Sam Fender & Olivia Dean’s ‘Rein Me In’ Is U.K.’s No. 1 Single for 17th Week, Now 2nd on All-Time List
Sam Fender and Olivia Dean's 'Rein Me In' has extended its United Kingdom chart dominance to 17 weeks at the top position, elevating the track's historical standing within chart records. The single now ranks as the second-most successful single in terms of weeks spent at No. 1 on the Official Charts, superseding Bryan Adams' 1991 achievement whilst remaining behind only Frankie Laine's 1953 record for the all-time record.
The track's continued chart leadership underscores its prominence as the defining No. 1 single of the 2020s and 21st century era. Chart activity this week was further shaped by football's cultural impact, as Oasis' 'Wonderwall' experienced renewed momentum following its adoption as an unofficial anthem during England's World Cup campaign, with other sports-themed songs also gaining traction among listeners revisiting music associated with the tournament.
