Ariana Grande's 'Hate That I Made You Love Me' Tops U.K. Singles Chart for 13 Weeks: A Look at Chart-Topping Hits and Records
This week, Ariana Grande secures the top spot on the Official Singles chart in the United Kingdom with her new song "Hate That I Made You Love Me," which serves as the first single from her upcoming album Petal. This marks Grande's eighth chart-topping hit, surpassing Sam Fender and Olivia Dean, who previously held the top position with their collaboration "Rein Me In." The track has spent 13 weeks at No. 1 and is on the verge of tying with other successful songs in U.K. chart history.
If Grande's song steps down from the peak position, "Rein Me In" by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean is likely to reclaim the top spot, as it is only one week away from matching the record of 14 weeks at No. 1. This achievement would place the song alongside iconic hits like Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You," which also spent 14 weeks ruling the chart.
The longest-running No. 1 song on the U.K. singles chart is "I Believe" by Frankie Laine, which held the top position for 18 weeks. Bryan Adams follows with "Everything I Do) I Do It for You," which spent 16 weeks at No. 1. Other notable tracks that came close to this record include Wet Wet Wet's "Love Is All Around" and Drake's "One Dance," featuring Wizkid and Kyla, both of which dominated the chart for 15 weeks.
Both Olivia Dean and Sam Fender have achieved four top 10 hits on the Official Singles chart, with "Rein Me In" being Fender's only chart-topper and Dean having two No. 1 hits. Grande's latest success marks her eighth No. 1 on the chart, surpassing artists like George Michael, Robbie Williams, and Michael Jackson. She now shares the record for the most No. 1 hits in U.K. history with acts like Kylie Minogue, Oasis, The Rolling Stones, Sam Smith, and Justin Bieber.
Ariana Grande's chart-topping hits on the Official Singles chart showcase her continued success and popularity in the music industry.
