About Alex Warren
Burgeoning pop artist Alex Warren is one of 2025's breakout stars worldwide. Now boasting an impressive over 2.4B total career streams and over 53M monthly listeners on Spotify, his hit single "Ordinary," released in February and recently certified Platinum by RIAA, is taking over the world. With over 613 million streams and counting, the song reigns at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the 5th week and #1 on the Billboard Global 200 songs chart for the 10th week. The song is also currently #1 across the Global 200 Ex US and Top 40 Radio. The track spent 13 weeks at #1 on the UK songs chart. Off the heels of the success of "Ordinary," Warren is gearing up to release You'll Be Alright, Kid this July. The album will feature all the songs on You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), released last fall, alongside 10 entirely new tracks. Amongst these new tracks are Warren's smash hit "Ordinary," "Bloodline," and his newest release "On My Mind." While You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) focuses on dealing with grief, You'll Be Alright, Kid turns the page with healing, resilience and optimism.
Alex has delivered soul bearing performances of the track, making his award show debut at the 2025 American Music Awards, his late-night television debut, and performing at Coachella and Stagecoach. Adding to his accolades, Alex was named Billboard's January Chartbreaker with his track "Burning Down." The single, which marked Alex's first time breaking onto the Billboard Hot 100, has now amassed over 185 million streams and reached #1 on the global charts in eight countries. He follows his record-breaking success with live shows as he recently wrapped his sold out, headlining Cheaper Than Therapy Global Tour, hitting 47 cities across Europe and North America. He extended the tour to add 15 more shows later this summer.
In 2024, Warren released his acclaimed full-length debut album, You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), which instantly skyrocketed onto charts around the world. The album is further highlighted by Warren's global success with another standout platinum certified track, "Carry You Home," which has garnered nearly half a billion streams worldwide. Known for his vulnerable pop melodies, passionate vocals and lyrical candor, Warren has won over fans with these deeply personal singles. He was named to People Magazine's list of "Talented Emerging Artists Making Their Mark", Sirius XM's Artist Accelerator Program and one of 2025's artists to watch by both Tidal and Amazon Music. Most recently he was named an iHeart Radio "On The Verge" artist.
