If you’re searching for dua lipa facts, start with the basics: Dua Lipa was born on 22 August 1995 in London, England, and later signed with Warner Bros. Records in 2014. Her name kept appearing on major charts and award lists after that, backed by seven Brit Awards and three Grammy Awards.
Her debut album, Dua Lipa, arrived in 2017 and peaked at number three on the UK Albums Chart. That album set the stage for the run of singles and records that followed, with each release adding another notable chart milestone.
Which songs made Dua Lipa stand out?
“New Rules” became Lipa’s first number one in the UK. It also became the first song by a female solo artist to reach the top in the UK since Adele’s “Hello” in 2015.
Another major hit came with Calvin Harris: “One Kiss” was the best-selling song of 2018 in the UK. Later, “Don’t Start Now” scored the longest top-ten stay for a British female artist on the UK Singles Chart.
“Levitating” added another headline-grabbing milestone. It topped the Billboard year-end Hot 100 chart of 2021 and received RIAA Diamond certification in the US.
What was her first number-one album?
Future Nostalgia became her first UK number-one album. That mattered because her debut album had stopped at number three on the UK Albums Chart, so the next era pushed her all the way to the top of the UK album list.
The album run also matched a stretch where her singles kept landing big chart placements in both the UK and the US. Between “New Rules,” “One Kiss,” “Don’t Start Now,” and “Levitating,” her catalog stacked up a series of specific chart firsts and best-selling marks.
Has Dua Lipa acted too?
Yes. Dua Lipa made her acting debut in Barbie and played Mermaid Barbie.
That role added a new line to her career beyond music, which already included a debut album, a first UK number-one album, seven Brit Awards, three Grammy Awards, and a set of singles with chart records in the UK and the US.
