Alex Warren<\/a> is facing a conundrum that many pop singers have battled in the past, but one that most musicians would be lucky to experience. He scored the hit of a lifetime with \u201cOrdinary,\u201d which dropped in early 2025. The tune turned him into a radio favorite and something of an industry darling, and it proved that TikTok influencers can cross over and find true, massive commercial success in the traditional music industry.<\/p>\n \u201cOrdinary\u201d powered Warren\u2019s debut album, You\u2019ll Be Alright, Kid, which also featured several additional hit songs. Throughout 2026, Warren has been pushing tunes from his forthcoming sophomore set, Wildchild. Three singles have already been shared from the project \u2014 \u201cFever Dream,\u201d \u201cFine Place to Die\u201d and \u201cPassenger\u201d \u2014 but none of them have reached the same heights as \u201cOrdinary.\u201d That is due in part to the fact that Americans are still enamored with the syrupy-sweet love song.<\/p>\n \u201cOrdinary\u201d remains present on multiple Billboard charts, and it even manages to rule one more than a year and a half after the Grammy nominee first shared it. As the smash holds atop a radio tally, Warren moves up on an all-time ranking and makes history yet again.<\/p>\n Alex Warren\u2019s \u201cOrdinary\u201d Holds at No. 1 Again<\/p>\n Alex Warren\u2019s \u201cOrdinary\u201d<\/a> is steady at No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart<\/a>, one of three pop-focused radio rankings published by Billboard, alongside the Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay tallies. \u201cOrdinary\u201d has now spent 36 of its 61 weeks on the rundown in first place. Most hits are lucky to reach double-digit turns at No. 1, let alone several dozen.<\/p>\n \u201cOrdinary\u201d Passes The Weeknd\u2019s \u201cBlinding Lights\u201d<\/p>\n With another frame in charge, \u201cOrdinary\u201d breaks out of a tie with The Weeknd\u2019s \u201cBlinding Lights.\u201d That smash spent 35 weeks running the show beginning in November 2020. Just last period, the two tracks were tied as the fourth-longest-running No. 1s in the history of the Adult Contemporary chart.<\/p>\n Alex Warren Matches Maroon 5\u2019s Chart Record<\/p>\n \u201cOrdinary\u201d is now matched with another pop blockbuster. Maroon 5\u2019s \u201cGirls Like You\u201d<\/a> spent 36 weeks atop the Adult Contemporary chart beginning in November 2018. The two singles jointly rank as the third-longest-running rulers of all time, but perhaps not for long.<\/p>\n Miley Cyrus and Teddy Swims Beat Alex Warren<\/p>\n \u201cFlowers\u201d by Miley Cyrus is far and away the longest-running No. 1 in the history of the Adult Contemporary chart. Beginning in the spring of 2023, the Grammy-winning smash spent 57 weeks in the penthouse. It is the only tune to rule the roster for more than a year.<\/p>\n The following summer, Teddy Swims almost joined Cyrus in that club. His breakout hit \u201cLose Control\u201d dominated for 49 weeks, which is the second-longest reign the ranking has ever seen.<\/p>\n \u201cOrdinary\u201d Remains a Top 20 Hit on Four Billboard Charts<\/p>\n \u201cOrdinary\u201d appears on four Billboard charts at the moment, and a year and a half after its release, it remains a top 20 smash on each and every one of them. As it holds steady on the Adult Contemporary ranking, the track climbs on the other three tallies.<\/p>\n US singer-songwriter Alex Warren performs on stage during the KIIS FM’s iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2025 at the Inuit Dome in Inglewood, California on December 4, 2025.

It comes in one space lower, at No. 16, on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. ranking. The first of those two worldwide lists measures sales and streaming activity from around the globe, while the latter uses the same data, but removes all consumption originating in the United States.<\/p>\n Alex Warren Claims Two Adult Contemporary Hits<\/p>\n Warren has racked up four hits throughout his career on the Adult Contemporary chart, and two of them appear on the 30-space rundown this week. His recent drop \u201cFever Dream\u201d holds at No. 29, standing at its all-time high. Throughout the month it has spent on the list, the tune has never climbed any higher.<\/p>\n
