Olivia Dean has broken a UK chart record. Find all the details below.
Following the release of her second album, ‘The Art of Loving‘, earlier this month, Dean has become the first female solo artist to ever have four singles in the Official Charts UK Top 10 simultaneously.
The songs in question are ‘Man I Need’, which is currently at Number Two, ‘So Easy (To Fall in Love) at Number Six, ‘Nice To Each Other’ at Number Eight, and ‘Rein Me In’, her collaboration with Sam Fender, at Number 10.
It comes after ‘The Art of Loving’ reached Number One in the album charts upon its release, marking the biggest opening week for a British female artist since Adele in 2021.
Responding to the news, Dean wrote on Instagram: “i’m the first woman in history to have four songs in the Top 10 at home 
thanks for loving the art of loving ”
Dean’s latest record scored a four-star review from NME, with Hannah Mylrea comparing her to musicians like RAYE and Sam Fender: “British artists who’ve ascended to bigger and bigger stages, crafting music that while sonically is in their own lanes, is filled with honest lyricism coming from a distinct voice.
“As Dean prepares for her own sold-out arena tours – and with her tracks soaring up the UK charts – this record comes to cement her place. With it, marks the next chapter in Dean’s career, one as a popstar risen.”
Next year, she’s headed on a UK and European tour, which includes four dates at London’s O2 Arena. You can find a full list of dates, as well as all ticket information, here.
Ahead of the album’s release, Dean shared the lead single ‘Nice To Each Other’ back in June, and told fans it was about the push and pull of exploring your independence in dating.
In other news, earlier this summer, Dean played a surprise set at Glastonbury and released the duet version of ‘Rein Me In’ with Sam Fender, after the two performed his ‘People Watching’ track during his huge London Stadium show.
Next month, she’s set to appear as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live.
