Alex Warren’s ‘Ordinary’ Earns 11th Consecutive Week as the U.K.’s No. 1 Single

Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” is No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart for an 11th consecutive week on Friday (May 30).

In the 2020s, only one other song has enjoyed a comparable run at the summit: Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits” ruled for 11 weeks in 2021, the longest streak in the decade so far. Warren was previously tied with Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (2022), Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” (2023) and Dave and Central Cee’s “Sprinter” (2023), all of which earned 10-week stays on the charts.

Only six songs boast longer stints at No. 1 in the U.K. since records began. Sheeran’s “Shape of You” (14 weeks, 2017), Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” (14 weeks, 1975), Drake’s “One Dance” (15 weeks, 2016), Wet Wet Wet’s “Love Is All Around” (15 weeks, 1994), Bryan Adams’ “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” (16 weeks, 1991) and Frankie Laine’s overall frontrunner “I Believe” (18 weeks, 1953)

Warren occupies three places in the top 20, as his Jelly Roll collaboration “Bloodline” is the highest new entry on the chart at No. 9. His single “Carry You Home” currently sits at No. 12. 

In the latest Billboard Hot 100 update, Warren’s “Ordinary” slipped two places to No. 4, with the top three all dominated by Morgan Wallen; the country star’s Tate McRae team-up “What I Want” currently holds the top spot.

On the Official Singles Chart, Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” lifts one place to No. 2, Ravyn Lenae’s “Love Me Not” falls to No. 3, while sombr’s “undressed” and WizTheMC and Honey & Bees’ “Show Me Love” hold at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively.

Elsewhere, rising British pop Skye Newman hits a new high with her song “Family Matters” charting at No. 6, and Lola Young’s “One Thing” is up three places week-on-week to No. 22.
