OLIVIA DEAN’s highly anticipated sophomore album The Art of Loving goes straight in at #1 on the UK album charts, alongside hit single ‘Man I Need’ which also peaks today at #1 in the UK singles chart – becoming the first solo British Female artist to claim the #1 single & #1 album simultaneously since Adele in 2021. Olivia also announces two more dates for her residency at The O2 in London on the 11th & 12th of June, adding to her biggest ever UK and EU tour, which kicks off in April 2026. Tickets for the new dates will go on general sale 10am BST Friday 10th October, available here.
The tour will commence at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on April 23rd, before embarking cross-country and culminating in six huge shows at The O2 in London – including four in April / May and two new additional nights in June as part of her O2 residency. Olivia also takes her exceptional live show across Europe performing tracks from The Art of Loving as well as live favourites off her Mercury Prize nominated debut, Messy.
Speaking on her chart success, Olivia said: “I feel very grateful and overwhelmed! I love the album I made and I’m so proud of myself for making it. But ultimately it is so joyful seeing how much it means to people and how it’s helping people understand love and loving.”
Olivia currently also holds three of the top 10 biggest British singles released in 2025 so far, as well as The Art of Loving garnering the biggest opening week for a British female artist since Adele in 2021, according to Official Charts. The record, which includes fan favourites ‘Nice To Each Other’ and lead single ‘So Easy (To Fall In Love)’, quickly rose to Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart, and hit single ‘Man I Need’ became the highest charting song from a UK act on Spotify’s Global Charts this year, as well as charting at #25 (to date) on the Billboard Hot 100. The Art of Loving has since become the fastest selling album for a British female artist in 2025.
