According to The Guardian, the record was originally set in 1953 with U.S. crooner Frankie Laine’s “I Believe,” which spent a total of 18 weeks on the national singles chart. Breaking the 73-year-old record, the two have spent a total of 19 weeks at the pinnacle spot.

Written by Fender for his third album, People Watching, "Rein Me In" was the sixth single to be released. A sort of dream-pop/indie-rock anthem, its sound mirrors hits of the ’90s, like “Linger” from The Cranberries and “Losing My Religion” from R.E.M.
“I’m talking about substance abuse and drinking too much to get the reason back, the reason for going through your day,” Fender said, per The Guardian. “It’s loosely based on my own life, this song, but also, I always kind of take parts of my own life and put it into characters and embellish it, ‘cause all good stories deserve embellishment. The ‘rein me in’ part kind of [means] your friends are gonna rein you in from drinking too much and going off the rails because you’re heartbroken and you’re dealing with it in a bad way.”
Here in the U.S., “Rein Me In” has seen more modest success, operating as a steady sleeper hit rather than an all-out record-breaking juggernaut. That’s mostly due to the unprecedented success of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas,” which is America’s version of the record-breaking juggernaut.
According to Billboard, U.S. and U.K. music fans are going through a widening divide, with the countries rarely being so far apart on a song.
