Olivia Dean’s new album The Art of Loving is the No. 1 album in Jamaica and four additional countries on Apple Music—Fiji, Cayman Islands, Papua New Guinea, and Trinidad and Tobago.

The British soul-pop singer’s sophomore project released via Capitol/Polydor on September 26 also tops the Spotify charts in seven territories, including Australia, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United Kingdom on November 28. Across both platforms combined, the album is now charting in well over a hundred countries, from major commercial markets including the United States where Dean earned her first career No. 1 on Spotify on November 24.

‘The Art of Loving’ logged 19.3 million global Spotify streams on November 26, topping the previous day’s 19.1 million. The third  single ‘Man I Need’ reached No. 2 on the global Spotify daily chart with over 5 million streams and earned her first RIAA Platinum certification for 1 million U.S. units. Seven album tracks charted simultaneously, while Louis Tomlinson praised her as ‘absolutely incredible’ with ‘brilliant music’ and a ‘great voice.’ The album has now passed 1 billion total streams as her momentum builds.

In Canada, Germany, and South Africa to fast-growing streaming hubs such as the Philippines, Brazil, and Indonesia the album is charting in the top 10.

“Man I Need,” released on 15 August 2025, is charting in more than ninety countries and reaching No. 1 on Spotify in Australia ([#1]), Ireland ([#1]), New Zealand ([#1]), and the United Kingdom ([#1]). Apple Music replicated that success with No. 1 placements in Bhutan ([#1]), Fiji ([#1]), New Zealand ([#1]), and the United Kingdom ([#1]).

On Shazam, “Man I Need” has risen to No. 1 in both Australia and New Zealand and sits comfortably inside the Top 5 or Top 10 across key European and North American markets.

The lead single, “Nice to Each Other,” released on 30 May 2025, is charting in more than sixty countries, reaching the Top 10 on Spotify in New Zealand ([#5]), the United Kingdom ([#8]), and Australia ([#9]), while Apple Music places it strongly in New Zealand ([#8]), Australia ([#11]), Ireland ([#19]), and Papua New Guinea ([#22]). Though more understated than the later singles, it set the tone for the album era and laid the early groundwork for Olivia Dean’s worldwide rise.

The fourth and final single, “So Easy (To Fall in Love),” released on 26 September 2025, is charting in more than a hundred countries and continues to extend Dean’s international reach. On Spotify, it secures Top 10 positions in New Zealand ([#2]), Australia ([#3]), the United Arab Emirates ([#4]), the United Kingdom ([#4]), Ireland ([#7]), Canada ([#8]), and the United States ([#9]). Apple Music places it similarly high in Fiji ([#3]), New Zealand ([#3]), Qatar ([#5]), Australia ([#6]), Bahrain ([#7]), the Netherlands ([#7]), and the UAE ([#7]). Its continued climb on Shazam—reaching Top 3 in Indonesia ([#2]) and Malaysia ([#2]), and consistently charting inside the Top 15 worldwide ([#15])—cements it as another major force behind Dean’s global visibility.
