  • Sam Fender and Olivia Dean tie with Wet Wet Wet’s Number One record with ‘Reign Me In’

    ‘Rein Me In‘ Soars to New Heights, Tying Historic UK Chart Records

    The track Rein Me In by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean has cemented its place as a fan-favourite, not just for its catchy melody, but for its remarkable chart performance. The song has tied with Wet Wet Wet’s classic ‘Love Is All Around’ for the longest run at the number one spot on the UK Singles Chart, marking a significant milestone for British music.

    This success follows a period of major achievements for Fender himself, who recently secured the BRIT Award for Song Of The Year and broke a personal record by achieving his first ever Number One single. The momentum carried by ‘Rein Me In’ has established it as a true cultural touchstone.

    The song’s trajectory on the charts is truly impressive. It holds the distinction of being the British single to spend the most consecutive weeks in the Top 40 before reaching the peak, and it has spent 15 non-consecutive weeks at number one. This sustained presence demonstrates incredible public connection and enduring appeal.

    Furthermore, the success of ‘Rein Me In’ places it among the greatest charting singles in UK history. The track has achieved the joint highest number of weeks in the Top Ten for any non-Christmas single, clocking in at an impressive 37 weeks—leveling with Harry Styles’ ‘As It Was’. This is a testament to how this particular song resonated across demographics.

    The creative partnership between Fender and Dean added another layer of depth to the track. Originally featured on Fender’s album People Watching, ‘Rein Me In’ found new life when the duo performed it together live at Fender’s massive London Stadium gig last year, bringing the duet to an audience of 80,000.

    The collaboration was further celebrated through subsequent performances, including joint shows at Newcastle’s St. James’ Park, solidifying their connection with the fanbase. They officially released the duet later in the year, allowing the song to reach even wider audiences.

    Sam Fender’s songwriting talent has been widely recognized; he was recently awarded the Songwriter of the Year prize at the Ivor Novello Awards, an honour presented by Elton John, who praised Fender as “one of the greatest lyricists Britain has ever produced.”

    This celebration of chart success and creative synergy highlights how ‘Rein Me In’ has managed to blend raw emotional depth with commercial triumph. It remains a powerful example of music that connects deeply with listeners, setting new benchmarks for what a British single can achieve.
