Dua Lipa - "Be the One"

[Juan Carlos]

"Be the One" is the second release from Dua Lipa after "New Love". The track, which has reached the Top 10 in Belgium and Austria and the Top 20 in Germany and Switzerland, has been delivered to Australian radios this week.

[Juan Carlos]

The track is inside the Top 10 in some European countries, including Bulgaria, the Netherlands and Romania, where it's currently atop in the three of them.

From Noise11:

Dua Lipa sees her first entry "Be the One" (#38 digital) become her first Top 50 hit in Australia as its up thirty-one spots to No.46.

Also, it reaches a new peak of #46 in Australia.

[Juan Carlos]

From Noise11:

Dua Lipa joins the Top 40 by moving up thirteen places to land at No.28 with "Be the One" (#17 DL).

The song keeps climbing in Australia, where it reaches a new peak of #28, becoming Dua Lipa's first Top 40 there.

Friend of mine is absolutely obsessed. The label seems to be interested in making her happen in the states; no idea why, because Europe is going to be her most immediate core market. She could go the Ellie Goulding route with the right single, but eh, I just don't see her having star power over here.

'Last Dance' is a damn good song, though.

[Fancy]

i hope she becomes the next big thing!

#7 in australia this week. :)

[Rocky]

For some reason this is an enormous hit in Hungary right now and I'm happy because I love the song.

[Juan Carlos]

Uh-mmm... Does this mean that the track will be re-released with a new video?

She performed the track on Xtra Factor tonight, so it's a guarantee that this will be the next UK single from her self-titled album.

Music Video: (Version #2 / Uploaded on VEVO's channel)

But why on VEVO channel?

I was wondering the same if it's considered that Dua is under Warner Music Group and the label and VEVO don't have a partnership (*), but it's one between Lexus and the latter, so this is the reason why the video was uploaded on VEVO's channel, according to the following press release.

From Lexus:

To highlight the impressive styling of the new 2017 IS, Lexus today unveiled a custom vehicle wrapped in 41,999 programmable LEDs that turn the car into a screen capable of broadcasting dynamic graphics and videos. The car, which is designed to send a bold signal, is featured in UK chart-topping artist Dua Lipa's new music video for her hit song "Be the One." The first-of-its-kind collaboration pairs Dua Lipa's powerful vocals with an ethereal storyline, featuring the vehicle as a character and visual anchor in a story that also casts actor Ansel Elgort (Divergent; The Fault in Our Stars) as Dua's former love.

This unique collaboration between Lexus and Vevo showcases the Lexus IS as an incredible work of art, technology and design through the lens of a music video. The 2017 IS has a commanding design and Lexus wanted to amplify those styling cues like never before. To create the LIT IS, Lexus used hand-applied LEDs to turn the vehicle into an eye-catching screen. In addition to broadcasting graphics, the LIT IS can also generate colorful, mesmerizing animations in response to gestures and music. Through this responsive technology and the animations, an expressive car was turned into an actual vehicle for expression, and the concept for a new Dua Lipa music video was born.

Also, Brian Bolain, who is the general manager of product and consumer marketing from Lexus, added the following.

"A car as visually striking as the LIT IS required an equally dramatic debut. A music video was a perfect place to launch the LIT IS and working with Dua Lipa allowed the concept to come to life, putting a spotlight on the Lexus IS in an entirely new way."

(*) Actually, it was announced one in August, but this video isn't related to that.

BRITs 2017 Critics' Choice Session:

[Juan Carlos]

Chosen as the Track of the Day on BBC Radio 1 today.

[Juan Carlos]

Playlisted by BBC Radio 1.

[Juan Carlos]

Debuts at #70 on the Official Singles Sales Chart.

As a side note, it's currently inside the Top 40 on iTunes UK, but it's nowhere to be seen inside the Top 200 on Spotify UK, so I hope streaming increases and it could enter in the Official Singles Chart in the following weeks.

[Juan Carlos]

Debuts at #54 in the UK, becoming her fourth overall Top 100 there.

#15. "Hotter Than Hell"
#21. "No Lie" (Sean Paul featuring Dua Lipa)
#30. "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)"
#54. "Be the One"

The track has climbed to the A-list on BBC Radio 1 and it has been playlisted by Capital FM and BBC Radio 2. Also, it's currently inside the Top 10 on iTunes UK (it reached at #13 before it was discounted) and the Top 200 on Spotify UK.

[Choco]

I discovered this one through Youtube this week and I love it. I liked Blow Your Mind, but I think this one has much more potential.

[Glove Slap]

#22 UK Midweeks.

[Juan Carlos]

It should be clarified that the UK midweek update posted above didn't include streaming data from Spotify and Apple Music for Sunday, so it's expected to be a couple of spots lower. However, an entry to the Top 40 is almost guarantee at this point. Yay!

Either way, the track is currently at #5 (with possibilities to jump to #4) on iTunes and #152 on Spotify and it could do wonders if it's added to Hot Hits UK in the latter within the next days.

[Juan Carlos]

Spotify UK daily update: (January 24)

Top 100!

[Juan Carlos]

Jumps from #54 to #21 in the UK, becoming her fourth overall Top 40 there.

#11. "No Lie" (Sean Paul featuring Dua Lipa)
#15. "Hotter Than Hell"
#21. "Be the One"
#30. "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)"

The track is currently at #4 on iTunes (still discounted) and #98 on Spotify. Also, it should be mentioned that it has been added to the Hot Hits UK playlist, so it's expected to climb more spots in the latter. As a consequence, she's on course of getting her biggest solo hit there.

This might get a boost off Scared To Be Lonely in the UK
And seems to getting a boost off No Lie

I hope all 3 of those jams crossover to the US

[Choco]

#11 on the UK midweeks.
(No Lie is at #10 and Scared to Be Lonely is at #24).

Looking good so far in the UK.

48. Dua Lipa - "Be the One": 110,393 (+16,420)
49. Calvin Harris - "My Way": 108,008

Top 50!

As a side note, Music Week is listing that its official impact date is this Friday, so I'm wondering if a new remix package will be released or not. Oh! And it's still at #4 on iTunes.

[Juan Carlos]

Climbs from #21 to #11 in the UK, becoming her highest solo track there so far.

#10. "No Lie" (Sean Paul featuring Dua Lipa)
#11. "Be the One"
#15. "Hotter Than Hell"
#23. "Scared to Be Lonely" (Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa)
#30. "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)"

The song stays at #4 on iTunes (still discounted) and #38 on Spotify, so this should enter in the Top 10 next week. Yay! Also, a new remix package didn't come out as I was expecting, despite Netsky did a remix for the track, which you could listen to it here.

That sound throughout the song always reminds me of someone shaking a box of Tic Tacs, lol.

[Juan Carlos]

From BuzzJack Music Forum:

8. Stormzy - Big For Your Boots *
9. Dua Lipa - Be the One
10. ZAYN & Taylor Swift - I Don't Wanna Live Forever

This is the Tuesday update in the UK and "Be the One" is currently at #9 there. Also it should be noted that there's missing data from Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon HD for Monday. As a side note, the track is still at #4 (with possibilities to jump to #3) on iTunes and #32 on Spotify, so looks like that it's a lock that it will get a Top 10 placement this week.

[Juan Carlos]

#3 on iTunes UK!

[Juan Carlos]

Jumps from #11 to #10 in the UK, becoming her first Top 10 as a solo artist there.

#10. "Be the One"
#10. "No Lie" (Sean Paul featuring Dua Lipa)
#14. "Scared to Be Lonely" (Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa)
#15. "Hotter Than Hell"
#30. "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)"

The song falls to #4 on iTunes after being at #3 because of "Chained to the Rhythm", but it's at #23 on Spotify, so this should stay in the Top 10 for a couple of weeks more. Also, it should be noted that it's still discounted in the former.
