I guess it's not necessary to say this, but I can't wait for her debut album to come out.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 5th July 2016, 07:14 AM

So hyped for this

Posted by: Cameron 5th July 2016, 08:13 AM

Can't wait!

Posted by: Dane 5th July 2016, 08:39 AM

Can't wait for this. Definitely my favourite new artist of the past two years. There's something about her & her voice that just make me love her.

Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 5th July 2016, 06:59 PM

Standard Edition: (12 tracks)



Deluxe Edition: (17 tracks)



Besides the previously four songs, looks like "Blow Your Mind" and "Room for 2" are going to be released as instant grats too.

Posted by: LimeGreenBow 6th July 2016, 11:27 AM

You guys should check out a girl called MY in the meantime! She's got a really cool style too and gritty voice. Would post a link but can't yet as I'm new!

Posted by: liamk97 6th July 2016, 11:31 AM

HIDEOUS artwork! What were they thinking?!

Posted by: JosephStyles 6th July 2016, 11:38 AM

Yeah that's not a good picture of her at all

Posted by: mr_pmt 6th July 2016, 06:15 PM

That is a horrible picture of her! Considering she is actually an attractive girl.

Posted by: HarryEzra 6th July 2016, 06:16 PM

She is so so so so beautiful but she looks like she just got punched here!

Posted by: liamk97 7th July 2016, 02:37 PM

She's trying to hard to be your average "tumblr white girl".

Posted by: Cucumberella 7th July 2016, 03:23 PM

has she got a mouthguard in???

Posted by: Ryan. 7th July 2016, 03:25 PM

It's pretty much exactly the same pose as the Hotter Than Hell artwork so I'm surprised this one is getting such a hard time. It seems perfectly fine to me, stands out nice in my iTunes library anyway with the simplicity of it!

Posted by: JosephStyles 7th July 2016, 03:41 PM

I don't like the Hotter Than Hell artwork either tbf shame because, as said before, she is stunning, this artwork isn't doing her any favours at all though.

Posted by: Regina 7th July 2016, 03:53 PM

I initially thought she had a bit of lettuce in her teeth but it was just a bit of dirt on my screen. Not the best cover ever, but it's nice enough.

Posted by: Cucumberella 7th July 2016, 03:55 PM

this is the thing tho ryan - it's not that different by any means but when you're doing a clooooseup picture, millimetres could make the difference... and the difference of her putting her tongue in the roof of her mouth put it from good to ???!?!?!?

Posted by: Ryan. 7th July 2016, 03:57 PM

Fair enough but to me she looks just fine even in the close-up!

Posted by: Cucumberella 7th July 2016, 03:59 PM

they really should've swapped the pictures from HTH and this, the hotter than hell cover is GORGEOUS

Posted by: mr_pmt 7th July 2016, 04:43 PM

She looks dead.

Posted by: liamk97 7th July 2016, 05:06 PM

Yeah, I can't say I like the 'Hotter Than Hell' cover either, but the difference is that I'm not really going to ever see that one. If I was to buy her album, I'd have that awful cover physically in my hands and, unfortunately, album artwork does have some bearing on whether I'd buy and album or not (unless I'm a die-hard fan of said artist, and Lord knows I've needed to be to buy some of Madonna's albums, hello Hard Candy).

Posted by: Ryan. 7th July 2016, 05:14 PM

It really surprises me that the artwork of an album can determine whether someone buys an album or not, and this isn't just in response to you Liam but to other people on various forums I've seen say similar things. 99% of the time when I buy an album, I play a CD once and then store it away never to be seen again as the songs will just go onto my iPod. But even so I always think the sole purpose of a CD is to listen to songs and not to be able to look at pretty artwork - unless its a very special type of cover of course like Katy Perry's candy smelling Teenage Dream cover or something. But even then that's only an extra reason to buy, not a reason not to buy.

Posted by: liamk97 7th July 2016, 05:29 PM

I do agree, it does seem silly that what an album looks like influences the decision to buy it, since the main purpose of buying an album is to listen to it. I suppose I'm still a keen physical buyer and I like to play it on my record player so I do see the album cover a lot more which perhaps is party why I hold this opinion, plus I'm generally someone who likes things to look nice and neat so I wouldn't want something that's not aesthetically pleasing to spoil my music collection.

I'm the same when I want to buy a compilation album by an artist who has a substantial amount of them released through the years - I'll always try to go for the one that looks nicest, even if it means it doesn't cover all my favourites, which is pretty crazy!

Posted by: Ryan. 7th July 2016, 05:37 PM

Haha it makes sense! I always used to get irritated when I bought a CD and then the album and artist name on the side of the CD was aligned the wrong way around to 99% of other CDs - I think nearly all face left and then there's the odd few that face right (if that makes sense). I wouldn't go as far as not buying it because of that but I see where you are coming from in terms of having things looking aesthetically pleasing!

Posted by: liamk97 7th July 2016, 05:40 PM

I know what you mean and unsurprisingly that's something that drives me mad too! I have my CDs lying flat so the titled can be read from left to right, so if I have one that has the titles the wrong way round, I have to put the CD front cover down instead of upwards which is annoying, although thankfully not to the point where I'd refuse to buy it.

Posted by: Liаm 8th July 2016, 10:17 PM

This has been delayed now until January 20 2017

Posted by: JosephStyles 8th July 2016, 10:37 PM

Mess

Posted by: ___∆___ 10th July 2016, 04:37 PM

January 2017?! Is her record label taking tips from Stooshe? She might not get another hit between now and then and HTH will be a distant memory.

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 10th July 2016, 11:19 PM

She hasn't had a hit yet though?

Posted by: HarryEzra 10th July 2016, 11:41 PM

Well she has tho #15 in the UK Charts is a hit

Posted by: ___∆___ 10th July 2016, 11:54 PM

'Hotter Than Hell' is doing a good job of not being a hit Currently in the iTunes Top 10 and a chart run of 50-75-60-55-44-18-17-15-15 and will likely reach a new peak this week.

Posted by: Pompeii 11th July 2016, 01:26 PM

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 11th July 2016, 02:14 PM

Forgive me... I meant a big hit single. I appreciate HTH is doing well but certainly not enough to put an album out... January sounds sensible to me.

Posted by: Red Blooded Man 11th July 2016, 04:34 PM

They should've pushed Last Dance instead, it's far better than anything she's released.

Posted by: Ryan. 11th July 2016, 10:49 PM

For me I'd rank her singles:

1. Hotter Than Hell 10/10
2. Be The One 9.5/10
3. Last Dance 7.5/10
4. New Love 6/10

Posted by: Joe. 12th July 2016, 06:13 AM

9.0 Be The One
8.0 Hotter Than Hell
6.0 Last Dance

Posted by: JosephStyles 12th July 2016, 06:53 AM

09.0 Hotter Than Hell
08.0 Be the One
05.0 Last Dance

Posted by: PAJ88 12th July 2016, 07:16 AM

Be The One - 9
Hotter Than Hell - 8

The only 2 we have in Australia.

Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 28th July 2016, 11:21 PM

09.5 Hotter Than Hell
08.5 Be the One
08.0 New Love
07.5 Last Dance

Album delayed until February 10 according to iTunes Germany.

Posted by: Steve201 28th July 2016, 11:59 PM

Stupid, should be out now with the success of HTH!!

Posted by: JosephStyles 29th July 2016, 12:03 AM

I think it *could* work better for her actually, I'm not sure Hotter Than Hell has been quite big enough to sell an album yet. Could be better with a couple more hits under her belt! And she would get swallowed whole in Q4 so I think Jan/Feb is the best time for an album by her, especially as that's the time where new acts get pushed most.

Posted by: Bjork 1st August 2016, 02:08 PM

So theres gonna be a 5th single in Sept and then
At least a 6th single next year?
Makes no sense to me
Shows lack of trust in her by the label imho
I'd gone with an Oct release

Posted by: JosephStyles 1st August 2016, 02:13 PM

October is Q4, one of the busiest months of the year for albums, she would be swallowed up and this would debut at like #17. February is a much better time, and to the general public, Hotter Than Hell is the first single anyway so it doesn't make that much of a difference.

Posted by: Bjork 1st August 2016, 02:18 PM

She has a new single in Sept
The logic thing would be to follow it up with the album in Oct
Otherwise it means the label doesnt trust you

Posted by: JosephStyles 1st August 2016, 02:28 PM

I don't think it IS logical to release an album by someone who isn't a big name at a time where you need to be a big name to get a good chart position. They may not trust her but it makes more sense commercially.

Posted by: Liаm 24th August 2016, 01:32 PM

New album cover! Better than the old one, obviously

Posted by: JosephSpears 24th August 2016, 01:38 PM

SOOOO much better!

Posted by: Cremey 24th August 2016, 01:40 PM

Absolutely love that!

Posted by: princess_lotti 24th August 2016, 06:01 PM

love this new one!

Posted by: mr_pmt 24th August 2016, 07:39 PM

I can't see the picture? Like, even when I quote Liam's post there's no link in it to indicate an image is present?

I already know it's better on account that it couldn't be worse though.

Posted by: Ryan. 24th August 2016, 07:56 PM

I actually prefer the old one which I didn't get the hate for, it was simple yet effective. This one is nice too though, I just think that the way the old one was focused completely on Dua's face was a more "iconic" way of introducing a new artist. I like all Dua's artworks though, they all have a wonderful simplicity and are always striking.

EDIT: Sorry didn't realise how big that was but at least it works!

The music video of "Room For 2" will be premiered soon on Hunger TV.

From https://www.facebook.com/dualipaofficial/videos/1104705396282043/:

Posted by: Liаm 29th October 2016, 05:30 PM

Room For 2 is a complete misfire, absolutely awful choice of single :/

Posted by: UltraBasicWitch 29th October 2016, 05:34 PM

Was thinking the same Really hope its just an instant grat or something as it is so so poor

Posted by: Ryan. 29th October 2016, 05:36 PM

It isn't a single, just a song for Hunger Magazine to have a special video for like Cheryl's Ghetto Baby was amongst others. It's a nice album track and shows a different side to her but it wouldn't work as a single.

Posted by: John-James 29th October 2016, 09:33 PM

I actually love Room For 2, it's so different

Posted by: Red Blooded Man 31st October 2016, 12:27 PM

I like it but it's not single-material.

Posted by: (Zach) 2nd November 2016, 12:46 AM

Agreed. Hotter Than Hell and Blow Your Mind are in a different league.

Posted by: mr_pmt 3rd November 2016, 09:20 PM

That's way more interesting than anything else she's put out (none of which I've particularly liked)

Posted by: Ryan. 27th December 2016, 10:00 PM

Rumours from German music stores that this could be delayed until May 31st, we shall wait and see!

Posted by: Jack 27th December 2016, 10:49 PM

Not surprised in the slightest. Hopefully they don't actually have 'Be The One' as a re-release and release something new instead.

Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 27th December 2016, 11:00 PM

Good, I don't like her really

Posted by: Liаm 28th December 2016, 02:07 AM

I don't think that's true luckily, I mean it may be for Germany but Dua tweeted yesterday that if anything changes you'll "hear it from her" and she hasn't tweeted anything about a delay so I think it should be fine. Be The One is cutting it a bit fine to take back off though Blow Your Mind didn't do that badly, and Hotter Than Hell did really well, but I suppose in this climate you never know how a song will do so it's really hard for new artists to gauge when to release an album.

Be The One's re-release isn't really the best choice of single (as much as it is still her best song) though so it'd be good to go for something else but this is getting ridiculous now. The album is never really going to set the world alight so I don't see the point in holding it back for even longer. If she was to release something else and delay it that would be 6 singles before release

Well nobody is making you listen to her album

Posted by: ___∆___ 28th December 2016, 01:08 PM

I hope they don't screw up this release but TBH I can't see it doing that well unless she pulls another hit out of the bag? HTH and BYM both went silver but neither feel as though they were big enough to sell the album to the general public and the song with Sean Paul missed the Top 40

She should have released off the back of HTH and then plugged away at promo and getting another hit to support the album - as per above the campaign is over before it's even started with 6 releases.

Posted by: JosephCarey 28th December 2016, 01:12 PM

In all fairness it's a bit too soon to rule out No Lie anyway as things are just starting for it! Be the One hasn't been playlisted by Radio 1 or Capital yet so there's still some time. Pushing the album back to May would be a terrible decision, just chuck it out in Feb as planned, it wouldn't do any better in May?

Posted by: ___∆___ 28th December 2016, 01:20 PM

It's like Stooshe - scored a hit and the album got multiple delays and by the time it was released it had leaked/people had got bored of waiting and the hit was almost forgotten.

And if it's released in May it will be a year since HTH was released and 8 months since BYM!

Posted by: mr_pmt 28th December 2016, 02:28 PM

I feel like they've spent a year trying to make her happen and no one really cares? 'Hotter Than Hell' was a minor hit at best, but I just feel it's not gonna happen no matter what they try.

Posted by: JosephCarey 28th December 2016, 02:32 PM

I'd say top 15 is a pretty decent-sized hit in 2016! I'd agree in general though, they're trying to create buzz around her and it's not really happening.

Posted by: ___∆___ 28th December 2016, 02:46 PM

HTH and BYM were both decent sized hits for a new artist - both seeking 200,000+ and going silver but neither feels like a memorable hit and have been quickly forgotten. The record company know they need a huge smash to get enough interest in the album to get the return on investment they need.

Posted by: jase. 28th December 2016, 07:53 PM

She's my artist of 2016 so I'm gonna need the public to start taking to her more next year

Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 28th December 2016, 07:57 PM

Who does Dua Lipa appeal to anyway? A couple of my friends like her (teen girls) but no one else seems bothered with her. She doesn't seem to have the budding personality like rising stars Zara Larsson and Anne-Marie have.

Posted by: travis 28th December 2016, 09:39 PM

they're literally Sky Ferreira-ing her. if this album gets pushed back again, it's as good as scrapped and she'll have to go back to the drawing board and come up with a revamped sound.

Posted by: ___∆___ 29th December 2016, 12:01 AM

Yes I was thinking the same - If it doesn't get released in February they won't bother at all and have her record a new album with some songs surviving from this one.

They will be pinning the whole project on the Sean Paul track and new single becoming sizable hits if it has any chance of getting its planned release.

Posted by: Sugarplumberella 29th December 2016, 04:11 AM

i know chart positions etc matter in terms of selling but i was shocked to learn 'blow your mind' was only a #30 hit??? i feel like i couldn't avoid that song this year

i do think there is potential with her but just release the album lmfao its not that serious

Posted by: Sugarplumberella 29th December 2016, 04:13 AM

people have already heard half the album as it is??

Posted by: Red Blooded Man 2nd January 2017, 06:59 AM

I like Room for 2, and they should've pushed Last Dance last year. Hotter than Hell is good but banal.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🕊 5th January 2017, 08:55 PM

"Thinking 'Bout You" will be released tomorrow.

Posted by: Samantha1989 5th January 2017, 08:58 PM

It's ok. Not really liking it too much atm, hope it grows like Room For 2 did!

Posted by: Cameron 5th January 2017, 09:39 PM

Yeah it's a bit meh

Posted by: John-James 5th January 2017, 11:10 PM

I hate the new song

Posted by: mdh 5th January 2017, 11:13 PM

Is it a single?

Posted by: ___∆___ 7th January 2017, 01:22 AM

It's an instant grat from the album.

The standard version of the album has 12 tracks and we already have 7 of them between the singles and instant grats

Posted by: RosaParksMyCar 7th January 2017, 06:36 PM

this womans management fascinates me. what do they expect her to do? she's clearly not getting the massive hit they want so these delays are really pointless.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🕊 8th January 2017, 03:35 AM

In the last days, there were some information that there was an album sampler, which included "New Love", "Be the One", a demo of "Last Dance" and "Bad Together" and it was sent out over a year ago. Anyway, that album sampler leaked and, by default, "Bad Together" is out there. I like it.

Posted by: ___∆___ 8th January 2017, 06:16 PM

The whole campaign is a mess tbh but there seems to be finally some movement on the 2 singles on iTunes

17 No Lie
86 Be The One

Posted by: RobBob 11th January 2017, 11:53 AM

HOWLING, this has been pushed back to JUNE 2ND.

Posted by: Tinasha 11th January 2017, 11:55 AM

Oh god...

!!!!!!!!!!


Omg 😂

Posted by: Froyo 11th January 2017, 12:06 PM

If that's the case they should use that time to actually change the album. I would keep Hotter Than Hell, Blow Your Mind & Be the One on there but remove the other tracks that we've heard, maybe keeping a couple of them as bonus tracks. If they're pushing it back, it means they'll be another single before it is released and so there's only four songs that haven't been released. That especially means that they'll be no lifespan for the album beyond its release date.

Its an actual joke the way that this campaign has been handled.

Posted by: lewistgreen 11th January 2017, 12:07 PM

Apparently it's so she can add in some new songs and collaborations

Posted by: JosephStyles 11th January 2017, 12:18 PM

They better have a killer new single to launch the album with then because these delays are getting ridiculous probably for the best I guess as Be the One isn't looking to set the charts alight but still...

Posted by: Tinasha 11th January 2017, 12:27 PM

All she needed was a bit of promo though. Like I said in the other thread, a performance of Be The One would have opened out her audience loads and probably helped sell the album a huge amount.

Posted by: mr_pmt 11th January 2017, 01:11 PM

They should probably just give up at this point, from a business point of view it is literally pissing money down the sink.

Posted by: Liаm 11th January 2017, 01:18 PM

Absolute joke for sure That's over a year after Hotter Than Hell and coming up 10 months after Blow Ya Mind!

I don't see what was wrong with releasing it after Hotter Than Hell, that did really well for a new artist in the streaming era... I know it's a bit uncertain nowadays and albums might not sell bucketloads but they've recorded it, she's put her heart into it, just release it. She might not even get another hit by June, Be The One is moving up quite well on iTunes but I don't think it's doing much on Spotify so has a way to go. I suppose if theyr'e putting "new songs and collaborations" it sounds like gonna try and strike gold with a proven hitmaker perhaps, if they can get someone But it's a risk, I hope that more new artists don't have this fear and do this. Commercially successful debuts were thin on the ground last year, the biggest seller was Bradley Walsh (!!!!), but then album sales in general are falling. If they've made it, they should just have released it alongside one of the hits but I suppose in this day and age when they need time to build it's hard to know when to drop the album but you don't know if it will be a hit I guess :/

Posted by: RobBob 11th January 2017, 02:34 PM

I've read rumours that a big Martin Garrix x Dua Lipa is coming, which they're banking on to be a big hit. I have no idea if this is the case.

Posted by: Danuary 11th January 2017, 02:41 PM

Lmao another pushback? They really should've released it whilst 'Blow Your Mind' was doing reasonably well.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🕊 11th January 2017, 08:25 PM

</3

This collaboration is true. Martin premiered it on NYE in Myanmar, but I think she's referring to another collaborations in her tweet (re: 'exciting collaborations that are in the works').

Posted by: Martyn 11th January 2017, 11:32 PM

This is a bit like Samantha Jade's album which ended up missing off a bunch of singles.

Posted by: mdh 11th January 2017, 11:38 PM

!!!!!!

Posted by: ___∆___ 12th January 2017, 12:38 AM

This is like Stooshe - They had a big hit with 'Black Heart' then the follow up faltered which resulted in the album being delayed multiple times, getting track changes, a cover change etc., the full album leaked before release. The album was eventually released and reached #8 and quickly disappeared (As did the bands record deal).

They have removed the 2 instant grat tracks from iTunes but streaming hasn't caught up yet and they are still available on Apple etc.,

I guess the glimmer of hope is 'No Lie' is currently #13 and if it gets the 59p treatment on Friday it could push it Top 10, 'Be The One' is #41 - even if these both become hits it may not be enough to launch the album to record company standards, they are clearly going after huge platinum Top 5 smashes and have high expectations for the album which I doubt will be met regardless of when it's released.

'Hotter Than Hell' went gold and 'Blow Your Mind' silver however as said above when the album is finally released both will be a year + old and forgotten.

Posted by: ___∆___ 17th January 2017, 05:08 PM

Could the album campaign be saved? Looks like 2 big hits are on the way...

13 No Lie
17 Be The One

Both reduced to 59p on Friday could result in a double Top 10 entry!

Posted by: JosephStyles 17th January 2017, 05:20 PM

I knew it was too early to write Be the One off, it's bound to be a-listed on Radio 1 soon and have the 59p treatment. They need to put it on the big Spotify playlists now, which will hopefully be done ASAP because it's clearly got the potential to be bigger than Mwah!

Posted by: Hadji 17th January 2017, 05:23 PM

How many times is she gonna change the release date? First 10th February, now 2nd June

Extending the album date even further is a stupid idea tbh.

Posted by: Martyn 17th January 2017, 10:43 PM

Radio 1 are going to play the hell out of Be The One.

Posted by: Tinasha 18th January 2017, 05:33 PM

Be The One is looking to be pretty big for Dua, it just needs a bump to the A list for a week or 2 from Radio 1 and then Hot Hits UK to add it to their playlist to push it.

Posted by: ___∆___ 19th January 2017, 02:09 AM

Seems like holding the album back was a great decision after all - they would have been releasing on the back of Top 15 and Top 30 singles and now potentially will be releasing off the back of two Top 10 hits!

Posted by: liamk97 19th January 2017, 02:12 AM

I'd say they got damn lucky rather than made a good decision.

Plus the album is still like half a year away.

Posted by: Liаm 19th January 2017, 02:57 AM

The thing is they'll need to bank on her getting another hit to launch the album now. If they pushed it back just a month, they would have had what will presumably be two sizable hits on the go or just gone, which is better than nothing.

Posted by: Danuary 19th January 2017, 02:20 PM

'Be The One' would have left the chart by the time the album actually gets released if they're sticking to this date, they must be expecting the Martin Garrix collab to do well and release it off of that.

Posted by: Liаm 19th January 2017, 02:25 PM

That's out next week though, even presuming it takes around 2 months to take off like No Lie has, as a feature it's not going to sell the album well even if it was a really big hit. Be The One would have sold the album really well, I know they couldn't have known that she'd be looking at 2 hits when they pushed the album back but it's just typical she has both a feature and a solo hit taking off just after they pushed the album back a long way again

Posted by: Ryan. 19th January 2017, 06:31 PM

I don't think Dua would sell many albums even if she did get a top 5 hit or two beforehand. She needs an album out there for the singles to promote - perhaps a lower peak but more sales in the long run, for a new pop artist like her she will struggle to sell albums off the buzz of pre-album singles and it seems like she's going to run out of potential post-album singles.

Posted by: Tinasha 19th January 2017, 06:33 PM

I find that unless they're a well known artist, having hit singles is never really enough for an artist to sell an album without promo. Like I said before, a slot on Graham would sort her out in the album charts (so long as it was a decent performance).

Posted by: travis 19th January 2017, 06:35 PM

I want to swing on her label. The album just needs to be out already. And I guarantee you they've started scrapping songs to reshape the album again and make up for the push back. How annoying.

Posted by: ___∆___ 20th January 2017, 02:20 AM

'No Lie' and 'Be The One' both reduced to 59p and currently at #12 and #13 on iTunes

Posted by: HausofSZA 21st January 2017, 09:01 PM

Be The One to be another hit for her please

Her album really should've been out by now. She has a few songs out and radio seem to be on board so it seems like an optimum time. Either way, i'm excited for it whenever it comes ~

Posted by: cqmerqn 23rd January 2017, 04:30 PM

Can't see Be The One being a big hit officially. By the time streaming picks up its iTunes sales will be much lower I reckon.

Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd January 2017, 04:36 PM

Really? It's doing incredibly well and it's not on most of the big Spotify playlists yet. I think it's looking to be big, will certainly outpeak Mwah at the very least...

Posted by: ___∆___ 24th January 2017, 12:45 AM

Big gains for both tracks in today's mids - No Lie #11 and Be The One #22.

Hopefully No Lie will get her a Top 10 hit and it looks as though Be The One will go Top 20 officially at least

Posted by: MrLoverboy 24th January 2017, 11:09 AM

Just got into Be The One now! Hope it's a big hit for her

Posted by: Inna Selez 24th January 2017, 09:05 PM

Waiting for Friday release "Scared to be alone" in collab with Martin Garrix.

Posted by: ___∆___ 25th January 2017, 02:40 AM

Coming for 3 tracks in the Top 10 next week!

Potentially launching the album on the back of 3 sizable hits is incredible compared to how things were looking a few weeks ago

Posted by: Davidson 25th January 2017, 03:47 PM

The fact this has been pushed back to June when she has two songs in the iTunes top 5 is ridiculous.

The label need to pull themselves together.

Posted by: Tinasha 25th January 2017, 03:53 PM

June is quite extreme, but is certainly wiser than February, but I pushing it back to March or April would have been best.

If she includes the collabs there's going to be so many hits on this album;

Be The One
Hotter Than Hell
Blow Your Mind
No Lie
Scared To Be Alone
[Probable next single]

Posted by: Liаm 25th January 2017, 03:58 PM

To be fair they didn't know this would happen a couple of weeks ago, although I think if they looked at it logically Martin Garrix debuted top 10 with Bebe Rexha and the Sean Paul collab was climbing and was probably a safe bet to be a hit. Plus Be The One is such a brilliant song it had to do something surely? They should have had a bit of faith and just pushed it back a little bit to March or April, I agree.

Posted by: *Tim 25th January 2017, 04:24 PM

Blow your mind was a hit?

Posted by: Tinasha 25th January 2017, 04:28 PM

hmmmm, I'd say it was I think. It's sold like 260k and spent about 8 weeks top 40, not as big as Hotter Than Hell though of course.

Posted by: Davidson 25th January 2017, 04:44 PM

There would be no reason for her to put 'No Lie' on her album. Unless she does a Part 2, it is way too much Sean and not enough Dua to make the tracklist.

Posted by: *Tim 25th January 2017, 04:56 PM

Oh mess, I thought it was like a #73 smash 😂😂

Posted by: HausofSZA 25th January 2017, 04:59 PM

I NEED THIS ALBUM NOW. Come ON

Posted by: JosephStyles 25th January 2017, 05:14 PM

I'd quite like it to be on the deluxe edition, like Not Letting Go was on Jess's album!

Posted by: ___∆___ 26th January 2017, 12:47 AM

I think she would be mad not to include it - it looks like it will become her first Top 10 hit this week and it's certainly won't hurt sales of her album to include another hit to it.

Posted by: ___∆___ 27th January 2017, 12:07 AM

Epic collab with Martin Garrix out now - have a feeling this will be huge! Love the surge in relevance that Dua is getting right now

Posted by: The Sultan 27th January 2017, 03:08 PM

What genre is Be The One - breakbeat? Sounds great anyway.

Posted by: HarryEzra 27th January 2017, 05:08 PM

Its Tropical inspired Pop I would Say

Posted by: ___∆___ 27th January 2017, 07:29 PM

Really hope they now decide to bring the album forward considering she's currently #4, #5 and #14 on iTunes with 3 different songs!

Posted by: mr_pmt 5th February 2017, 07:29 PM

I'm actually enjoying 'Be The One' now. I didn't care for it at all the first time around.

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th February 2017, 03:16 PM

They seriously need to bring the album forward to capitalize on the sudden surge in interest - She's on course to have 3 Top 20 singles this week and an album release in 2-3 weeks would be perfect (Actually it would have worked if they had just kept with the Feb 10th release date and the singles would have helped keep album sales stable).

She now has 5 hits from the album assuming the tracks with Martin and Sean get included - If she releases another single from the album before its June release date with the instant grat tracks we already have she's practically released the entire album with no further hits to sustain sales #Messy

Posted by: TMD_24 6th February 2017, 07:56 PM

Another single is on the way and it's going to be fun!

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th February 2017, 08:04 PM

I hope she has a sackful of new songs for the album lined up then seeing as we already have Be The One, New Love, Last Dance, No Lie, Scared To Be Lonely, Hotter Than Hell, Blow Your Mind, Thinking 'Bout You and Room For 2!

Posted by: Kye 6th February 2017, 11:08 PM

Whoa, I can't believe the album is out in June.. I genuinely thought it was going to be coming sooner, I'm seeing her with her own headline show in April?!

Posted by: Tinasha 6th February 2017, 11:12 PM

I guess they need to ride the success of Be The One for a while longer, so that even if the next single isn't as big, she still has that to help sell the album, Be The One sounds like much more of an album seller than Hotter Than Hell.

Posted by: ___∆___ 7th February 2017, 03:34 AM

Was meant to be released in September 2016, then February 2017 (It was pushed back about 3 weeks before 'No Lie' and 'Be The One' started to take off) and now the release date is June 2nd There is every possibility the new single could flop and NL, BTO and STBL will be out of the charts and HTH and BYM over a year old I really hope the colloboration she is talking about is a banger and smashes!

Posted by: mr_pmt 9th February 2017, 07:57 AM

My friend gave the best and most perfect description of her yesterday: "She's a walking BooHoo advert".

Posted by: cqmerqn 9th February 2017, 12:47 PM

true

Dua has tweeted that Wednesday is the current suggested day for the Thinking 'Bout You video release.

Posted by: Red Blooded Man 17th February 2017, 03:41 PM

I am glad that Be the One went to No.10, she so deserves a Top 10 hit it's overdue, frankly.

Posted by: ___∆___ 17th February 2017, 05:09 PM

Her chart history is certainly looking a lot more healthier than it was a few weeks ago! Plus 1 X Gold and 2 X Silver singles - Time for the album to slay us all.

#15 Hotter Than Hell
#30 Blow Your Mind (Mwah)
#10 No Lie (Sean Paul feat. Dua Lipa)
#09 Be The One
#14 Scared To Be Lonely (Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa)

Posted by: Red. 19th February 2017, 03:11 PM

The Detsky remix of Be The One is fantastic. Bit gutted it's not on Spotify lol

Posted by: lewistgreen 24th February 2017, 08:13 PM

It's been released today

Posted by: cqmerqn 24th February 2017, 08:24 PM

The album should've been released this month whilst Be The One was at its peak.

Posted by: Red. 24th February 2017, 08:52 PM

Ha! Nice one

Posted by: ___∆___ 24th February 2017, 09:57 PM

I really thought 'Scared To Be Lonely' was going to be a smash but it's gone 23-14-14-16 so far which is decent but I thought it would easily be Top 5. Maybe with 3 songs out it was Dua overload.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌊 12th April 2017, 07:54 AM

Posted by: Bjork 12th April 2017, 08:27 AM

but no Scared to be Lonely??

Posted by: Tinasha 12th April 2017, 08:59 AM

Or No Lie?

Posted by: Irn Broot 12th April 2017, 09:19 AM

I think she has enough singles on there. There's only four tracks on the standard that haven't been released!

I will be waiting for Hadji to say "She should have put Scared to be Lonely and No Lie on there"

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌊 12th April 2017, 09:50 AM

Personally, I'm glad that "No Lie" and "Scared to Be Lonely" weren't included. I know that she has a co-credit in the latter and it's one of her most streamed songs, besides "Be the One", though.

Anyway, I'm wondering if "IDGAF" is the other track with a collaborator if it's considered that she mentioned that there were two (right?) and "Lost In Your Light" is one of them, which features Miguel.

Posted by: Bjork 12th April 2017, 10:20 AM

I wouldn't have put No Lie (doesn't fit imho) but Scared should be in there, as that's a proper hit that has connected with people and is still doing well everywhere in the world

Posted by: Ryan. 12th April 2017, 09:26 PM

Agreed there's no need to put No Lie on there as she is only a feature and as people say, she has enough singles on there as it is. I do think Scared To Be Lonely could've at least been tagged on the end though purely for the fact she has joint lead credit on that one.

Posted by: (Zach) 13th April 2017, 12:42 AM

I actually disagree regarding No Lie, I don't think it would've hurt to add it. It's her highest peaking single in some countries. Even if it is just a feature, she's prominent enough on it for it to be passable.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌊 13th April 2017, 09:44 PM

She revealed at her London show that the other collaborator is Chris Martin from Coldplay. (!!!)

From https://twitter.com/Dianna1985/status/852624859511357441:

Posted by: Tinasha 14th April 2017, 08:55 PM

I saw her last night, and despite never hearing it before, Want To was a huge highlight, and had a great reaction. I don't know why it hasn't made the album at all... much better than Room and Thinking.

I also don't see the harm of adding both No Lie and STBL as deluxe tracks at the end. The more songs people recognise the more likely people will be to want to buy the album as a package.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌊 15th April 2017, 08:57 PM

"Genesis" (Acoustic Version / See In Blue documentary)

Posted by: Bjork 16th April 2017, 06:54 AM

wow never expected a duet with chris martin! but why not release it as lead single then?

Posted by: dandy* 18th April 2017, 05:24 PM

Aside from it feeling like the first single would have been recorded about six years ago or something by now, I suspect the Chris Martin duet is far more recent in recording after she has had a few hits to her name.

Plus, duets or collaborations with people more famous than the main act are rarely released first from a project, they tend to get the single treatment later on down the life cycle of the album as releasing them first feels almost like admitting that you're not good enough to stand on your own merits...

Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 20th April 2017, 06:14 PM

Standard tracklist according to iTunes NZ:

1 Genesis
2 Lost In Your Light (feat. Miguel)
3 Hotter Than Hell
4 Be the One
5 IDGAF
6 Blow Your Mind (Mwah)
7 Garden
8 No Goodbyes
9 Thinking 'Bout You
10 New Rules
11 Begging
12 Homesick

Deluxe tracklist hasn't updated (yet) but I assume she won't leave off New Love and Last Dance entirely? (and Room For 2)

Posted by: Ultra💚🚦🐱 20th April 2017, 06:22 PM

Room For 2/New Love/Last Dance are all on the deluxe + 2 more songs

How did she not release New Rules?!?!

Posted by: jjake 2nd June 2017, 11:21 AM

she's been so dreadfully mismanaged by her a&r to the point it's just not going to happen...'new rules' is exactly the way the whole project should have gone...this is such a lesson of old men working at record labels and not getting how it is in 2017...

Posted by: BridgeCow 2nd June 2017, 11:24 AM

I can't even imagine why they decided that??

...who hasn't had a top 40 since the absolutely shite '#BEAUTIFUL' in 2013 with Mariah Carey - which everyone's probably rightfully forgotten about :')

Times like this when I feel like us on Buzzjack could do a far better job than her actual label

Posted by: Jay ☆ 2nd June 2017, 12:14 PM

I haven't forgotten about the utterly sublime #Beautiful. x

Posted by: 360Jupiter 2nd June 2017, 01:22 PM

Her album is a funny animal. Some good songs but I'd assumed it was delayed because they were gonna stick on more tracks like Be The One and Scared to Be Lonely after the success of those... but nope!

So far liking Genesis.

Just adding in my vote for #Beautiful as a great song too :3 speaking as a non-Mariah fan anyway

Posted by: jase. 2nd June 2017, 09:53 PM

Same It's one of Mariah's best songs

I echo everything which has been said about New Rules. Why that wasn't the next single after the success of BTO is just beyond me :/

Here's how she's doing on iunes -

63. Lost In Your Light (feat. Miguel)
68. Be the One
76. New Rules

227. Blow Your Mind (Mwah)
234. Hotter Than Hell
235. Homesick
466. Genesis
512. No Goodbyes

939. Last Dance

1141. Begging
1398. Dreams

New Rules has to be one of the biggest missed opportunities in recent memory, Lost In Your Light over that?! I guess it could be post album but there's not much point at this point, it would be single 7 !!

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 3rd June 2017, 10:14 AM

Absolutely

Posted by: Jack 3rd June 2017, 11:39 AM

I still think she could get another bit, I think the album will do really well and people just seem to be really receptive of her. I think New Rules would be a rare post album hit tbh!

Posted by: Red Blooded Man 3rd June 2017, 01:49 PM

Will give it a few listens next week but the track list reads like an early Greatest Hits Album.

Posted by: Kye 3rd June 2017, 02:15 PM

'New Rules' is in Apple Music's hot songs?

Posted by: Cameron 3rd June 2017, 09:29 PM

The biggest mistake since Foxes not releasing Cruel as the follow up to Body Talk!

Posted by: MrLoverboy 5th June 2017, 11:36 AM

I was joking with this exactly. Why they felt the need to release a song with Miguel thinking it would do wonders for her I will never understand.

Love this performance! The chorus is alive and her vocals are so goooood <3

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌊 13th June 2017, 03:17 PM

She's currently in Miami shooting two music videos. One of them is "My Love", her collaboration with Wale, Major Lazer and WizKid, and the other is presumably to be "New Rules".

Posted by: Cameron 13th June 2017, 08:08 PM

it better be.

Posted by: HausofSZA 20th June 2017, 03:17 PM

Ngl, I was pretty underwhelmed on first listen. Nothing stood out to me and the ordering was a complete shambles.

I've since re-ordered mine to match the UK standard edition and it works so much better. It's also all growing on me as a complete package - the singles are obviously all incredible but there are other wonderful moments dotted throughout too.

Officially excited to be seeing her live later this year and so glad the album is doing decently for her!

No shade to LIYL, it's a complete and utter BEAUTY.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 23rd June 2017, 11:55 AM

Do we think she might get a slot on The X Factor live shows? It'd be the perfect moment for a New Rules performance.

Posted by: Kye 23rd June 2017, 12:03 PM

I think she'd definitely be able to bag a slot these days. It might be a bit late for New Rules, though. The live shows don't usually start until around October.

Posted by: Davidson 5th July 2017, 11:53 AM

Finally got round to listening to this, all the push-backs kinda killed my hype for this at the time but it is actually a really great record. I think the fact that I had heard so much of it before the release put me off a tad too.

I forgot how much I really loved the singles too. I have hardly returned to them much myself (apart from the majestic Be The One), but they really are such strong pop songs. This album is packed with such strong pop melodies all round for sure.

The album up until 'No Goodbyes' is incredible for me and then it gets a tad more mixed, despite some amazing highlights like 'Garden'. I seem to be on a different wavelength from most though as everyone seems to be stanning for 'New Rules' and 'Begging' when, although they are very strong, they just feel a tad more generic and formulaic for me.

09.0 Genesis
09.5 Last Dance
08.5 Hotter Than Hell
11.0 Be The One
08.0 IDGAF
09.5 Blow My Mind (Mwah)
08.0 New Love
09.0 No Goodbyes
07.5 Thinking 'Bout You
03.5 Room For 2
08.5 Lost In Your Light (feat. Miguel)
08.5 Bad Together
10.0 Garden
04.0 Dreams
07.5 New Rules
07.5 Begging
07.0 Homesick

Posted by: HarryEzra 5th July 2017, 12:48 PM

Yes Davidson stan Garden that is one of my personal favorites I don't think I have seen much love for it so I am glad I am not alone

Posted by: liamk97 5th July 2017, 01:10 PM

It's hard to know what extent I like this album to. Obviously the Holy Trinity of 'Hotter Than Hell', 'Blow Your Mind (Mwah)' and 'Be the One' are all incredibly good pop songs, but everything else is lacks that same punch and vary from pretty good to complete bore fests. It doesn't help that the tracking list feels like it's in a total mess; there's just little to no flow between the tracks and I don't feel like I'm being taken on a audible journey.

I like 'Genesis', 'Lost in Your Light', 'Garden', 'New Rules', 'Begging' and 'Room For 2' so, including the three aforementioned singles, that's a good chunk of the album, but when you consider there's 17 tracks in total, that's a lot of songs also left dotted in between the good moments which drags the album down. Maybe I need to re-imagine the tracking list with the songs I like and see if that improves the album as a body of work rather than a load of songs chucked together.

Posted by: BridgeCow 15th July 2017, 07:43 PM

I've been listening to this quite a bit lately, so I feel like doing a rate

07.0 Genesis
07.5 Lost In Your Light This has grown on me quite a bit, but I still don't love it
09.5 Hotter Than Hell
09.0 Be The One
09.0 IDGAF
08.0 Blow Your Mind (Mwah)
08.5 Garden
06.5 No Goodbyes
07.0 Thinking 'Bout You
09.5 New Rules
10.0 Begging I didn't realise how much I liked this
05.0 Homesick
07.5 Dreams
08.5 Room For 2
06.5 New Love
09.0 Bad Together
10.0 Last Dance

Such a strong album tbh

Posted by: Marty 16th July 2017, 10:02 AM

Sounds a lot like Ella Henderson on quite a few tracks, but with better/more 'contemporary' songs.
I like it.

01 Genesis
02 Be The One
03 Hotter Than Hell
04 Blow Your Mind (Mwah)

06 Garden
07 Scared To Be Lonely (Joe Mason Remix)
08 New Rules
09 Last Dance
10 Homesick
11 Begging
12 Bad Together
13 No Goodbyes

I think this is a much stronger track listing for the album, it feels much more coherent like this for me but still feels quite varied.

Posted by: Tyler 13th August 2017, 12:32 AM

Not including 'Room For 2' is unacceptable

Posted by: dandy* 13th August 2017, 12:56 AM

Room for 2 hasn't clicked with me at all yet I'm afraid!

Posted by: Tyler 13th August 2017, 01:29 AM

It's lyrics hit close to home for me, so I guess that helps. The chorus is so soothing, I adore it.

Posted by: Liаm 13th August 2017, 01:32 AM

The lack of IDGAF is more concerning to me </3 I don't *much* care for Room For 2 either

This!!

Posted by: dandy* 13th August 2017, 01:02 PM

IDGAF is an odd one for me, I particularly like the bridge but then the chorus absolutely kills any love I have for it... I'm not keen on it lyrically and the way she delivers it just doesn't work for me. I can however see why it would appeal to some people on here, it wouldn't actually surprise me if she went for it as a single either.

Posted by: George.keh 13th August 2017, 07:06 PM

The success of New Rules makes me wonder if they will get another single out of this album. I would personally love a re-release of Last Dance or Thinking Bout You to be made a single

Posted by: Ryan. 13th August 2017, 08:36 PM

The only choice for me is Homesick with X Factor performance, at a push I suppose they could do Begging but I think Homesick and then era over.

Posted by: burbe 13th August 2017, 08:40 PM

Last Dance re-release pls

Also so thrilled at New Rules truly SMASHING the charts <3

Posted by: Liаm 13th August 2017, 08:52 PM

I'd be happy with a Last Dance re-release <3

Posted by: Jack 13th August 2017, 08:56 PM

I'd want to see Dreams, Bad Together, Genesis or Begging. I don't want another re-release tbh.

Posted by: Davidson 13th August 2017, 09:10 PM

Genesis, Bad Together or even IDGAF could be potential singles I think if they really wanted to continue the campaign.

It might be worth trying one more single anyway with a potential #1 on the way.

Posted by: John-James 13th August 2017, 09:52 PM

Last Dance is the only song left that has the potential to smash

Posted by: Red. 15th August 2017, 01:25 AM

This is such a good album! Only listened to it twice a few months apart and there is not one song I dislike. Hopefully we have at least one more single to come as their is still a good few songs that should be picked.

Posted by: Liаm 15th August 2017, 02:25 AM

I think this is my album of the year, at first I was like "oh all this wait for that", just because of the 84 pushbacks really, but a lot of the songs were slowburners for me, plus Hotter Than Hell and New Rules are undoubtedly two of the best pop songs of recent years. It's such a fab debut album, she has her hands in a few pies but they're cohesive and similar enough to taste delicious altogether as a package.

I'd be happy with Last Dance as I said as a re-release but there are other opportunities for something not yet released, I think Homesick with an X Factor perf would be ideal actually, great idea. That, Genesis, IDGAF or Bad Together seem like obvious choices and they may as well go for something else given New Rules has been huge, to sell more albums, esepcially as she'd probably be in time for an XF slot by the time NR dies down and there's a video out for the next single etc.

Also, I was thinking it'd be fab if she was on a massive dance banger #1 with Clean Bandit or Calvin Harris to tide us over to the next era too *.* Ik we had Scared To Be Lonely but that was future bass, imagine her on something like the Calvin remix of Spectrum by Florence & The Machine or Symphony or Tears or Rockabye by Clean Bandit?! *.*

Posted by: blacksquare 15th August 2017, 08:17 AM

Very similar to mine. I couldn't get into it at all because I was listening to the deluxe and it was just too clogged down with too many tracks and too many ballads. Funny that you're using the same Joe Mason remix too.

01 Genesis
02 Be the One
03 Hotter Than Hell
04 IDGAF
05 Blow Your Mind (Mwah)
06 Lost in Your Light
07 Scared to Be Lonely (Joe Mason Remix)
08 Bad Together
09 Room for 2
10 New Rules
11 Last Dance
12 Begging
13 Homesick

Posted by: White Mustang 15th August 2017, 09:14 AM

I'm looking forward with what they do with her in Q4 off the back of New Rules. I hear the label have extended the budget on her so I think we'll get another single, probably a remixed one. It'd be great if she got a performance on X Factor, I could see the album selling decently over Christmas.

Also, Best British Female Brit nomination???

Posted by: Klaus 15th August 2017, 10:03 AM

I just can't get over the difference in success between New Rules and Lost In Your Light, considering the latter was basicallly designed/intended to give her a full breakthrough.

Posted by: John-James 15th August 2017, 10:07 AM

Lost In Your Light is absolute garbage, I can't quite believe her label even thought that would do anything

Posted by: Jack 15th August 2017, 10:28 AM

Lost In Your Light is decent as an album track, but nothing else. Should never have been a single.

Posted by: Liаm 15th August 2017, 01:18 PM

I love Lost In Your Light but it never was and never will be a good single choice, it feels like sort of 2009, all those people like VV Brown or MPHO who just never really got off the ground

Posted by: Jonjo 15th August 2017, 01:53 PM

This album is getting better for me with each listen.

I think I'm starting to believe the hype.

Posted by: Jade 16th August 2017, 02:18 AM

Listening to this album in full for the first time for the rate and I'm hooked on 'Garden' so far out of the songs I didn't already know was hoping for at least one additional proper 10/10 gem aside from the singles that I like and it looks like I've already found that. Already counting 4 10/10s on top of my 11 ('Last Dance'), didn't realise quite how much I was into what she has to offer. Such a refreshing new mainstream act~

Posted by: Liаm 16th August 2017, 02:50 AM

Omg I feel like the only one who's not overly keen on Garden :/

Posted by: Jonjo 16th August 2017, 07:28 AM

I'm not too keen either tbh. I don't know if it's just the quality of the other tracks, but I think it's my least fave!

Posted by: Jay ☆ 17th August 2017, 08:33 PM

I'm not overly keen on Garden either. It's nice enough to listen to, but I'd definitely file it under "wouldn't miss it if it wasn't included in the track list"!

I really like Lost In Your Light! Obviously it was proven to be a bad single choice given how it performed (although it did set up the album to enter the UK Top 5, so maybe it served its purpose to that extent). I'd say Miguel shines on this track more than Dua does though.



When it comes to the classification of the singles from 'Dua Lipa' there seems to be some inconsistency/confusion... I'd go with the following, which is how her Wiki page lists them:

1. New Love
2. Be The One (later re-released between Blow Your Mind & Lost In Your Light)
3. Last Dance
4. Hotter Than Hell
5. Blow Your Mind (Mwah)
6. Lost In Your Light
7. New Rules

I wouldn't consider Be The One as being a 2nd and 6th single. I regard it as the 2nd single that was given another push later on in the campaign. Therefore I regard New Rules as her 7th single and the next single would be 8th (if it's a brand new choice... if she went with a Last Dance re-release, again like Be The One I'd just think of it as the 3rd single that was given a new lease of life!)

Posted by: burbe 17th August 2017, 08:39 PM

I hope Garden gets released to spite you haters

Posted by: JosephStyles 17th August 2017, 08:42 PM

Garden is great! I think I'd put it as my third favourite non-single, behind IDGAF and Homesick.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 17th August 2017, 08:43 PM

I too hope it's released, and that it stalls at #94 to prove its doubters right x

but seriously I feel that'd be such a fail of a choice, please don't consider it Dua! If she insists on a slower single next, I'd opt for Homesick. I honestly feel that Last Dance has the best potential to be big in a post-"New Rules, peak: #1" world - give the public another "woo a bop" moment. *.*

Posted by: burbe 17th August 2017, 08:50 PM

Jay

Last Dance is probably the best option tho. Keep giving the public the bangers *.*

Posted by: liamk97 22nd August 2017, 03:46 PM

At least another two singles to come, apparently: http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/dua-lipas-debut-album-has-at-least-another-two-singles-to-come-says-label-boss__20027/

omg it really is going to be a Greatest Hits album!

Posted by: John-James 22nd August 2017, 05:36 PM

Last Dance to smash in October and November and then a X-Factor performance of Homesick in December just when Last Dance hits ACR

Posted by: George.keh 22nd August 2017, 05:39 PM

I think Bad Together would be an amazing single choice with Homesick to tie the era off

Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd August 2017, 05:42 PM

Last Dance is probably the next single

Posted by: burbe 22nd August 2017, 07:07 PM

So ready for at least two more singles *.* I'm so glad it looks like they're going to really invest in her now!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 23rd August 2017, 09:50 AM

It honestly seems to me that she has Zara's problem now, in that she's exhausted all the real true single material and is left with a bunch of filler rather than killer to choose from.

Posted by: White Mustang 23rd August 2017, 09:51 AM

Oh I think there's plenty of songs that could be hits, her album is on the whole a lot stronger than Zara's.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 27th August 2017, 04:53 AM

Comparing her album to So Good is a choice indeed.

Posted by: lewistgreen 1st September 2017, 12:57 PM

BPI have recently confirmed that the album has gone Silver selling over 60,000 copies

Posted by: burbe 1st September 2017, 10:04 PM

It's consistently selling each week with New Rules smashing so hopefully should easily make Gold too!

Posted by: Josh! 1st September 2017, 10:34 PM

Never heard anything outside of the singles but just left my Spotify on and something new starting playing and I was bopping and then I looked it up and it was "Genesis" which I'd never heard before. I've always though the album tracklist looked really boring and dull but New Rules has got me excited about her again and now I've made this new discovery, tempted to give the album a listen now...

Posted by: MrLoverboy 2nd September 2017, 04:31 AM

Genesis really is amazing and a perfect album opener. It doesn't get enough love here.

Posted by: jafetsigfinns 5th September 2017, 10:42 AM

a re-release of "Last Dance" and then maybe "Bad Together" to finish the album off and I'm happy!

Posted by: lewistgreen 5th September 2017, 11:18 AM

I'd love a Last Dance re-release! My favourite single from her

Posted by: White Mustang 8th October 2017, 10:29 AM

Italian version with Bang Bang 20th of Oct.

Posted by: John-Maims 💀 13th October 2017, 09:38 PM

Just got back from seeing her live! An amazing show as expected. It was a big no no for me at first but after hearing 'IDGAF' live I'm convinced it would work as a single like others have said

Posted by: SeanmanjiGrey 27th October 2017, 02:54 PM

Certified gold! Fantastic achievement for an act of her calibre!

Posted by: HobDoblin 30th October 2017, 02:29 PM

Indeed! Looks like after all the fallout from delaying the album forever it all ended up smelling of roses anyway

Nominated for British Album of the Year at the 2017 BBC Music Awards.

Posted by: THEO. 21st November 2017, 10:40 PM

That is huge! *_* I'm sure she hasn't a chance of winning but if that sets her up for a Brit nomination too then she'll get great Q1 exposure, possibly a return to the top five if "IDGAF" is timed right.

She's also been announced to perform the Top of the Pops Christmas specials, I'm predicting "Be the One" for Christmas Day and "New Rules" for New Year's Eve.

Bad Together is creeping up on me recently. What a song!!!

Posted by: travis 12th February 2018, 10:42 PM

I think a good plan for her at this point would be to re-release Last Dance with a big push worldwide, then push a re-release of the album (maybe a double disc?) with Bang Bang and 3-5 other new songs. I imagine she probably has a handful of other songs from this album's recording sessions that would work.

Posted by: Dexton 13th February 2018, 01:05 AM

Re-releasing Last Dance could work but it’s already been a hit in some places and I feel like it’s success would be very limited anywhere other than the UK. I also feel like she’d be better off ending this campaign after IDGAF and moving on swiftly. I love the album but she started the self titled album campaign in 2015, if she did a full re-release it would likely come October time with a new single and extend the album campaign to pretty much 4 years in length (2015-2019).

I’d rather her be quiet as a solo artist for a few months after IDGAF has faded out and come back late July/August with something huge like New Rules. Between now & then a couple of features would help keep her name big and allow for a successful beginning to DL2.

Posted by: Scene 13th February 2018, 12:31 PM

^ Yeah I agree, preferably IDGAF will be the last single from DL - ending the campaign on a high. After the BRITs she should go back into the studio and get to work in creating a worthy follow-up. Be The One and New Rules onwards have really set the groundwork for a potentially massive second album if it comes before the hype dies down - late 2018/early 2019 would be best to take advantage of TV promo.

Posted by: Botchia 13th February 2018, 01:34 PM

I don’t think Last Dance did much anywhere though? Either way, I’m not convinced it would be the right choice. I think Begging would finish the era off nicely and be another cute top 20 for her. In reality we’ll probably get Homesick

Posted by: Theo. 19th February 2018, 08:01 PM

#4 in today's midweeks! And with four more days AND the Brits boost coming, a new peak is almost guarranteed.

I hope she gets a huge boost from the Brits! She deserves it!

Posted by: Joe. 19th February 2018, 08:53 PM

Can't see this posted anywhere, but I've just watched this video on the Radio 1 YouTube page where Dua reflects on the success of the album era. Really interesting watch and it's great to see Dua's passion for music come through, particularly when she speaks about 'New Rules' and the messages she conveyed.

She mentioned on Twitter that this will be wrapping up at the end of the year, so looks like there will be a re-release or a standalone EP.

Posted by: Joe. 26th August 2018, 10:16 AM

I think it’s a re-release!

Posted by: Klaus 27th August 2018, 08:19 AM

Bad move if they’re still continuing with the era through a re-release imo. This era has been going on forever and dragging it out even more, unnecessarily, means that there’s less hype for the second era. It seems to happen to lots of artists where a protacted first era leads to a less successful than expected second era.

If Electricty sounds like a hit, they should push that hard over autumn/Q4 just to tide things over until the second era.

Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 2nd September 2018, 07:47 PM

If a re-release or a standalone EP are going to happen, it seems that it's scheduled to be released next month.

From https://twitter.com/ultrasubversive/status/1036323937293090816:

That said, "Electricity" isn't going to be there because it's a track from Silk City, but the rest of the four songs are.

Posted by: Joe. 3rd September 2018, 08:43 AM

Blackpink is a surprising collab I must say!

Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 3rd September 2018, 06:10 PM

This is going to be re-released on October 19. The aforementioned new songs (excluding "One Kiss" and "Electricity", I assume) will be on there.

Posted by: John-James 3rd September 2018, 08:43 PM

Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 4th September 2018, 04:03 AM

To complement this, it's going to be a double disc re-release. No information about the tracklisting yet, but I hope Dua will do this in a couple of hours.

Posted by: Dexton 4th September 2018, 04:33 AM

One Kiss should definitely be included I think, it’s her biggest hit to date (or at least second after New Rules) and she is on it as a joint credit.

Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 4th September 2018, 04:57 AM

She mentioned that "One Kiss" was going to be included on her second album when she was interviewed by a Brazilian TV show. I think that one and "Electricity" make more sense in the upcoming album (if the latter is planned to be included of course) rather than the first one, aside that the former is one of her biggest hits as you mentioned. However, there's a possibility that any or both of them will be included as well.

Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 4th September 2018, 06:03 AM

Scrap the aforementioned because she confirmed that "One Kiss" and "Electricity", plus "No Lie" and "Scared to be Lonely", are going to be included in the re-release.

Posted by: Theo. 4th September 2018, 07:43 AM

I wish she'd done new artwork for the re-release but I do like the effect on the background. I just think it's a really unflattering photo of her:



Full order of the new tracks:

1. "Want to"
2. "Running"
3. "Kiss and Make Up" (with Blackpink)
4. "One Kiss" (with Calvin Harris)
5. "Electricity" (with Silk City)
6. "Scared to Be Lonely" (with Martin Garrix)
7. "No Lie" (with Sean Paul)
8. "New Rules" (Live)

Has she performed "Running" or "Kiss and Make Up" anywhere before? I'm surprised she didn't include "High" on this as well just so that all her released songs to date can be heard in one place. I'm a bit apprehensive about the Blackpink collab because I know nothing about them and CHVRCHES' recent collaboration with a K-pop artist is a mess.

It does seem a bit pointless overall though, the features all following one another in order in particular as they all have completely different sounds but I'm glad that "Scared to Be Lonely" will finally feature as it's one of the first songs of hers that I properly loved. I think if she'd left it until 2019/20 to include "One Kiss" on an album, it would've been too late so I'm glad that she's not dragging it on any longer.

Posted by: Joe. 4th September 2018, 09:59 AM

I knew One Kiss would be on it it. It would have made 0 sense to do a re-release and not put one of the biggest hits of the year on it, and save it for the album in a year when the song was very old news.

Posted by: Liаm 4th September 2018, 11:52 AM

Blackpink are SO good, I can't wait for their collab!





Wednesday Campanella (Japanese ) is a bit more... out there for want of a better word, so isn't really a comparison at all I think they'll fit very well with Dua, they make great pop bangers. I'm pretty sure 2 or 3 speak English too (maybe all 4 of them even) so it will probably run smoothly in English, although it could be a bilingual track to help Dua make more waves in Asia I suppose.

Posted by: liamk97 4th September 2018, 01:19 PM

Agreed, it gives me Jess Glynne album cover vibes. Plus her look has changed since then so would make sense to capture that with a new artwork.

Posted by: Joe. 4th September 2018, 02:39 PM

Not at least bothering with a new cover is lazy AF, especially given how LONG this era has been.



(This even misses out New Love and Be The One (again))

Posted by: Dexton 4th September 2018, 03:46 PM

I'm glad she's throwing everything she has on it, meaning we'll be starting from scratch next year with her next album which is a good thing.

It would've been nice to have maybe an acoustic version of Scared To Be Lonely instead of the original, same goes for No Lie which will be almost 2 years old by the time this is released Just different versions of the really old stuff (like how theres a live version of New Rules) to stop it from basically becoming a dance album towards the end

Posted by: pippa 27th September 2018, 01:28 PM

It is good she has included all the songs.
This will likely give the album a huge sales boost in Q4.

Posted by: Theo. 16th October 2018, 02:55 PM

So the Complete Edition is finally released this Friday! I'm looking forward to hearing the two new songs as I've not listened to any of her unreleased demos.

Where do we think it'll chart next week? Streaming should be strong so I imagine it will rebound to the top 10 and hopefully sneak a week in the top 5.

Posted by: CardiiB 18th October 2018, 11:14 PM

The new songs are decent. Running feels like a good enough album track and obviously Want To is a bop
Hopefully Kiss and Make Up can take off WW, I have a feeling it will do pretty well with a good video and promo

Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 18th October 2018, 11:19 PM

"Kiss And Make Up" has been uploaded on her YouTube channel.

'Kiss And Make Up' is amazing.

Really hoping this can take off and propel BLACKPINK into the next big thing in the UK

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 18th October 2018, 11:29 PM

A potentially decent song ruined by sounding like generic Spotify fodder.

This is the kind of route I'm really hoping she doesn't go down for album 2.

Posted by: Hadji 20th October 2018, 01:21 PM

I swear “Kiss And Make Up” sounds very similar to another song which goes aye aye aye aye aye

Posted by: RobBob 20th October 2018, 02:22 PM

Oh, I am LOOOOOVING Kiss And Make Up

Posted by: Liаm 20th October 2018, 03:33 PM

Kiss and Make Up is such a banger, I hope it's the (presumably final) single

Posted by: JosephAvery 21st October 2018, 02:49 PM

Kiss and Make Up is GREAT!! Really hope it's pushed as a single

The other new songs are good to - Want To is pretty brilliant (I've been saving it for the re-issue to make it feel more worthwhile ) and Running is a great album-track type song too.

I don't think it sounds particularly like "generic Spotify fodder", it's just a 2018 pop song. There's plenty of identity and personality to make it stand out on a Spotify playlist I think, yet it slots in brilliantly with current trends.

(besides, I think I'd refer to stuff like Ay Caramba / Advice in the top 40 right now as "generic Spotify fodder" instead, the samey rap music that Spotify users seem to adore)

Posted by: The Feline Lorde 21st October 2018, 09:45 PM

Kiss and Make Up is such a bop

Would be nice to see it get a single push!

Kiss and Make Up is the trash bop we needed.

Posted by: blacksquare 22nd October 2018, 10:08 AM

Kiss and Make Up sounds like the 2018 version of a 2009-2012 pop song. I'm bopping tbh

(This whole release still seems pointless though)

Posted by: pippa 22nd October 2018, 03:55 PM

New edition is number 11 in the updated midweek chart information.

Posted by: Theo. 24th October 2018, 01:51 PM

I actually prefer "Running" over "Kiss and Make Up" by far - the latter sounds a lot more 'generic Spotify fodder' whereas the former (and "Want to") are very unique-sounding productions. I'm pleased that it looks like she'll have another hit from the album though - "Kiss and Make Up" is #35 in the midweeks and still climbing the Spotify chart.

A shame that the re-release won't be returning the album to the top 10 (yet) though, it's currently #12 in the midweeks dropping from #11 on Monday

Posted by: Theo. 25th October 2018, 12:13 PM

"Begging" has been remixed by adidas for their Statement collection:

Posted by: Theo. 26th October 2018, 04:40 PM

So this has actually climbed since the midweeks to #9 officially! I'm pleased with that - I don't think that this album necessarily needed a re-release but it feels nice that they've rounded off the era with all of her huge collabs and hopefully we'll hear something new from DL2 early in 2019!

Posted by: Theo. 28th October 2018, 12:46 PM

Well Done Dua! I guess that's what happens when your album has like 48 singles on it.

Posted by: Hexton 29th October 2018, 12:39 PM

13 out of 24 songs were singles overall then right? Combining New Rules (Live) with the original and assuming Kiss and Make Up is the final single

New Love, Room for 2, Thinkin' Bout You, and Want To were released as promo singles too bringing it up to 17/24

Dua performed "Homesick" at Los 40 Music Awards with Spanish singer Pablo Alborán earlier this week:



The song remains my least favourite across the entire 'Dua Lipa' double album but I admire that she is still forcing it down people's throats across the world, while she has new music to plug. I think it was a decent performance though and better than her performances of it here this time last year.

She also won the International Artist and Album of the Year awards which is impressive - she beat Ed Sheeran in the former category and Camila in the latter (who you'd assume would be more popular due to the common language).

That’s insane! Be The One released twice too!

The Complete Edition is coming out on vinyl on 7th December! It'll have all of the tracks included across 3 vinyl discs.

It's a shame they didn't change the cover, I already have it on vinyl grrr. The glittery cover might be cute though.

Getting the re release this week! I ordered it on Sunday but with Xmas it’ll come later in the week.

A great debut album and should pass 400K soon!

#22 this week in UK

110 weeks in the top 100 it’s never left. Streaming’s hugely helped but that longevity for a debut album by a pop artist and a female top is amazing

Anyone know the streaming sales for this? (And the paid for or where I could find it I’m intrigued to see how streaming’s helped it out). Z

#16 this week in UK!

The album should eventually make double platinum.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 23rd August 2019, 10:58 PM

The albums now spent 100 weeks in the UK Top 40

(non consecutive) but an amazing achievement non the less.

It’s never left the top 75 since release though.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 13th January 2020, 03:13 PM

Album is at #24 this week in the UK.

Still never left top 75 since it’s release over two years ago!

It was also the 19th biggest selling album of 2019 in the UK.

Homesick from this has really out of nowhere just CLICKED.

I seen this video from The Voice kids and I now can’t believe I really slept on it for so long. It’s such a lovely track now I’ve heard it more closely.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 29th March 2020, 06:21 PM

Already certified double platinum.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 30th March 2020, 12:40 AM

Where did this album peak at on sales charts?

I seem to have forgotten. I’m looking at its chart run now and it’s just incredible. The fact it has so many singles on it is obviously why it’s kept a float but for a 2017 album to still be top 40 and to never have left the chart is a great achievement tbh.

I also like this peaked ages after release too! Was it BRITs week that this climbed to #3?

Posted by: Jordan Lee 3rd April 2020, 05:00 PM

Also this is #19 on the albums this week.

the highest it’s been in 31 weeks.

Unstoppable

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 3rd April 2020, 06:14 PM

Glad its finally gone double platinum aswell as it felt like it took ages to get there, its just over 603,000 sales now in the UK.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 4th April 2020, 11:23 PM

It was also on the sales top 100 too at #69.

Idk when it was last in the sales top 100 as it was a re entry but nice to see it back:)

Posted by: Jordan Lee 8th April 2020, 10:45 AM

It’s also spent 97 weeks on the Billboard charts in the US!

Not bad going for a #27 peak

Posted by: Jay ☆ 8th April 2020, 11:22 AM

Its last appearance in the sales top 100 was 8th March 2019! This certainly demonstrates how strongly the album has relied on streaming over the past year.

On 15th March 2019 (when the album fell out of the sales chart) it was at #20 in the official album chart.

'Dua Lipa' peaked at #2 in the sales chart on 2nd March 2018, with The Greatest Showman being at #1. However in the official chart 'Dua Lipa' was at its peak position of #3, because Ed Sheeran - Divide was at #2. This was when IDGAF was in the Top 3.


2nd March 2018 - Pure Sales
#1 - 22,833 - The Greatest Showman
#2 - 9,835 - Dua Lipa
#3 - 8,840 - Ed Sheeran

2nd March 2018 - Combined Sales
#1 - 36,312 - The Greatest Showman
#2 - 15,229 - Ed Sheeran
#3 - 13,308 - Dua Lipa

Posted by: Jordan Lee 8th April 2020, 11:45 AM

Thanks for that info!

How ironic in a way that an album what’s gained so many weeks in the chart thanks to streaming also was denied a higher official peak because of streaming!

Posted by: Jay ☆ 8th April 2020, 12:54 PM

You're welcome *.*

These are just estimations, but I've worked out roughly what the format split for Dua Lipa's debut album could be:

162,400 - physical
55,700 - download
385,600 - streaming

#16 in UK this week.

And on sales only it was at #54!

Posted by: Nancy 🍾 10th April 2020, 08:39 PM

so what are top 3 most streamed albums?

Posted by: Jordan Lee 10th April 2020, 09:06 PM

Divide will likely be one of them

Posted by: RobBot 10th April 2020, 10:03 PM

Yeah:

1. Ed Sheeran - Divide
2. Post Malone - Beerbongs & Bentleys
3. Ed Sheeran - x

Posted by: Nancy 🍾 10th April 2020, 10:16 PM

Oh wow so she got the most female streamed album

I am sure FN will challenge that feat as well

Posted by: jordanlee1402 9th December 2022, 05:51 PM

For the first time since release this is no longer in the UK Top 100!

It did manage 287 consecutive weeks there though and will almost definitely return in the new year.

I wonder if she holds a record for most consecutive weeks since debut amongst females though.

Posted by: pippa 13th December 2022, 10:54 PM

It can't be far off if, not already holding the record

Posted by: JLJ 2nd April 2023, 05:39 PM

This has now managed a milestone 300 weeks on the albums chart in the UK.
