Dua Lipa's Sleeper Hits

stayc main image

Dua Lipa, the talented British singer, and songwriter, has made an indelible mark on the music industry with her chart-topping hits that resonate with audiences around the world. Her discography includes iconic tracks such as "Levitating," "New Rules," and, most recently, "Dance the Night," which is featured in the Barbie movie, showcasing her ability to craft music that transcends genres and generations.

Despite her undeniable success, what sets Dua Lipa apart is her unique journey on the charts. Her songs often have a remarkable trajectory that starts with humble beginnings. It's intriguing that several of her greatest hits initially made modest debuts on the charts, only to surge to the forefront a few months later. This phenomenon has become a hallmark of her musical career, proving that the initial chart position doesn't necessarily dictate the long-term success of a song.

For instance, "New Rules," a song that would later become a global anthem of empowerment, made its debut at an unassuming #90. Similarly, the infectious groove of "Don’t Start Now" entered the charts at a relatively modest #30. Even the irresistibly catchy "Levitating" had a modest start at #73. And most recently, "Dance the Night Away" began its journey at #43.

What's fascinating is that despite these initially lower chart positions, these songs displayed an incredible staying power and an almost magical ability to gain momentum as time went on. Within just a few months, each of these tracks defied the odds and rose to the coveted top 10 spots, showcasing the enduring appeal of Dua Lipa's music and her strong connection with her audience.

This unique chart trajectory further highlights the lasting impact of Dua Lipa's songs and her ability to create music that resonates deeply with listeners. It's a testament to her artistry that her songs can start from seemingly modest beginnings and then skyrocket to the highest echelons of the charts, cementing her status as a true pop sensation.
