New Love, Don’t Start Now and Houdini: Dua Lipa’s lead singles ranked
Where does ‘Houdini’ place? WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN DL3! Is! Coming!
Following the gargantuan success of Barbie’s dance-pop smasher ‘Dance the Night’, which became Dua Lipa’s fourth British chart-topper and received two Grammy nods – just FYI – the star has finally blessed her fans (the Dua Lipan’s?
the Dula Peeps?) with her third era. Due for release in 2024, the album will follow her 2017 self-titled debut and Future Nostalgia (2020), both of which are the most-streamed albums by a female artist on Spotify.
One of the most acclaimed albums of the 21st century, the latter’s singles – ‘Don’t Start Now’, ‘Physical’, ‘Break My Heart’, ‘Levitating’ and so forth – were responsible for the industry’s long-awaited disco revival and for cementing Dua’s status as the pop star of her generation. (The stats are necessary to include because, really, who’s doing it like our world-travelling pop queen?) As we patiently await DL3, we’ve ranked all of Dua’s lead singles (so far).
