I'm starting to think she has it in the bag this week, unless you know who changes their shipping date at the last minute

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 :cheeseblock:

They've added a new 'transparent' pink cassette on the store now with the other pink one sold out

01 41,204 Dua Lipa - Dance the Night [526 CDs, 3,737 cassettes, 1,295 downloads, 35,646 streaming]

02 33,731 Billie Eilish - What Was I Made For?

 

Twenty-eight last Tuesday (August 22), Dua Lipa gets a slightly belated birthday present in the form of her fourth No.1, Dance The Night, while female solo artists maintain their grip on the chart for the second week in a row.

 

Reaching the summit on its 13th consecutive week in the Top 20, Dance The Night has had an uneven passage to the apex, moving 20-13-15-17-17-20-16-15-4-3-3-2-1, fading after a good start only to flourish anew when the Barbie film came out. In the whole of chart history, no other track has reached No.1 this late in its initial Top 20 run. Previous record holder The Moulin Rouge Theme (Where Is Your Heart) aka Song From Moulin Rouge by Mantovani & His Orchestra, had a 12-week gestation way back in 1953, when the chart was only a Top 10. The last No.1 to arrive at the summit later in its first run on the Top 75 was Shotgun by George Ezra, which got there in its 14th frame (only five of them in the Top 20) in 2018.

 

Although the release of two cassette variants (99p, including postage) on Thursday (August 24) helped Dance The Night to increase consumption 0.91% week-on-week, it has the lowest DUS for a No.1 for 14 weeks, and is extremely unlikely to remain at No.1 next week, as its sales-equivalent streams fell for the third week in a row, meaning it will move to ACR.

 

We did it 😭😭😭

second listen and already sounds better.

 

Fully expect this to linger around low top 40 until movie hits theaters and then peak Top 20.

 

Look at how wrong you were Addy!!!!

Glad she has got the number 1 eventually, its worked out well that both her and billie got a week at the top each.
