Sam Fender与Olivia Dean的合作单曲《Rein Me In》以19周的成绩成为英国历史上运行时间最长的No 1单曲,打破了自1953年以来由Frankie Laine的《I Believe》保持的18周纪录[1]。这首歌于2025年6月发行,在经过36周后才登上排行榜榜首[1]。之后该歌曲在榜单顶端有所浮动但多次回到No 1[1]。
此前保持较长运行时间的No 1单曲还包括Bryan Adams的《(Everything I Do) I Do It For You》(16周,1991年)和Wet Wet Wet的《Love is All Around》(15周,1994年)[1]。该歌曲成功规避了2017年推出的"加速衰落"规则的影响[1]。
Sam Fender表示:"completely lost for words. Thank you so much to Olivia Dean and the fans for making this song the juggernaut that it is."[1]英国音乐行业贸易协会首席执行官Jo Twist评价这一成就为"a truly remarkable feat"[1]。《Rein Me In》随后在2026年英国音乐奖赢得年度歌曲奖[1]。
Sam Fender and Olivia Dean's collaborative single "Rein Me In" has achieved a historic milestone in British music chart history. The track has spent 19 weeks at number one on the UK singles chart, surpassing the previous record of 18 weeks held by Frankie Laine's "I Believe" since 1953.[1] Released in June 2025, the song took 36 weeks to reach the top position before establishing its extended reign at number one.[1]
The achievement marks a significant moment in modern chart history, following other notable long-running number ones, including Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You," which held the position for 16 weeks in 1991, and Wet Wet Wet's "Love is All Around," which achieved 15 weeks in 1994.[1] The record is particularly notable given the UK music industry's implementation of an accelerated decline rule in 2017, which the track managed to evade.[1]
Sam Fender expressed his response to the achievement, stating: "completely lost for words. Thank you so much to Olivia Dean and the fans for making this song the juggernaut that it is."[1] Jo Twist, chief executive of the British music industry trade association, described the accomplishment as "a truly remarkable feat."[1]
The song's success extended beyond chart performance when it won the Song of the Year award at the 2026 Brit Awards.[1]
