Break Adele's Record, Olivia Dean Becomes the Most Dominant British Female Soloist on the Charts

JAKARTA - The world of music in Great Britain has just made a new history through Olivia Dean's phenomenal achievement. Through her second full-length album, "The Art of Loving", the 26-year-old soloist was officially crowned the British female musician with the longest number one album on the official charts (Official Charts) in this decade.

Since its release last October, "The Art of Loving" has secured the top spot for seven weeks, but not consecutively.

This figure automatically surpasses the record previously held by Adele through the album "30", which had dominated for five consecutive weeks in 2021.

This achievement is proof of how strong Olivia Dean's musical appeal is in the ears of music lovers.

Since its debut on the charts, "The Art of Loving" has never been thrown out of the top five. This momentum is further strengthened by Dean's success in winning the Best New Artist category at this year's Grammy Awards, which confirms his status as a new force in the pop and soul music industry.

However, the competition at the top is not quiet. Following a stunning performance on the Super Bowl halftime stage, Bad Bunny experienced a sharp spike. His album, "DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS", skyrocketed 42 places to take second place - the highest achievement and the first top 10 album for Bad Bunny in the UK.

On the other hand, the hip-hop realm also paid its final tribute to J.Cole. His final album titled "The Fall-Off" landed in third place.

Meanwhile, Japanese singer-songwriter Joji also set a personal record with "Piss in the Wind" which sits at number six.

In addition, Olivia Dean's record marks a shift in trends in the British music industry, where new artists are beginning to shift the dominance of big names that have been established for the past decade.

This success was also supported by stable streaming numbers and strong physical sales in the UK domestic market.
