poll Signature Song: Dua Lipa

[Hector]

 

With the monumental career she's had so far, what do you think is currently her signature song so far? 

 

Currently I'd say:

 

01 Levitating

02 One Kiss

03 Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)

04 New Rules

05 Don't Start Now

Definitely "Levitating" but I do feel "New Rules" brought her a lot of attention in the pop world.

[Selegend]

voted for "Don't Start Now" cuz it is in my country Brazil "tamborzin tamborzin"

but worldwide it is Levitating. 

[State of Grace.]

I really don't think theres one answer for this tbh.

 

Levitating in North America.

One Kiss in the UK/EU.

...but Don't Start Now remains her biggest/best peaking/most global song overall. It is definitely a signature song in several countries.

 

A case would be made for New Rules because it truly launched her career.

Don’t Start Now, Levitating, or New Rules.

 

Seeing this list is crazy- she’s been around for only 8 years and has had so many absolutely massive smashes. She’s truly the MPG of her time 

[smoore95GAGA]

Too many smashes from FN to choose from so NR it is 

[glacier76]

There is something to be said when a song may not be their biggest, but it helps them break out. Besides the quality of New Rules, it is when the public started to figure out how to pronounce her name.

[gardendreams]

Don't Start Now/Levitating are her biggest. New Rules is her breakthrough....

 

but Be The One needs an honorary mention 

[selena_lavigne]

It's like this

Don't Start Now > New Rules > Levitating >/= One Kiss >>> the rest

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

I feel like One Kiss was the most successful in my country, closely followed by New Rules

[Ron Ng]

Don't Start Now or New Rules. Levitating is huge but I'm sure the GP doesn't know who sings it

[allforyou]

I'm gonna go with New Rules, it was her first smash hit and still has great recurrent streams

[Triton]

Don’t Start Now, it really made the perfect transition between eras, it defined her sound and allowed Levitating and Cold Heart to thrive. Yet was perfect timing as  New rules established her and One Kiss is one of the best collabs. 

[unclefloprry]

One kiss and it’s a fact 

[Blackout2006]

Levitating, aka one of the biggest hits of the decade so far.  

However, I'm so surprised with the few votes One Bop earned  That song is still smashing 4 years after its release and is second to Levitating  

[Forever Winter]

Levitating

[JustHoran]

Levitating and New Rules 

[Erreur2 La Nature]

Her most recognizable songs are New Rules, One Kiss, Levitating. 

[Axelios]

None. Her hits are all forgotten pretty fast.

[dumbsparce]

New Rules irl

Hotter than Hell in my heart

We're Good in an alternate universe

Her top 5 hits are all approaching (or have already reached) 2B streams on Spotify, none of her peers are close to that

 

If there’s someone that’s not a ‘quick little singles’ girl it’s Dua

Yes thanks to years of playlisting but her current daily streams are unremarkable, these are examples of classics streaming hits and their daily streams:

Blank Space (2014) 2,200,496

Lovely (2018) 1,519,399

Starboy (2016) 1,760,523

 

These are Dua biggest "classics" daily streams:

Cold Heart (2021) 1,306,747

Levitating (2020) 1,025,039 (about 1,600,000 if you combine both versions)

Don't Start Now (2020) 976,745

One Kiss (2018) 917,936

New Rules (2017) 599,763 

 

As you can see despite being more recent they can't match real streaming classics.
