Sam Fender &amp; Olivia Dean &#8211; &#8220;Rein Me In&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3triLkS0nq4\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Yes, this again. &#8220;Rein Me In&#8221; has now been on the top 40 for 53 weeks without interruption. The all-time record is 54 (held by Ed Sheeran&#8217;s &#8220;Thinking Out Loud&#8221;), and obviously &#8220;Rein Me In&#8221; is going to shatter that. In an admittedly very quiet week, it returns to number 1 for a fourteenth week. This ties it with Queen&#8217;s &#8220;Bohemian Rhapsody&#8221; and Ed Sheeran&#8217;s &#8220;Shape of You&#8221;. Only four tracks have spent more weeks at number 1 &#8211; if it can manage another week (and it almost certainly will), then it will tie with Wet Wet Wet&#8217;s &#8220;Love is All Around&#8221; and Drake&#8217;s &#8220;One Dance&#8221; to be joint third.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This is &#8220;Rein Me In&#8221;&#8216;s fourth run at number one. The all-time record is seven stints at number one, but that&#8217;s held by &#8220;Last Christmas&#8221;, which did it over multiple years. &#8220;Rein Me In&#8221; has done it in a single uninterrupted chart run, and that&#8217;s unprecedented.<\/p>\n<p>To some extent we&#8217;re not comparing like with like here. For most of its history, the chart was measuring sales, and so it picked up the point where people\u00a0<em>started<\/em> to listen to a record. A streaming chart will continue to register major hits for as long as people continue to listen to them, and so they can be expected to hang around for longer. Still, &#8220;Rein Me In&#8221;&#8216;s performance stands out as exceptional even in the current market. The downweighting rule hasn&#8217;t always managed to shunt older tracks out of the top 40 &#8211; hello, &#8220;Ordinary&#8221; &#8211; but it&#8217;s generally been pretty good at keeping them off number one. It kicks in once a track has been out for more than ten weeks and has had three weeks in a row where it fell by more than the market average. What makes &#8220;Rein Me In&#8221; truly remarkable is that after 53 weeks it has yet to meet that condition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>25. Calvin Harris &amp; Clementine Douglas &#8211; &#8220;Blessings&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JEmbyx8NLxA\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Didn&#8217;t we just have this three weeks ago? Yes, we did &#8211; it had a single week at number 27 and left again. There&#8217;s no obvious reason for it to be back, unless you think that being in the soundtrack of\u00a0<em>Forza Horizon 6\u00a0<\/em>is a big deal. (And that game has been out for several weeks.) Another factor is a bunch of long-running tracks going to downweighting this week, which does result in a bit of shuffling within the chart, but that wouldn&#8217;t explain this track leaping 19 places.<\/p>\n<p>Harris does have a current single out, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GEqcQnf05cw\">&#8220;Satisfy&#8221;<\/a>, which has been out for seven weeks and has yet to get above number 46.<\/p>\n<p><strong>32.

And again, yes, we did &#8211; it had a week at number 35. This one probably is just a case of shuffling due to other tracks being shunted down the chart after going to downweighting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>33.
