Sam Fender and Olivia Dean have set a new record on the U.K.'s Official Singles Chart with their collaboration, "Rein Me In."
The song, a new version of a track from Fender's 2025 album People Watching, has now spent 19 weeks at No. 1, making it the longest-running chart-topper in the history of the U.K.'s Official Singles Chart.
The previous record of 18 weeks was set in 1953 by Frankie Laine's "I Believe."
"Completely lost for words, thank you so much to Olivia Dean and the fans for making this song the juggernaut that it is," Fender tells Official Charts. "Can't believe we broke the UK record!"
The collaborative version of "Rein Me In" is featured on the deluxe edition of People Watching. The song currently sits at No. 25 on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart.
