His global chart topping #1 hit single “Ordinary” is also now 3x certified Platinum by the RIAA.

The song hit 16 weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay radio chart, breaking the record for the longest reign ever on that chart. It also spent 10 weeks as #1 on the Billboard Global 200 songs chart, eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 Excl. U.S. chart and 13 weeks at #1 on the Official UK Singles Chart. The single is currently #1 for the 22nd week on the US Hot AC Radio tying the longest running #1 in the chart’s history. “Ordinary” joined the prestigious Spotify Billions Club and upon crossing 1 billion streams, Alex was only the second artist to hit the milestone across all songs released in 2025. The song now boasts an impressive 2 billion global on-demand streams across multiple platforms, according to Luminate. Most recently, Alex delivered an electrifying performance of “Eternity” into “Ordinary” at the 2025 MTV VMA’s where he also took home the award for Best New Artist. Watch here.
