They faced a fierce chart battle with ‘s World Cup anthem Dai Dai, which was in the lead earlier in the week.
But they overtook her on Thursday after Sam encouraged fans on social media to download the tune.
The achievement means the British pair have overtaken Frankie Laine’s 1953 song I Believe, which spent 18 weeks at No1.
Rein Me In is the second best selling song of 2026 so far, behind Man I Need.
The pair released their duet last June and it first topped the charts in February.
It was knocked off the top spot three times by Harry Styles’ American Girls, ‘s Drop Dead and ‘s Hate That I Made You Love Me, but always returned to No1 to continue its non-consecutive streak.
Bryan Adams holds the record for the most consecutive weeks at No1 with 16 for 1991’s (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.
Scottish band were previously the UK act with the most weeks at No1 for a single, when they topped the charts for 15 weeks with 1994’s Love Is All Around.
The news comes just a day after for her second album The Art Of Loving.
Sam, who , is currently working on his fourth studio album, so they’re both winning at life.
