AceShowbiz - Olivia Dean continues to impress as her album The Art of Loving secures its seventh non-consecutive week at No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart as of February 13, 2026.

The London-born singer-songwriter has enjoyed a remarkable start to the year, holding the top position for five out of the first seven weeks of 2026. Earlier in February, Dean also made history by becoming the first British artist since 2019 to win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, marking only the tenth time the accolade has gone to a U.K. performer.

The Art of Loving, which was initially released in September 2025, has proven to be a long-lasting success, never dropping below the top five on the Official Albums Chart. The album’s standout single, “Man I Need,” achieved a week at No. 1 on the U.K. Official Singles Chart and currently holds the No. 2 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.

This achievement makes The Art of Loving the longest-running No. 1 album by a British female artist this decade, surpassing the previous record held by Adele’s 30, which spent five weeks atop the chart in 2021.

Meanwhile, following his widely praised Super Bowl Halftime Show performance on February 8, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny surged into the U.K. top 10 for the first time. His album Debí Tirar Más Fotos jumped 42 places to reach a new peak at No. 2, improving on its original January 2025 peak of No. 13.

At No. 3, rapper J. Cole lands his fifth top 10 album with The Fall-Off. Hailed by the North Carolina artist as his final studio album, it features collaborations with Burna Boy, Erykah Badu, Future, and Tems.

The rest of the top five is rounded out by two iconic greatest hits compilations: Fleetwood Mac’s 50 Years – Don’t Stop at No. 4 and The Weeknd’s The Highlights at No. 5. Japanese-born artist Joji also achieved a career milestone, with his album Piss In the Wind reaching No. 6, his highest chart position in the U.K. to date.

With her critically acclaimed debut and record-breaking chart performance, Olivia Dean is solidifying her place among Britain’s top musical talents in 2026.
