Mason’s Observations on Alex Warren, “back to friends” and Radiohead

Alex Warren’s new album “You’ll Be Alright, Kid” came out on July 18. “Ordinary” has been #1 for seven straight weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and in Top 40 radio airplay, making it the biggest song of 2025 so far. It also returned to #1 on Liveline’s top 20 requests this week. By any measurement, it is the biggest, most unarguable hit of the moment. Now, we think his next possible big song may be here.
