"new rules" and the calvin harris collab were big-big, don't think she has much of a profile otherwise

the hot 100 isn't everything, but 'don't start now' is at #5 right now. a new peak for her.

oh i was wondering if i should've checked "don't start now"'s status on the charts. that fuckin rocks
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 4 March 2020 17:19 (four years ago) link
she's been on the major us late night shows like four times which is a pretty good barometer for mainstream awareness

"Don't Start Now" should climb again this week if BTS, who unexpectedly vaulted into #4 without any radio play, drop down. Lady Gaga's single is looking unlikely to threaten the top 5 but "Blinding Lights" might with its strong airplay performance.
"Physical" has so far peaked at #11 in the UK but isn't doing much on any other chart. (It's not on the Hot 100 at all at the moment). She hasn't really promoted "Physical" at all - at least in comparison to the way she promoted "Don't Start Now" - so I wonder whether they're saving the next barrage for a third single to then lead into the album release, which is now only a month away.

I'm actually DJing in Los Angeles in April, as half of Hot Mess, and only the second time we have been booked outside the UK, and I'm very excited. Although I/we play mostly house & techno I like to throw something very current in amongst the more minimal stuff we usually play to hype up the energy or whether that wuls be seen as naff? So the reason I asked about her North American profile was that I was wondering if playing DSN would work. fwiw, it's an LGBT party.
and fwiw, as well, If you are in LA get in touch, send me a webmail on here or whatever. The party is called Ostbanhof. It seems extremely cool (ostbanhof is the name of the station you get off at to go to Bergain in Berlin)

the remix, live in LA or whatever it's called has the excellent percolating intro, which as someone said above should be the standard version of the song… and I have heard it on multiple radio formats and in RL situations in the past month…it is immediately effective in every single context I have encountered, so I would think it would go down a storm at the LGBT party of which you speak…probly a lot of the people who will be there do already or will know it by then, and any that don't would likely be immediately into it…

god the live in la version is so perfect

I've played it at Hot Mess in Glasgow and it does GO OFF! for sure. I played the mikeandtess edit that I linked above.

"New Rules" and "Don't Start Now" have become supermarket music, which is to me the undisputable, definitive proof that an artist has really broken into mainstream.

Aren't you the guy whoTried to hurt me with the word "goodbye"'Fore it took some time to survive youI'm better on the other side

I know these sort of single-instrument Youtube covers usually are pretty boring, etc, but this is undeniably great:

I remebered seeing this recommended to me on YouTube but hadn’t clicked on it – thanks for sharing it, it's great.

Only on ILM could there be an apparently earnest discussion over whether or not Dua Lipa has broken into the mainstream.

I guess the new album just leaked. Did anyone got the chance to hear it?
― Nourry, Monday, 23 March 2020 13:14 (four years ago) link
the last song has a rhyming couplet style I’m not especially fond of and doesn’t really gel with the rest of it, but other than that...incredible
― monotony, Monday, 23 March 2020 13:25 (four years ago) link
“cool”, “love again”, and especially “LEVITATING”, all stupendous songs
new single friday is the INXS one and that’s a banger too
― monotony, Monday, 23 March 2020 13:26 (four years ago) link
She's pushed the official release date for the album up a week. It's out this Friday!

[spoiler] hello white town sample!!!! [/spoiler]
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Monday, 23 March 2020 15:10 (four years ago) link
Yeah, that was a nice surprise.
I was expecting to hate the last two songs based on the reaction on Popjustice and RYM, but I kind of love them. Great album.
― kitchen person, Monday, 23 March 2020 19:25 (four years ago) link
such a strong record. I get the feeling some people might have with the last two songs but, personally, I have no problems with them.
― Nourry, Monday, 23 March 2020 21:08 (four years ago) link
on the one hand I really want to listen to the leak immediately; on the other hand I really don't want to make Dua Lipa cry
If you support Dua, please don't stream the leaked version of tue album!! Look at her she's devasted 😢Pleaseeeeeee it's her body of work RESPECT HER #DuaLipa #FutureNostalgia @DUALIPA pic.twitter.com/FWyWa5iiX8— Lordogx is RARE (@lordogx) March 23, 2020

What’s the name of the song with a White Town sample? dying to hear this one.

only thing i don't really care for on this is "good in bed", pretty solid otherwise and indeed very early 00s uk pop throughout. "cool" is especially wonderful

"love again"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 21:52 (four years ago) link
Love Again should be the next single

it is!
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 24 March 2020 22:38 (four years ago) link
Oh, I thought it was going to be Break My Heart but maybe that's just a promo/buzz single. I get so confused. Either would work, but Love Again seems like the most obvious hit on the album.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 24 March 2020 22:44 (four years ago) link
lol sorry i got their titles mixed up, you're right kitchen person

This album is fucking relentless. And "Break My Heart" is a great covid-19 anthem (I wonder if this is why it was chosen as the next single).

Chorus reminds me of Shakedown Street

the "need you tonight" interpolation in "break my heart" is really bugging me, it doesn't quite work with the rest of the song
video rules though

Once first listen, loving « Break my Heart »(indeed it’s zeitgeisty !) and the fabulous-kinky-obvious summer hit « Good in Bed » !
