Pop songs almost always perform better globally than rap songs. This isn't shocking

The better, actually organic song prevailed  

Cringe

Obviously debuting at #1 would be amazing but like, since when is a #2 debut anything to scoff at? I get that she discounted and sold CDs or whatever but artists playing the game and capitalizing on their resources isn't anything shameful either. And isn't Dua kind of known for longevity? Seems to me that she's got a hit on her hands with room to grow  Nothing against Jack, kudos to him (haven't heard his single yet)

Wow 14 top 10s. Isn't that the most for an UK girl?

Little Mix have 20 top 10's - UK girl group.

Girl please. Synthpop/dance pop is much more accessible and consumed globally than English rap. Yes, there are exceptions but overall dance pop is much more consumed on a global scale

I don't think there's an accessibility issue when it comes to a white man making "rap" music for Tiktok. Dua is simply the bigger global star and I doubt you'd want to argue to the contrary.

Pack it up Dua

Doesn't matter. The Anglosphere matters more 

Love both songs.

 

Happy for Jack, it BOPS and the song is EVERYWHERE on Tiktok.

Duh, because again, Dua Lipa makes dance pop music tailor-made for crossover appeal and to smash especially in Europe  

 

Dua is also a bigger global star than, say, Morgan Wallen. Why? Because he makes country music while the other makes dance pop and does high profile collaborations.

The record-breaker, Dua Lipa.  She could become the biggest female pop artist in UK history (since adele is not pop).  

 

Lovin On Me 46,389 (1,706 digital downloads, 44,683 sales-equivalent streams)
Houdini 40,933 units (8,254 physical sales including 4,671 CDs and 3,583 cassettes)

Two icons  love seeing my faves winning at the same time

I am a Dua fan but this is a legit hit that will have legs, no nees to be delusional

What I posted is a fact. Numbers don't lie 

Would you have thought that First Class would be a 700m song on an album with 15m tracks when it came out? First class was also #1 everywhere.  

There is nothing organic about him. Just big tiktok promo

Another #2 in the casket

That #2 curse just won't let up

For a soloist yup, she breaks the four tie she had with Rita Ora, Shirley Bassey and Petula Clark.

 

Not the most if you include girl groups 

 

Girls Aloud - 21* 

Little Mix - 19

Sugababes - 18

 

GA + Solo, Cheryl actually has the most with 29
