Sam Fender and Olivia Dean have reached a major UK chart milestone with Rein Me In. Billboard reported that the collaboration has spent 16 weeks at No. 1, making it the longest-running UK chart-topper by a British act.
The achievement moves the song past the previous 15-week record set by Wet Wet Wet with Love Is All Around in 1994. The new mark gives both artists a place in UK chart history while highlighting the song’s unusually strong staying power.
Rein Me In first appeared on Fender’s album People Watching before a revised version featuring Dean gave the track a new perspective. Their combined vocals helped the song connect with a wider audience and build momentum over time.
Rather than arriving as an immediate chart phenomenon, the single grew steadily through continued streaming, radio support, and listener interest. Its extended run reflects the strong response to both artists, who have each built distinct audiences in recent years.
The record adds another notable achievement to a song that has become one of the defining UK hits of its release period.
