charts discussion 'Dua Lipa' Hits 10B Spotify Streams (First Female Album)

Her success is so downplayed for some reason. This is crazy. Well done  

[FightDragonsWithMe]

She did that with 3 versions and 25 songs 

[Bloodflowers.]

She did it by making several global hits a greatest hits album 

[Katy V.!]

It's always weird how people drag her for having too many hits

[Protocol]

Droplets "Scared to be Lonely", "No Lie" (where she's a feature lmao), "One Kiss", "Electricity", and a re-release with a BLACKPINK collab did that! YES, she added ALL those songs to her debut "album". Shall we say debut Greatest Hits playlist from 2015-2019 instead? Would be more accurate. It's the only 'era' I can think of that spanned FOUR years. Dua is truly record-breaking!

It lasted that long because it kept hitting. It's not the flex you think it is.

That one has 9.5B. Won't be long for it to be the 2nd female album to hit 10B.

Future Nostalgia is hitting 10B in a few months aswell

 

Queen! Nobody’s doing it like her

[Cain]

The fact both of her albums will have two songs with 2B streams in the future (NR, OK, DSN, L)

Not y'all acting like she's the only one with hits or that the problem is people being mad she had hits. The issue here to anyone with a brain is clearly that Dua kept adding new songs to that album and it's misleading since anyone could create an "album-playlist" with their biggest hits and grab that "most streamed album" achievement.

Let’s see how many people can keep adding smashes to their albums and get 10Bn. Stop acting like it’s just soooooo easy to do

I'd love to see ur reaction had Gaga added Shallow to Chromatica. Would iz still be "well its her song" or would it be "so desperate, adding a smash hit to inflate the streams of the album!!"

Olivia's debut album is currently over 8 billion streams with just the original 11 songs from release day.  I'm not saying it's easy or that Dua's self titled / Future Nostalgia are not huge smash hit albums but it's obvious she couldn't reach 10 billion with just the standard version of those albums.  It's almost impossible in the streaming era to have more than 2 smash singles from the same album so releasing new singles and later adding them to the album helps a lot. Ofc you also need them to be hits but it still holds true that it's a big advantage over albums that just have their original release singles.

So why don't they do it? I'd like to see it! Stay mad.
