Young British star Olivia Dean is enjoying the highs of success and has achieved yet another milestone.

The 27-year-old is on the path to become one of the best among her peers after winning the Grammy for Best New Artist in February after the success of her album The Art of Loving.

The star has now broken British icon Adele’s long-standing record with her song Man I Need.

The singer’s 2025 single has become the first song by a woman since Adele's Hello to reach No. 1 across Pop, Adult Pop and Adult R'n'B radio.

Adele last achieved the feat in 2015 with her hit Hello from album 25.

Last year, Olivia became the only female singer to have four singles in the Official Charts UK Top 10 simultaneously.

Her songs Man I Need, So Easy (To Fall in Love), Nice To Each Other and Rein Me In, all charted in Top 10 at the same time.

The album also gained her the biggest opening week for a British female artist since Adele’s 30.

The success of her 2025 album has left her in the spotlight as she prepares her third studio album.
