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.
