Alex Warren is a singer-songwriter who previously rose to fame as a content creator for sites like YouTube and TikTok (where he was a member of the Hype House).
Armed with a tank full of emotive acoustic-based pop, Warren branched out into a music career, scoring his first UK Top 40 hit in September 2024 with Carry You Home. Six months later, the Californian singer scored his first UK Number 1 with Ordinary – a booming chamber-pop song influenced by Hozier and Florence + The Machine. Alex told Official Charts “Thank you to the UK for the Number 1 single of the week, I promise I won't let you down – I’ll make you proud!”
Nine weeks later, thanks to Ordinary's unbroken chart-topping residency, Official Charts announced that Alex Warren had eclipsed Elvis Presley to claim the longest-running Number 1 by a US male solo artist in 70 years.
As the breakout Californian singer-songwriter secured an unprecedented 12th week at Number 1, Official Charts confirmed in June 2025 that puts Alex Warren as the US artist with the most consecutive weeks at Number 1 in Official Singles Chart history. Securing the feat, he trumps Slim Whitman, who managed 11 consecutive weeks at the summit with Rose Marie way back in 1955.
On 25 July 2025 Alex Warren landed his first-ever UK Number 1 album with You'll Be Alright, Kid.
