 4, followed by Olivia Rodrigo's "Stupid Song" at No. 5.
Stella Lefty's "Boston" reaches No. 9, and Malcolm Todd, Alyssa Grace, Temper City, and Audrey Hobert also experience career-high positions. Additionally, Tame Impala and Steve Lacy enjoy boosts following their placements in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
