New single from the Barbie film - out this Friday @ midnight BST!
https://barbiethealbum.lnk.to/dualipals
Excited for this! Its been too long without new music from Dua.
Perfect. So this is basically the Swan Song before DL3 launch hopefully the end of the year or early next year

Those strings have taken over my mind
YAAAAAASSS BARBIE
Yeah this sounds huge, excited
However I fully expect a huge era this time then a decline, she hasn't got a massive likeability and the songs speak more than the overall image
I'm not sure if this sound is very current in general, but not going to judge based on snippet. Need a full song.
Remember this probably isn't from her album and doesn't necessarily reflect what to expect sonically from said album which – I think – is going to be a change from FN.
Now THIS is the UK baddie and the Barbie
Hopefully this doesn't eat up the hype for DL3, but then again Swan Song didn't and 'overexposure' doesn't really work like it used to. Here for one last disco hurrah, it sounds a lot more classic disco than FN!

From Dua's https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/59907/1/dua-lipa-interview-2023-versace-barbie-new-album
“I can take the heat / baby best believe, that’s the moment I shine,” she sings, her words punctuated by handclaps.
With ribbony strings and bass that sizzles, it brilliantly deploys every rule in the disco-funk playbook to hit your hedonic hotspots with a sledgehammer"
so ready
So ready for new music from her *.*
Single cover:
Written by Dua, Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt and Caroline Ailin
Song length: 2:56
This has radio deal on first week starting tomorrow
I’m expecting nice debut first week on Pop Radio
Extended snippet from the movie trailer:
Out now!!
A BOP but so short!!! Wish it were longer
Well this is certainly a song she released.
Hopefully it grows.
second listen and already sounds better.
Fully expect this to linger around low top 40 until movie hits theaters and then peak Top 20.
This is great, an easy hit for Dua - perfect for summer!
we got a video!
-
This is not good?
It's no Levitating but I think it's great and the video sold it to me It's slick, catchy, fun, not trying too hard and makes sense for the Barbie soundtrack. Wouldn't sound out of place on Future Nostalgia. The smashing of the disco ball and the pink car in the video kinda confirms this is bookending that era?
I was a bit underwhelmed by the chorus on first listen, but it becomes more of an earworm with every listen. The strings, her sultry, husky vocals (I missed them so much ) are so good and I like the bridge.
Fingers crossed for top 10 but I think top 20 debut would be more realistic
Watch me
DAAAAAAHNSS
I'm not blown away by it, but it's a cute track that I can see doing well until the film comes out.
The verses are great, but the chorus is kind of... flat? Very FN album track -esque like said above. Good to hear her vocals though.
She was trending on Twitter earlier
The verses are solid the chorus ruins the song, would have been better left as instrumental
It's decent, not remarkable though.
I low-key feel this is a Future Nostalgia left over 😂
Dua is 0/2 on soundtrack singles so far.
This is too faceless and dull, which is even more disappointing when Barbie should inspire something actually fun.
I'm obsessed now
Watch me
DAAAAAAHNSS
Firmly lodged in my brain. Thank you Albanian goddess of pop 🙏❤️
Only #72 on UK AM.. this hasn't really taken off yet, and I'm afraid the Barbie Girl cover comes to steal the spotlight soon.
I like it!

Not bad, let’s see how much it’ll drop next few days but it seems like Top 30 debut in UK seems more realistic!!!
Spotify (27/05):
WW: #32 (-12) — +2,403,005 streams *Peak: #20*
US: #52 (-21) — +531,525 streams *Peak: #31*
UK: #32 (-14) — +150,607 streams *Peak: #18*
I hope it can stabilize or climb tomorrow
This just keeps getting better really catchy and I love how much she's ramped up the disco-iness. Whatever happens it's a smash hit on my Spotify account!
#16 in the First Look Chart
Heard this on the way home earlier for the first time and was rather underwhelmed oops. Maybe a grower.
#35 on Spotify today - only a drop of 3 places, held up better than I expected after yesterdays fall.
This isn't really doing it for me. I mean, it's okay but it's really quite basic.
#41 today on Spotify, this is the region I can see it hanging about in for a while, dropped a few places to #9 on iTunes too.
Spotify WW it climbed 1 place to #37
Just happy to see it's stabilizing!!!
Spotify (30/05):

CA: #16 (+5) — +103,102 streams *New Peak*
Amazing update That it's still getting new peaks in Australia and Canada is a great sign
I was underwhelmed initially but it’s hit me now thankfully! Obviously not a career highlight or anything but delightfully light and cheery.
#22 in the mids so expecting it to climb into the Top 20 on Friday after the boost in streams
Moved up to #15 on HHUK 👏

Huge gains! I have a funny feeling autoplay has kicked in though Does that happen on Thursday update usually?
yeah, I expect tomorrow it will go back to 20's-30's region WW and UK!!!
Doesn't autoplay usually last at least a week though? I think it's gonna give it the push it needs to go top 10!
quite like this but it is in desperate need of a Purple Disco Machine remix!
Top 20 debut in the UK! Super pleased with that. It's gonna be interesting to see how this progresses over the next week

New music Friday impact. 2 debuts above Globally, 5 debuts above in the US.
UK top 10 let's goooo
omg amazing...I really didn't expect this to do better in second week...my expectations was debuting Top 20 and then lingering in 30's till movie hits the theaters...glad to be proven wrong!!!
Omg this is up to #19 on Amazon! Enormous climb. I think it was 50 something yesterday. Amazing!
Could it possibly go top 10 next week already!?
EDIT: New peak of #22 on Apple Music. I can't believe this
Heard this on a night out tonight and it actually quite pops 👌
This has really grown on me. I wasn't that impressed when I first heard it as it felt a little "meh"... but now it's lodging in my head a bit more.
I think it could be a good summer-time hit.
Jumped to #14 in midweeks
I think it has a pretty good chance holding into Top 15!!!
Really quite liking this, it's a little earworm that I keep returning to.
I keep getting it on that Spotify DJ thing along with Anne-Marie/Shania and a Tom Grennan song, so I guess there's a small element of autoplay but it's clearly growing organically nicely too, so should linger around for a while as it will sound great in the sun.
I do think Dua is one of the best pop stars of the last decade, pretty easily, at this point. At least she's one of the few major artists who I tend to enjoy nearly every release from these days. Intrigued to hear her next album and the direction she takes.
Doing amazing at the moment
Spotify (06/06)
WW: #15 (+7) — +2,752,163 streams *Re-Peak*

12 20,837 Kylie Minogue - Padam Padam [2,598 CDs, 2,567 downloads]
13 20,574 Dua Lipa - Dance the Night
#13 on the UK Chart this week and not far off the top 10! Here's hoping it can pick up a bit on Apple Music this week. That's the platform letting it down at the moment. On Dua's Apple Music profile it still shows Potion as her "latest release"
Definitely think this will make top 10 at some point. Sounds amazing in the sun today
this went outside Top 40 in matter of days in Global Spotify, I guess the autoplay was indeed the reason it climbed last week so much
Still holding well in UK though!!!
This is growing on me now a little bit. Still not fully loving though. Would be nice for Dua to get another top 10 smash though!
YT views plummeted as well...from 2 million a day to mere 500k in a span of 24 hours!!!
I did think those 2 million a day youtube views were super high!
This was at #9 on Amazon Music yesterday but it's down to #14 now. I know Dua was on the cover of a big playlist on that platform.
Does anyone know what price it is on UK iTunes at the moment?
I'd like to see this go top 10, I hope it hasn't stalled now.
Fingers crossed when the movie comes out it will turn into the next Shallow
UK:
Spotify #16 (-2) 172,274 streams
Apple Music #31 (-3)
Amazon #14 (-4)
It's been quite stable this week. Moved down to #6 on HHUK today
Down to #15 on the UK Chart this week!
I got a sponsored ad for this on Instagram
Solomon Islands Apple Music Song Chart:
1. “Dance The Night” (+66) *New Peak*
— 1st #1 on Apple Music worldwide
Spotify (19/06)
WW: #49 (+8) — +1,819,088 streams *Peak: #15*
UK: #21 (+8) — +150,155 streams *Peak: #8*
US: #103 (+17) — +349,506 streams *Peak: #29*
FR: #85 (+6) — +80,678 streams *Peak: #53*
AU: #21 (=) — +85,847 streams *Peak: #9*
Finally a positive update
Apple have also woken up and moved it up to track 11 on their Today's Hits playlist. Also top 10 at US pop and Hot AC radio!
That radio deal in the US really doing wonders
Dance the Night is not her best work but is good and I did believe it would be much bigger right now than it is.
This has grown but it's very much an inferior clone of 'Levitating', right down to the double hand claps and everything.
I hope it doesn't swallow away hype for when she unleashes the lead single for DL3 (presumably) later in the year.
I think they're using it as a bit of a stepping stone for the lead single but it's just a fun soundtrack bop really. Even the music video is basically an advert for Dua's new Versace designer collection
Dua got into Amazon's good books with this release at least which is great as it's a growing metric in the UK.
I really want this to go top 10 - she would tie Rita for most UK top 10s for British female artist. Sales are so close right now, they could easily do it with a bit of extra playlist or iTunes promo or physical release, send a mailer out to UK fans
#16 in todays mids
Spotify:
WW: #58 (+6) — +1,836,507 streams *Peak: #15*
UK: #28 (+4) — +140,653 streams *Peak: #8*
US: #88 (+33) — +391,574 streams *Peak: #29*
The US woke up
Does look unlikely to go top 10 but it's enjoying a consistent run in the top 20.
I'm still hopeful it can get a boost from the film release to go top 10. Ideally we get track 1 and cover of HHUK that same week + iTunes discount (if it's not discounted already)
Nicki is being put forward as the main song from this album now so if anyone gets number one placement it will be her
This has shot up to #6 on US iTunes thanks to a discount
New peak of #29 on the US Hot 100 this week
Some big climbs on Spotify over the last 2 days with the Barbie premiere
UK #17 (+13)
WW #46 (+25)
US #77 (+31)
AUS #23 (+14)
Jumped back Top 40 in WW Spotify
I can see going back to Top 20 by next week probably!!!
Spotify Streams:
07/07: +2,082,460

14/07: +2,269,515
The GROWTH
It will have longevity but likely to not repeak.
#13 in the midweeks today. Would love to know how close it is between #10 and #15
They better push hard this weekend with the film release. Hot Hits cover and track 1, iTunes discount, remixes, fake cassettes. Come on Team Dua time to wake up
Fake Cassetess could do it lol
The growth has been amazing!! Music video is being played in cinemas 😭 #GetThatPromo
Moved up to track 2 on Today's Top Hits. I'm hoping Hot Hits can move it up as well on Monday 🤞
Re-enters the top 20 of Global Spotify today!
WW: #18 (+6) — +2,666,035 streams *Peak: #15*
US: #43 (+14) — +514,316 streams *Peak: #29*
UK: #14 (+3) — +177,768 streams *Peak: #8*
I was skeptical over whether it'd recover when the film comes out, but good to see it's looking positive!
Top 10 peak tomorrow please 🙏
Best day ever on Global Spotify yesterday!
WW: #12 (+6) — +3,501,775 streams *New Peak*
US: #14 (+21) — +817,782 streams *New Peak*
UK: #7 (+7) — +261,349 streams *New Peak*
Also #9 on UK Apple Music
This is INSANE
her marketing campaign it's amazing...the way this stayed already Top 20 for 2 months and just now after all that time the chances going Top 10 ...I'm loving it!!!
UK Spotify: #4 (+3) - 285,548 streams
UK Apple Music: #5 (+4)
UK Amazon Music: #10 (+6)
UK iTunes: #3 (+4)
This is coming for top 5 on the charts now at the rate it's going
Number 5 on today's First Look Chart
Moved up to track 1 on HHUK today! Dua's team are on it *.*
Yeah the song never really stuck with me but I'm happy Dua is getting another top 10 from it after being 11-20 all this time.
#3 in today's update already
This was good fun in the context of the movie. Snatch that 13th top 10!
OMG top 3...I hope it holds on
They need to discount it on iTunes Weird that Nicki is discounted but not Dua
Over 4 Million streams on Spotify yesterday!
WW: #8 (+1) — +4,024,463 streams *New Peak*
US: #9 (+1) — +931,357 streams *New Peak*
UK: #4 (+1) — +340,330 streams *Re-Peak*
Also up to #2 on UK Apple Music today. Nice little boost from the HH placement. I think this could well stay top 5 come Friday, maybe top 3 even?!
Dua is a goddess of longevity and stability. I'm so impressed at how well her team played the long game with this release + that the big push on Apple and Spotify has happened at just the perfect time
I think it's nailed on for #3!
WW: #5 (+3) — +4,805,195 streams *New Peak*
US: #8 (+1) — +1,146,196 streams *New Peak*
UK: #3 (+1) — +422,053 streams *New Peak*
New peaks all around
So today is Thursday which means streaming won't have any impact on UK charts for tomorrow. Let's hope she manages to keep the Top 3 position in tomorrow's chart!!!
Also so excited for BB100...I am sure this is going Top 10 now with those streams + airplay :cheerleader:
I'm manifesting top 3 on Friday but have a feeling Billie is gonna take #3 with the lead she has on Spotify over Dua. We can still download today though I don't think that's estimated!?
Up to #7 on Amazon, a new peak there I think!
#4 in the UK this week.
I think it has a pretty good chance to go to #3 next week
Sales for the top 5:
02 36,705 Olivia Rodrigo - vampire
03 36,104 Billie Eilish - What Was I Made For?
04 34,928 Dua Lipa - Dance the Night
05 31,633 Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice with Aqua - Barbie World
Dua equalling the top 10 record for UK female artist No doubt she'll break the tie with next album's lead single
Up to #2 on UK Spotify for the first time today
OMFG
+ Dua is on the cover of HHUK now *.*
Dua made this nice post about the song going top 5 on the UK chart (movie spoiler)
The string melodies have been jumping out a lot at me recently. Can this stop being so underrated on here
Was thinking about her earlier and I think that she's already had her big moment. The way this has only blown up on the film, I think she will be now in for a steady decline in terms of impact and success. As let's face it, its always been about the music and not her in general anyway. She got lucky with the pandemic and releasing when she did
She isn't a gaga or adele she is more a goulding in 2015 without the streaming era
Dua released the best pop album of this decade so far and had a big glow up as a performer and artist. She didn't "got lucky with the pandemic" LOL
Dua is a global star that just toured arenas around the world. The GP love her. She has 89 million followers on Instagram. Ellie Goulding could never.
I think if you look back at the 2010-2015 period darling Ellie was one of the top grossing artists. They both have had amazing success and very simialr not denying that I just think she will follow the trend of decline now.
Future nostalgia is up there in my favourite albums of all time!
Yeah I think a decline is gonna happen but can't say that will happen with the next era without knowing what it will sound like.
It's been confirmed that it's not disco and we know Dua is hungry to be a big pop girl and grow and innovate. The recent collabs and soundtrack single of course aren't representative of that but we'll see it with the lead single I'm sure
I don't see how Dua and Ellie are similar
If the lead single is great she could do a Harry Styles and have a huge era again. Dua Lipa was savior of the pandemic and her fanbase grew a lot
why does she have to be Gaga or Ellie lol
She's pretty good standing on her own and I agree with kath...we don't know yet what she'll bring for her third era!!!
Also just for stats purposes since you mentioned Gaga, don't forget Gaga was on a rapid decline from album #3 before she managed to find mainstream success again with her soundtrack and then following up with Chromatica!!!
Since Dave is going ACR apparently week after this, do you think it's time for Dua's team and label to get creative and get her another #1?!!
She's never been so close so bring on CD's, fake cassettes, remixes etc. etc.!!!
I wish they would! Physicals have never been released for any of her singles before (apart from Cold Heart and One Kiss which were not promoted by her team)
We demand fake cassettes and remix featuring Margot Robbie
Heard this a lot at Amsterdam Pride this weekend ❤️❤️
Physicals could result in her achieving another Number 1.
CD singles coming out! #1 confirmed I think? Unless Billie pulls ahead or Olivia massively over performs but I can't see it. It's grown on me massively and probably one of my fave songs of the year!

Shipping £3.49? Is that for real?! How ridiculous...
I don't think the CD will sell a lot if the shipping is so high. What's the point
If I order the CD and ship it in US, will it count for UK chart or US?!
I think it will count for the US. Maybe you can post it to a friend or colleague that lives in UK or send them money and ask them to buy it?

I wanna buy two as well.
Anyone wants Dua CD’s?!
I can Venmo/PayPal you the money etc etc if that’s more comfortable for everyone.
Let’s get Dua to #1
#1 on first look chart
Hopefully she can maintain her lead till Friday!!!
Deserved
WE MUST STREAM!!
Ugh wish we knew Apple Music streaming numbers as well!!!
Less than 1k is indeed really small gap and easily can be overtaken but fingers crossed that by Friday Dua’s label will just submit those CD’s sales and fake cassette’s!!!
I'm surprised it's that close tbh because Dua has quite a bit more Spotify streams than Billie for the week to date
Dua 401,634 + 357,967 + 311,937 = 1,071,538
Billie 365,962 + 333,506 +327,444 = 1,026,912
Dua has also been ahead on all other platforms since Friday - Apple, Amazon, iTunes and Deezer
Billie 2nd version must be just outside or close to the Spotify top 200? I know she has 2 versions charting on Amazon for a while now. Or she is doing good numbers on YouTube and Dua not so much?
Today's update:
1 Dua Lipa - Dance the Night (13,829)
2 Billie Eilish - What Was I Made For? (12,605)
3 Olivia Rodrigo - vampire (12,096)
I can't find the CD on the Barbie online shop anymore. Is it sold out?
I just saw Dua IG ad and clicked on link and it’s still there!!!
FML Billie has released a cassette with free shipping on 17 August
omg Dua she better do the same!!!
Ugh I would be so surprised if they do anything! Billie has literally just pulled the rug from underneath Dua
I know what I'm gonna be praying about when I go to bed tonight
Dua is sightseeing with her mom on an island and posted on Instagram about her podcast, nothing new about Dance The Night
She's now offering free shipping on her CD's!!!
She needs to make a post or at least send an email out about it to her newsletter subscribers! How else will people know? It's not even on Dua's online shop it's on the Barbie online shop
!!!
Glad I held out until they made it free shipping! COME ON DUA!!!
Well now I resent having bought it when the postage was pricey (I’ve emailed the store to request a postage refund and if they don’t do that, then oh well, but meh).
I'm annoyed about paying for shipping twice. I could've bought 6 CDs if I waited LOL
But at least they listened and did something to fight back. Hoping for a positive Spotify update tomorrow
I'm not sure when it happened but just noticed Dua is track #1 on HHUK again + track 2 on Apple Music's Today's Hits It wasn't that high the last time I looked
“I can confirm that we would be unable to arrange a refund for the shipping fees as when your order was placed, there was charges for the shipping.”
i-
That very rude isn't it? What kind of people are they?
Spotify week to-date:
Dua
401,634 + 357,967 + 311,937 + 348,373 + 358,402 = 1,778,313
Billie
365,962 + 333,506 + 327,444 + 366,636 + 362,661= 1,756,209
We need a big boost tomorrow PLEASE
Just return the whole thing Jay see how they like that
Omg poor Jay!! You shoulda waited
She couldn't do it
Devastated
I dislocated my jaw. I can't remember how it happened This week has been too much.
Olivia Rodrigo is releasing CD and cassettes for Vampire. She was only 4k behind Dua on the Wednesday update.
Imagine they bring the release date forward and Dua loses #1 again next week. I would be so angry.
In all honesty, in long term I know Dua's song will be bigger...I'm positive another 1 billion stream song is under her belt with this!!!
My focus can now shift to Dua, will be streaming plenty this week to help!
I hope she can take it, Dance the Night deserves!
UK Singles Chart:

Buy 20! Why not?
You and me need to be hired by her team!!!
Also I feel like she's really not bothered so much by chart peaks but then she always posts shit about Hot 100!!!
You would think she would campaign from yesterday about next week UK chart and I am sure it wouldn't hurt her to offer signed CD's etc. etc. or maybe she just doesn't want to come across as desperate...regardless it's frustrating for us fans because I really want her to do little bit more!!!
I love how Billie Eilish is Dua's podcast guest this week after the whole chart battle (probably pre-recorded before it happened I guess)
^^
this news will go to Olivia's label and her cassettes will be brought back forward
Surely this has to be Dua's week now?! Olivia Rodrigo can wait for her turn next week.
Number 1 has to happen this week.

Dua did an Instagram story about the cassette release now
Her label is reading this forum
Dua's dad Dukagjin Lipa did that *.* we are so grateful king
I ordered 3 cassettes earlier!
(One for myself, one for a friend who lives outside the UK, and one for eBay, if these ever become rare )
While the song is nothing more than okay for me I am rooting for Dua to get that #1 for her birthday!

I dance the Night is the most substantial sang of the year, full of meaning and hidden-depth, encapsulating how people feel, dancing heartbroken in the club, their worlds crumbling, as they dance away, poueing their essence into the act of dance. This works as both a literal representation of dancing in a club to mask your worries, and also on a metaphorical level: how you can "dance" through your problems in life, adopting a zen approach to everything, and throwing yourself into life, even as your world crumbles around you. Moreover, it is also a analogue of Sia'a Chandelier, with the facile, superficial veneer of pop brought to the fore, whilst the hidden depths of Chandelier - partying to mask problems, putting on a party, or any type of, face to the world, whilst you have hidden pressures beneath, a world unknown - play out underneath. Also, the lyrics match he existential crisis that, really, is the meat of the Barbie's character. This is, of course, how Barbie buries her troubles under a facade of flawlessness. It is also a treatsie on the most typical cultural zeitgeist response to economic crisis: music that relates to partying, creating a disconnect between reality as is and reality as is portrayed in music, aka an idealised world juxtaposed against the world of boom and bust, bubble-bursting capitalism.
The cassette is SOLD OUT

Yeeees
OMG this went from 'Top 10 seemed impossible to #1 hit' for her
SHE'S ONLY GONE AND DID IT!!!
SUBSTANCE WINS!!!!
Glad she has got the number 1 eventually, its worked out well that both her and billie got a week at the top each.
Happy for her!
Hopefully this helps set the next era up nicely.
Dua Lipa always bridges the gap between eras very well and in doing so also avoids overkill.
Hopefully Top 5 peak!!!
Edit : would help if I looked in the chart info threads a bit more
Loved seeing this! A Future Nostalgia reject it is NOT, haters! Mark Ronson has a really American accent
Why would people say it is a reject when it is such a good song.
I love how super stable this has been in the US! 10 weeks top 10 now I think!?
This has been nominated for 2 Grammys *.*
Song of the Year
Best Song Written for Film
Nominated for Best Original Song - Motion Picture at the Golden Globe Awards.
Nominated for Best Song at the Critics Choice Awards.
Great that this is getting all the noms but I have a feeling Billie will sweep every award!!!
This will outshine all her new singles during the awards season I fear.
^^
I agree...I feel like this new era started a bit messy...she's literally still more focused on this one than Houdini which makes me think she should have waited for new era till February/March.
This seems to be a NYE smash party hit!!!
Dance The Night becomes Dua's 10th single to be certified diamond in France
