Olivia Dean now has membership into Spotify’s Billions Club.
The fast-rising British pop star achieves her milestone moment with “Man I Need,” which crosses the threshold with one billion plays on the Sweden-based streaming music platform.
It’s one of many recent plaudits for Dean, who was named best new artist at the 2026 Grammy Awards, swept the 2026 BRIT Awards with four wins, including artist of the year and album of the year, and collected a hattrick of honors at the 2026 MOBO Awards.
Also, Dean is the female artist with the biggest increase in global streams on Spotify in the past year, and she performed her signature song at the Spotify Best New Artist party during Grammy Week.
In Australia, “Man I Need” has collected 20 non-consecutive week at No. 1 on the ARIA Chart, making it the second-longest reigning single in the history of the national charts, which were first published in 1983. Only Tones and I’s “Dance Monkey” has more weeks at the top (24).
In the United Kingdom, she became the first female solo artist in Official Charts history to have four songs in the top 10 simultaneously, a feat achieved last October with her No. 1 “Man I Need,” along with The Art of Loving cuts “So Easy (To Fall in Love),” “Nice To Each Other,” and her collaboration with Sam Fender, “Rein Me In.”
On the other side of the Atlantic, Dean is the Rookie of the Year for Billboard’s 2025 Greatest Pop Stars series and, earlier this month, was crowned on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart with “Man I Need,” recognizing the most-played song on panel-contributing adult R&B radio stations in the United States.
Dean can add to her collection of silverware at the 71st Ivor Novello Awards, to be presented May 21 in London. Dean is one of the frontrunners at the Ivors, with two nominations: best album and The PRS for Music most performed work categories.
“Man I Need” is now added to Spotify’s Billions Club playlist, which now numbers 1,255 songs. Stream it below.
