Sam Fender's song Rein Me In sets a new chart record
Sam Fender and Olivia Dean have made chart history after their song Rein Me In became the longest-running number one single of all time by a British act.
With 16 weeks at the top of the UK charts, the duet has surpassed Wet Wet Wet's Love is All Around from 1994 and equalled Canadian singer Bryan Adams' (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.
I'm sure you'll all join me in agreement when I say this seems wrong. It's the opposite of the problem in football where they only include Premier league stats when discussing all time top scorers. Surely charts where streaming is the main measure should be a totally different category of record? For that reason, I dispute this record.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
