DUA LIPA

Dua Lipa (and yes, that is her real name) is one of the biggest UK pop exports of the last five years. Initially breaking through in the late 2010s with a series of singles including the scorching Hotter Than Hell and the feather-light Be The One, Dua's first UK Number 1 single, New Rules, ushered her into true star territory, a position she only built upon with her second album Future Nostalgia, her first album to reach Number 1 in the UK. 

Star-making hits such as Don't Start Now, Physical and Levitating secured Dua's place as a soon-to-be-superstar, and she's also branched out into acting, including roles in Greta Gerwig's Barbie (which also contained her fourth UK Number 1 single, Dance The Night) and twisty spy thriller Argylle. Her third studio album Radical Optimism arrived in May 2024, accompanied by hypnotic bangers Houdini and Training Season, both produced by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker. Radical Optimism successfully landed straight in at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart with the biggest opening week for a British female since Adele's 30 three years earlier. 

June 2024 saw Dua headline Glastonbury Festival's Pyramid Stage, one week later Official Charts confirmed Dua Lipa to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Glastonbury Effect, with three Dua albums surging back into the Official Albums Chart Top 10. Following her hit-filled set, fans and viewers clamoured to buy physical copies of her records with Future Nostalgia announced as the week's best-selling vinyl album.
