Sam Fender, Olivia Dean Break UK Chart Record

Sam Fender and Olivia Dean's duet "Rein Me In" achieved a new UK singles chart record for a British act by spending its 16th week at number one. This accomplishment surpasses the 15-week run of Wet Wet Wet's "Love Is All Around" in the summer of 1994, which was featured on the "Four Weddings and a Funeral" soundtrack. However, "Rein Me In" did not maintain a consecutive streak at the top spot, having re-entered the number one position multiple times since February. The current record for the longest consecutive run at number one by any artist in the UK singles chart is held by Frankie Laine, whose song "I Believe" stayed at number one for 19 weeks in 1953. Fender and Dean's collaboration has now set a new benchmark for British artists in terms of total weeks at number one with a single track.
