Olivia Dean lands three Top 10 hits as UK tour sells out including four O2 Arena shows

Olivia Dean is on a roll as she prepares for the release of her new album, The Art Of Loving (Capitol), next month.

Having become the first UK act of 2025 to secure three simultaneous Top 20 hits last week, she has now gone further and registered three simultaneous Top 10 singles in the latest chart. 

Dean is the first British female artist to achieve three simultaneous Top 10 hits since Adele in 2021.

The impressive chart result coincides with the on-sale date today (August 29) for her 2026 UK & Ireland arena tour, which has since already sold out. Since announcing two O2 Arena shows in London, that has now expanded to four nights at the venue (April 29 to May 2).

Dean has also added a second night at Co-op Live in Manchester (April 25-26) and will now play a pair of shows at OVO Hydro, Glasgow (April 22-23).

In its second week, Dean's latest hit Man I Need moved 8-2 and has become her highest-charting single to date with consumption soaring 54.5% week-on-week to 43,464 units. 

At Capitol Records UK, we couldn’t be more proud to be part of her journey at this pivotal moment

Dean’s Nice To Each Other has also hit a new peak, climbing two places to No.7 (29,574 sales), while Sam Fender collaboration Rein Me In returned to the Top 10 (25,027 sales). 

A fourth track by Dean is allowed under chart rules, as Rein Me In has Dean as a featured rather than a primary artist. That enabled her 2023 track Dive to chart at No.31 (11,610 sales). 

Furthermore, raw streaming data shows that – but for chart rules limiting the number of entries – Dean’s The Hardest Part would have made the Top 40, while Lady Lady would have charted around the Top 50.

Tom Paul, managing director of Capitol Records UK, said: “Olivia’s trajectory this year has been nothing short of extraordinary. As well as having three songs in the OCC Top 10 today, Man I Need is rocketing up charts globally with the track firmly inside Spotify's Global Top 50. The response to today’s UK & EU arena tour on-sale has been electric and all UK & Ireland tickets have already sold out. 

“With so much more to come, including her forthcoming support slots for Sabrina Carpenter in America, it feels like she is only getting started. At Capitol Records UK, we couldn’t be more proud to be part of her journey at this pivotal moment, which is testament to the hard work of the team, her phenomenal management, and the talent and drive of Olivia herself.”
