Sat May 03 04:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” Reigns Supreme: Seven Weeks at #1 in UK, Climbing Billboard Charts
**London/New York, May 2, 2025** – Alex Warren’s breakout hit “Ordinary” continues its phenomenal success, achieving a seventh consecutive week at number one on the UK Singles Chart. This makes it the longest-running chart-topper in the UK since Sabrina Carpenter’s “Taste” in 2024. The song’s popularity isn’t confined to the UK; it has also reached a new peak of number three on the Billboard Hot 100, climbing two spots and marking Warren’s highest chart entry to date. The song is poised to challenge Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” for the top spot in the coming weeks.
Warren’s recent performances at Stagecoach Festival, where he received a heartfelt serenade from Lana Del Rey, and Coachella, alongside Ed Sheeran, have further propelled his success. Del Rey praised “Ordinary,” stating it was a song that “takes you to church.”
The singer-songwriter’s journey to success has been marked by personal hardship, including the loss of his parents and homelessness, experiences he openly channels into his music. In a January interview with Billboard, Warren explained how he transforms these difficult moments into something positive and meaningful for his listeners.
Other notable chart movements include Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” remaining at number two, and Lorde’s new single, “What Was That,” debuting at number eleven, marking her fifth top 40 hit.
