There’s no reining in Olivia Dean and her pal Sam Fender. Their duet “Rein Me In” has topped the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart for an amazing 20th week. Last week, when the song notched its 19th week on top they set the record for the longest-running #1 single of all time on that chart. Elsewhere, Ariana Grande’s new album petal debuts at #1 on the U.K. album chart, and two songs from it are in the top 10: “hate that i made you love me” and the title track.
In the early 2000s, blue eyeshadow was all the rage. That’s why Michelle Branch has teamed up with MOB Beauty to create a shade of eyeshadow called “Spirit Room Blue,” to mark the 25th anniversary of her 2001 debut, The Spirit Room, and its blue cover. “Some colors hold memories. ‘Spirit Room Blue’ reminds me of late nights, first records, endless skies, and the fans who’ve carried these songs with me for 25 years. Now it’s their turn to wear the story,” Michelle says. “I especially like the idea of making Spirit Room Blue the signature fan look for the anniversary tour.”
