How Alex Warren’s ‘Ordinary’ Took Off ‘Like a Rocket Ship’ Around the World


Alex Warren's "Ordinary" is a hit. Here's how the song became a global success, according to Atlantic Records vp of A&R Michael Parker.

Since then, a steady stream of singles led to increasingly positive returns, and Warren made his first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 last fall with “Burning Down,” which peaked at No. A first-ever Love is Blind live reunion performance that sent the already soaring song off like a rocket ship, as well as making his late-night TV debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon!
