The Art of Loving, the second studio album by British neo-soul singer Olivia Dean, has officially surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify.
This marks her first studio album to reach such a feat and cements it as her most streamed project to date.
Released on September 26, 2025, the album remains a top-ten staple on major charts. It currently sits at No. 2 in the UK and No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Seven weeks in, it has yet to slip outside the top ten either of these charts.
The success of The Art of Loving is driven largely by the public’s embrace of her songs on social media. Dean’s breakthrough year in 2025 shot her swiftly to the forefront of the neo-soul renaissance, as listeners gravitated toward her effortless romanticism and warm sonic palette. Singles such as “Man I Need,” “So Easy (To Fall in Love),” and “Rein Me In” with Sam Fender continue to dominate music charts. At present, all three tracks occupy different spots within the top ten of the UK Official Singles Chart. In October, Dean became the first British female artiste to chart four songs simultaneously in the top ten.
What’s next for Dean? The fresh Grammy nominee is gearing up for a 2026 tour, with stops scheduled across the USA and Canada.
