3 August 2026<\/time>\n <\/p>\nOlivia Dean was left \u201ccrying all day\u201d before headlining her first festival in America on Saturday night (02.08.26). <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Olivia Dean left ‘crying all day’ before Lollapalooza headlining set<\/p>\n
\nThe 27-year-old singer took to her Instagram page to share a video of herself on stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago, as she wrote: \u201cMy first time headlining a festival in America – 97,000 of you!! Truthfully I had been crying all day beforehand trying to process how we even got to this point.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThank you for sharing your love with me and thank you to everyone on my team who makes it possible for us to shine up there!!!!!\u201d <\/p>\n
\nOlivia concluded: \u201cLove always!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\nLollapalooza commented on Olivia\u2019s post: \u201cYou are a STAR. Thank you for giving us EVERYTHING.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWhile her Rein Me In collaborator Sam Fender added: \u201cLegend!\u201d <\/p>\n
\nOlivia was joined by Sam on stage at the festival to perform their chart-topping tune, after it made history as the longest-running number one single in UK chart history on Friday (31.07.26). <\/p>\n
\nThe duet – which first entered the charts back in June 2025 – topped the chart again on Friday, marking its 19th non-consecutive week at the top slot – breaking a record previously set in 1953 by Frankie Laine’s I Believe. <\/p>\n
\nSpeaking as he received the Official Chart Record Breaker Award from the Official Charts Company, Sam said: \u201cCompletely lost for words, thank you so much to Olivia Dean and the fans for making this song the juggernaut that it is. Can\u2019t believe we broke the UK record!\u201d <\/p>\n
\nOfficial Charts bosses have congratulated the “exceptional” duo on their achievement. <\/p>\n
\nBecca Monahan and Chris Austin, interim Co-Managing Directors, Official Charts, said: \u201cCongratulations to Sam Fender and Olivia Dean on an extraordinary, history-making achievement. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cFor Rein Me In to break a record that has stood for 73 years is remarkable in itself, but it feels especially significant to see two homegrown British artists write a new chapter in Official Chart history together. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cSam and Olivia are both exceptional talents, and the incredible connection Rein Me In has made with audiences speaks to the strength and ambition of British music today. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cAt a time when UK artists are competing on a truly global stage, this is a fantastic moment to celebrate British creativity – and a record-breaking Number 1 that will now sit proudly in the history books.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nAlthough it was released last June, Rein Me In took almost eight months to take the top slot, hitting number one on 20 February this year.<\/p>\n
