Olivia Dean has become the only female solo artist to have four singles in the Official Charts UK Top 10 simultaneously.

Earlier this year, the neo-soul pop star became the first British female artist since Adele to score three UK Top 10 singles. Man I Need also became the highest-charting UK song on Spotify’s Global Charts in 2025.

Now, she's smashed yet another record, thanks to Man I Need (#2), So Easy (To Fall in Love) (#6), Nice To Each Other (#8) and her Sam Fender collaboration Rein Me In (#10).

Olivia became the first solo British female artist to claim the number one single and album simultaneously with Man I Need and The Art of Loving since Adele in 2021.

The album also gained the biggest opening week for a British female artist since Adele’s 30.

This year has proved monumental for Olivia, and next year is shaping up to be another successful year, with the star already set to play six sold-out nights at London's The O2 as part of her headline trek in support of the record.

As for when fans can expect her third studio album, Olivia might head back to the studio "soon", but she believes "every good album comes as the result of some living" - so that's what she plans to do.

In a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar, she said: "I have my own arena tour coming up—which is ridiculous! I’m excited to pour into that and make that a special experience for everybody. Maybe I’ll get back in the studio soon; it’ll be quite nice to express myself and make some new things. And travel! I’d like to see the world, whether that’s with touring or not. I think I’ve got some living to do now. I think every good album comes as a result of some living."
