    Demise of the monoculture: why so many have never heard UK’s record-breaking No 1 single

    Sam Fender and Olivia Dean’s Rein Me In is longest-running No 1 single in UK chart history, and yet it seems to have passed many people by

    It’s the biggest song in the UK, but have you ever heard it? That was the question many were asking this week, after Sam Fender and Olivia Dean’s Rein Me In became the longest-running No 1 single in UK chart history, spending an unprecedented 19 weeks at the top.

    The British Phonographic Industry said the song had resonated with listeners “in such a profound way”, while Fender thanked Dean and fans “for making this song the juggernaut that it is”.

    Sam Fender and Olivia Dean’s “Rein Me In” Is Longest-Running No. 1 Single Ever in UK

    Sam Fender and Olivia Dean just made history on the UK Billboard charts. “Rein Me In,” their collaborative single from his 2025 album People Watching, clocked its 19th week atop the chart, making it the longest-running No. 1 single ever in the United Kingdom. They broke a 73-year record for that achievement; Frankie Laine’s hit “I Believe” previously held the title with 18 weeks back in 1953.

    “Rein Me In” came out with the rest of People Watching in February 2025, but the Dean-featuring version was tacked on in June of that year. It then took a long but steady climb to hit No. 1 this past February. After winning Song of the Year at the 2026 BRIT Awards, it’s barely been dislodged from that spot. Only four other songs briefly claimed No. 1 on the UK charts during that time, for one week each: Harry Styles’ “American Girls,” Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drop Dead,” Ariana Grande’s “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” and Taylor Swift’s “I Knew It, I Knew You.”

    Is it possible to have a monoculture? This WA town doesn't think so

    Leaders in regional WA say their town was built on multiculturalism.

    It comes after One Nation leader Pauline Hanson suggested Australia should have a monoculture in her address to the National Press Club last week. 

    Senator Hanson has been invited to discuss the issue with Katanning Imam Alep Mydie.

    When Imam Alep Mydie heard One Nation leader Pauline Hanson's call to establish a monocultural Australia, he was more confused than concerned.

    "Even in the place I call home, which is Katanning, I have been here for the past 56 years, multiculturalism has existed before I arrived here," he said.

    The message was clear. It was from a recent migrant from South Africa who was married to a recent migrant from Bosnia.

    At a round-table birthday party discussion, the subject of Pauline Hanson's National Press Club speech came up. The migrant said she did not feel qualified to comment but mentioned a hospital visit with her child which cost nothing; the lack of violence; the abundance of good food at a reasonable price; and how she and her husband were on track to buy a house. In short, she wondered: "What are you whingeing about?"

    Pauline Hanson’s address to the National Press Club was the talk of the town — well, of the town in which I live, Canberra, anyway — for a few days last week. But GetUp!’s banner stunt and Hanson’s intemperate abuse of Guardian journalist Sarah Martin have distracted analysts from the best evidence we have so far of what One Nation, in the guise of a putative mainstream party of the right, now stands for. If it is no longer a minor party of protest rooted in rural and regional grievance and reaction, what exactly is it?
