In addition to tying the single song record this week, if it holds Sam Fender & Olivia Dean will tie Elvis Presley for 4th most weeks at #1 in a year regardless of the number of songs. Currently: 1953 Frankie Laine (28) 2024 Sabrina Carpenter (21) 2021 Ed Sheeran (19) 1961 Elvis Presley (18) (tie) 2017 Ed Sheeran, 2026 Sam Fender, 2026 Olivia Dean (17)

It took a little bit of luck, SnS had like 2k less units the week it fell out, but i'll always take it. Especially for an album as great as short n sweet. Crazy that the short n sweet tour contained performances of 2 of the most prolific albums in the 2020s between SnS and the Art of Loving

Thats also for a solo artist, male or female

The Art of Loving departs the top 5 with the T-11th longest streak in UK chart history, T-6th most for an artist album: 1. South Pacific soundtrack (180) 2. Sound of Music Soundtrack (153) 3. Simon & Garfunkel- Bridge Over Troubled Water (84) 4. The Greatest Showman soundtrack (62) 5. The Beatles- Please Please Me (55) 6. Mary Poppins soundtrack (51) 7. Gigi soundtrack (48) 8. Sabrina Carpenter- Short N Sweet (46) 9. Elvis Presley- G.I. Blues (44) 10. Ed Sheeran- = (42) 11. (tie) Shania Twain- Come On Over, Olivia Dean- The Art of Loving (41)

In honor of the 4th anniversary, both the fwd vinyl and for the first time ever, the previously exclusive to Japan fwd CD, are available on her website The CD has appeared to sell out

I think its not much of an american thing cause sweet Caroline is most associated in America with the Boston Red Sox, so anyone who roots for a rival team wouldn't be caught dead singing along to (except for a really sweet moment after the Boston marathon bombing where their main rivals the Yankees played it to show solidarity and the entire stadium sang it at the top of their lungs)

The streak is tied for 6th most for an artist album and 11th most for any album

This feels like it'll be the week the art of loving falls out of the top 5

If Olivia holds onto the top 5 for another week, she ties Ed Sheeran's = for the longest top 5 streak for a solo british artist, and 10th longest in chart history

I think she climbs back in at #5. Deep Purple wont be there in the end, the question is if it's Harry or Olivia, and Harry no longer has Wembley dates to keep him above as the week progresses

That's T-7th longest top 5 streak all time for an artist album (and T-12 overall) South Pacific soundtrack (180) Sound of Music soundtrack (153) Simon & Garfunkel- Bridge Over Troubled Water (84) The Greatest Showman soundtrack (62) The Beatles- Please Please Me (55) Mary Poppins soundtrack (51) Gigi soundtrack (48) Sabrina Carpenter- Short n Sweet (46) Elvis Presley- G.I. Blues (44) Ed Sheeran- = (42) Shania Twain- Come On Over (41) (tie) West Side Story soundtrack, Spice Girls- Spice, Olivia Dean- The Art of Loving (40)

A chart competition i haven't seen talked about much, but it's really been heating up lately Most weeks at #1 on the singles chart by a woman named Olivia: Newton-John (18) Rodrigo (16) Dean (15)

In the US, she reportedly shipped 170k physicals this week

This song isnt released by her label

Yeah the next 2 months could get interesting for that number. 9 including this week to tie, 10 to break
