Sam Fender and Olivia Dean’s duet “Rein Me In” makes UK chart history by becoming the longest-running British No. 1 single in Official Charts history. The song is reported to hold the top spot for its 16th week, extending its run beyond the previous record held by Wet Wet Wet’s 1994 chart-topper “Love Is All Around.” Multiple outlets describe the achievement as a record-breaking run that has stood for more than 30 years.
The coverage also notes that “Rein Me In” is approaching the all-time leader for total weeks at No. 1 in the UK chart, with one report stating it is two weeks behind the overall record. While the British-acts record is shared between the artists as a collaboration, the sources also reference Bryan Adams’ “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” as an all-time benchmark for consecutive weeks at No. 1. The reports present the chart success as ongoing, with the song continuing to rank at No. 1 as the milestone is announced, and frame it as a major achievement for both performers.
