Why is Dua Lipa the only female artist that can compete with male artists?

Featured Replies

In the singles department? Levitating and Don’t Start Now are the only female smashas of this decade with +2B streams on Spotify. Why is that?

It only became a WW hit in 2020 tho.

Billie? Doja? Olivia? Taylor?

 

Singles don’t need to have 2B to be huge hits. Dua is on top of course but the other girls can also compete with men.

Taylor :rip: bfr

 

And 2B is a very impressive mark that only massive hits can reach. And Dua is the only woman that reached the mark this decade, not once but twice :WAP:


Blinding Lights

Heat Waves

Watermelon Sugar

As It Was

Levitating 
Don’t Start Now

Save Your Tears

Stay :clap3:

She is not, there are much bigger female artists such as Taylor, Rihanna, Ariana and Billie.

We are not going to that route dumbass, all of these songs were hits this decade. Billie’s last smash hit was in 2019 :juanny: and if we are going to bring hits from the past decade, soon New Rules and One Kiss will reach +2B too.

Not of them can compete with Dua herself in the singles department imagine with the males :deadbanana2: (Rihanna could compete in the digital era tho, but not in the streaming era)

What part of Don't Start Now was released in 2019 you don't understand? The song debuted in the top 10 of Spotify :ahh: Just take the L and move on with this flop ass topic.

What part of “songs that became hits in 20’s” you don’t understand? Watermelon Sugar and Blinding Lights were also released in 2019. And even if we don’t include DSN, the list and the topic are still valid, because Dua would still be the only woman with a mega smash this decade. :clap3:Unlike the girl in your pfp that was left in the last decade, ig that’s why you’re pressed.

It’s very difficult to get singles to take off post-album release in the streaming era, especially for established female artists with dedicated fan bases who consume the album like crazy in the first few weeks. Most pop girls’ singles are flops or just average radio hits after the lead single these days. 

 

Future Nostalgia was Dua’s true breakout era, so I think a lot of the singles were still fresh to people. It also helps that she did remixes and tv performances like the old days. The promo is lacking these days for most girls after the lead single.

Hunny, no one is pressed (although it seems like you are pressed for some reason). Just word your topic better next time before you embarrass yourself.

Levitating solo has 750M streams. Not 2 B.

And the version with dababy 1.7b. 

 

So if you count songs with featurings Billie has 2b songs too. The one with Khalid.

Where did I mention it needed to be songs that were released this decade? :rip: Songs that were hits this decade. You really thought you did something.

OP is so childish, throwing a tantrum when people disagree 

Because it’s not my opinion, the numbers don’t lie.
