Man I Need — Olivia Dean

'Man I Need' cements Olivia Dean as the highest-charting solo UK act on this list, holding firm at second with unmistakable indie-soul confidence. The single has racked up 1.8 million UK streams this week and has spent 14 consecutive weeks inside the top 10, a stretch that outlasts nearly every new entry in 2026. Dean's solo momentum from last year's album cycle has clearly carried through, and 'Man I Need' is now outselling several newer high-profile releases — a powerful sign that her audience keeps growing.
