Olivia Dean’s Aptly Titled ‘The Art of Loving’ Tops U.K. Albums Chart for Valentine’s Day

Olivia Dean’s winning streak continues as The Art of Loving earns a seventh non-consecutive week at No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart (Feb. 13).

The London-born singer-songwriter is enjoying a bumper start to 2026, having occupied the top spot for five of the first seven weeks of the year. On Feb. 1, Dean also became the first British artist to collect the Grammys’ best new artist prize since 2019, and only the 10th overall.

The Art of Loving, first released in September, is yet to leave the top five of the Official Albums Chart. The LP’s single, “Man I Need,” also scored a week at the summit of the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart, and is currently at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The Art of Loving is the longest running No. 1 album by a British female artist this decade; Adele’s 30 (2021) was the previous holder of the record with five weeks at the summit.

Following his acclaimed Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday (Feb. 8), Bad Bunny roars into the top 10 for the first time in his career. The Puerto Rican star’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos jumps 42 places to hit a new peak of No. 2 this week. Upon its original release in January 2025, the LP peaked at No. 13.

J. Cole’s The Fall-Off lands at No. 3 to give the rapper his fifth top 10 LP. The record was billed by the North Carolina native to be his final album, and features guest appearances from Burna Boy, Erykah Badu, Future and Tems.

The remainder of the top five goes to greatest hits compilations from Fleetwood Mac (50 Years – Don’t Stop) and The Weekend (The Highlights), clocking in at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively. Japanese-born Joji’s Piss In the Wind lands at No. 6 to give him his highest ever charting album to date in the U.K.
