Alex Warren named US male artist with longest-running UK number one single
His hit song Ordinary has also reached new heights to be named the longest-running number one single of the 2020s, beating Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits in 2021, according to the Official Charts Company. The singer-songwriter scored his 12th week at the top of the leaderboard making him the US male solo artist with the most consecutive weeks at number one. He beats the late American country singer Slim Whitman who achieved 11 consecutive weeks in 1955 with Rose Marie. According to the Official Charts Company, Californian Warren's hit song Ordinary has had 107 million streams with a total of 920,000 chart sales since it first entered the charts in February. Martin Talbot of the Official Charts Company said: 'There's nothing 'ordinary' about Alex Warren's impact on 2025, with his smash hit single setting new records with ease. 'Usurping Ed Sheeran is one thing, but taking a chart record away from Slim Whitman after 70 years is simply astonishing.' Following Warren in the UK singles charts is US singer Ravyn Lenae who jumped ahead of Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club and is now at number two with her song Love Me Not. At number four is Sombr's Undressed followed by south-east London singer-songwriter Skye Newman whose second single Family Matters has granted her a place in the top five for the first time. Meanwhile, in the album charts, Ed Sheeran's +–=÷× (Tour Collection) remains at number one for a second non-consecutive week. Ahead of her headlining slot at Barcelona's Primavera Festival, Espresso singer, Sabrina Carpenter, who released a new single, Manchild, on Friday, remains in the top five album charts for the 41st week with Short N' Sweet. Carpenter, is joined in the top five by Miley Cyrus with her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, which reached number three on the charts.
