Alex Warren claims longest-running number one by US male solo artist in 70 years

His single Ordinary has logged nine consecutive weeks at the top, making it the longest-running single since Florida-born Slim Whitman's Rose Marie – which managed an 11-week stint way back in 1955, according to the Official Charts Company.
He has also eclipsed Elvis Presley, whose single It's Now Or Never logged eight weeks at number one in 1960.
Ordinary was released on February 7 via Atlantic Records following the launch of his debut studio album – You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1).
Warren, 24, helped to create collaborative TikTok group the Hype House, a Los Angeles-based collective of young social media personalities.
He began to make music independently in 2021 before being signed.
Ordinary is his only number one single in the UK chart, and his second track to have made it into the top 10.
Elsewhere in the singles chart this week, Love Me Not by US singer Ravyn Lenae is in at number two while Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club sits at number three.
The rest of the top five is comprised of Show Me Love by South African-German singer WizTheMc, and Undressed by US singer Sombr.
Over in the albums chart, Even In Arcadia by English rock band Sleep Token debuts at number one, with Sabrina Carpenter's Short N' Sweet in at number two.
New at number three is Fancy That by alternative pop singer PinkPantheress, and this is followed by Ed Sheeran's Mathematics Tour Collection at number four and Never/Know by The Kooks at five.

Tracee Ellis Ross stuns fans after revealing how many pairs of underwear she packs for vacation

Tracee Ellis Ross is the internet's favorite rich, single aunty. And thanks to a recent TikTok she made showing what she does on vacation with her underwear, her fans are calling her more relatable than ever. In the video, Tracee says that a person can 'only pack so much underwear' and explains that rather than pack a month's worth of undies or paying hotels to wash her delicates, she does it herself. She broke down the process, saying that she uses shower gel, a bar of soap, and two sinks to hand wash her underwear before she rings them out, rolls them into a towel, and then hangs them up to dry. This video comes one day after Tracee spoke to Travel + Leisure editor-in-chief Jacqui Gifford about her packing essentials during an on stage interview at the annual World's Best Summit on July 15. She told Jacqui that along with a dress, bathing suit, and flip flop, 'there's always two undies' that she packs. Jacqui questioned Tracee on this, asking if she only brings two pairs of underwear. The Black-ish actress explained her underwear-washing process - the same one she eventually posted a video of - and moved on to talking about the importance of solo traveling. Tracee's fans praised this process, sharing that they too were raised to wash their intimates by hand. Many called her 'relatable' and 'likeable' for the act despite her celebrity But the internet paused there momentarily. With headlines stating Tracee only packed two pairs of underwear while traveling, some people were beginning to believe that that was all the underwear she'd bring with her on a trip. Considering Tracee's celebrity, some fans were confused by this. 'This can't be real, buy new ones,' one user even wrote on X, formerly Twitter. But after Tracee noticed the traction the article was getting, she decided to address the speculation by reposting one of the articles on her Instagram story. She captioned it saying, 'This is hilarious. I pack two pairs in my carry-on... in case my luggage doesn't make it.' Regardless, it seemed as though a majority of Tracee's fans didn't care for how much underwear she actually packed - they were too excited at the 'down-to-earth' display of her makeshift 'washing machine' to care. 'Why are you so normal and so extraordinary at the same time?' one user commented on her TikTok. After confused messages from fans, Tracee took to her Instagram stories to clarify that she only packs two pairs of underwear in her carry-on in case anything happens to her main luggage. But she did say that she doesn't pack many pairs despite the length of a trip Many people even shared that their own experiences, pointing out that they were raised to wash their intimates by hand just like Tracee. 'I love seeing things that show that celebrities are literally just normal people,' another wrote. 'This is why we love you Tracey! So relatable!' someone else added. Almost every other comment on Tracee's two-part videos (one for the washing process and the other for drying) mirrored similar sentiments: this act only made Tracee that much more likable. 'Miss Tracee, I didn't think I could love you more but after this, I do,' one fan confessed.

I Live In Dresses – This Is The Chic Style I'm Wearing All Summer

It seems as though we're having a maximalist summer. With quiet luxury brushed under the carpet for the warm-weather months, at least, more-is-more trends – from 'Sardine Girl Summer' to standout seashells – are taking centre stage. And when it comes to prints, you've most likely noticed you can't go 2 minutes on TikTok or Instagram, attend a wedding or even have a day in the office without seeing spots. While the likes of Hailey Bieber are backing dotty capri pants, there's a more wearable trend that practically any of us can wear: polka dot dresses. The retro trend has made a huge comeback, and with searches for dresses in this timeless print being up by 2640% (according to Mediavision) since the start of the year, it seems as though dotted dresses are sticking around for the duration. While we've already told you about the black and white & Other Stories polka dot puff-sleeve mini dress we've seen on so many fashion insiders, there's a new style in opposing colours that we're seeing a lot of, and it's all thanks to French label Sézane. Creating a white and black linen-mix mini in the key print for 2025 was a clever move, but creating one that has multiple styling opportunities is genius. Below, content creator @maggie_mccormack shows how the A-line dress looks worn with the scarf tied around the neck as a halterneck. But, with the scarf detail being removable, it's more versatile than you may originally think. Sézane Rosabella Dress The dress that needs no further introductions – enter: The Sezané polka dot mini dress that's already proving to be the style of the season. The cut, the neckline detail and the light linen material are all part of what makes it a best-seller for summer. ©Instagram/@morganewaquez French fashion insider @morganewaquez got creative, removing the scarf detail and draping across the neck to tick off the spring/summer look of the season. Dresses with scarves are a wedding guest favourite, but we love to see it worn as part of a holiday-ready outfit with sunnies, chunk flip flops and a beaded bag. A monochromatic look can do no wrong in our eyes. ©Instagram/@maggie_mccormack And if you want to get more bang for your buck from these £165 Sézane dress, you could also remove the scarf and wear it as a simple bandeau. One dress, three ways to wear – of course this summer winner is already selling out fast so you'll have to be quick to get yourself one. Prefer longer lengths? There's also a black and white midi version and a brown and white maxi style you may also want to add to your wish list. Along with our edit of the other best Sézane dress styles this summer has to offer, it's time to get the French girl look we all admire. Sézane Rosie Dress If you're sold by the print of the polka dot Rosabella mini but prefer a midi length, you'll want to meet Rosie. Longline and straight-cut, this sleek spotty dress with side split and comfy shirred back detailing is one not to miss. Sézane Welissa Dress If polka dots aren't your vibe, you can always rely on classic leopard print to liven up your warm-weather dress collection. The square neckline with crossover straps at the back makes it 360-degree perfection. Sézane Pearline Dress Firstly, yes you can wear a black dress in summer. This Broderie anglaise version with its tie-front and scalloped-hem detail will easily be your plus one to brunch plans, dinner dates and after-work drinks. Sézane Clotilde Dress Here to romanticise the timeless white shirt dress, the ruffle collar and hemline is giving that Parisian boho vibe to an otherwise simple dress. No doubt you'll want to style this with knee-high boots and a suede jacket come autumn, too. Sézane Dorothe Dress How good would this checked dress with subtle floral print look down the streets of a European city break? Complete with ballet flats and an oversized straw bag, of course. Perfection. Sézane Eliora Dress If you have a beach location wedding to attend, or you're just planning upcoming holiday outfits then you'll want to pack this Sézane hot pink mini. The silk fabric and golden hardware elevates the one-shoulder style so it's ready for any fancy plans. Sézane Fiorella Dress Summer sequins are having a moment, and this pretty pink dress is an easy way to try out the trend. Not only will it work across the year for so many occasions, 100% of profits from these dresses sold on the first Wednesday of every month will go to Demain (the organisation supporting breast cancer survivors). Sézane Giuseppe Dress We couldn't complete our guide to the best Sézane summer dresses without, you guessed it, another polka dot style. Brown and white spots will always remind us of that Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman dress, and we love this fresh take with spaghetti straps and floaty maxi length.
