Alex Warren Achieves Rare Chart Feat as ‘Ordinary’ Hits 9th Week as U.K. No. 1

Alex Warren's "Ordinary" is now the longest-running No. 1 by a U.S. solo male act in over 70 years.

Florida-born artist Slim Whitman earned an 11-week stint at the top spot in 1955 with “Rose Marie,” the title track from the 1954 western epic starring Ann Blyth and Howard Keel. Speaking to Billboard in January, Warren discussed using challenging moments in his personal life, including the passing of both of his parents and his stint of homelessness, in his material. The week’s highest new entry comes from Calvin Harris and Clementine Douglas, as their collaboration “Blessings” lands at No.
