*listens to this, is reduced to a pile of smoldering ash*

Smash.

[Juan Carlos]

Debuts at #50 in the UK, becoming her first entry there.

From Music Week/BuzzJack Music Forum:

20-year-old Londoner Dua Lipa makes her chart debut with "Hotter Than Hell" (No.50, 12,922 sales).

Also, the track has been delivered to UK radio through HitDisc this week.

[Juan Carlos]

Chosen as the Track of the Day on BBC Radio 1 today and playlisted by this radio station as well. YES!

Welcome to the club, James! Anyway, I guess you should check "Last Dance" because of Talay Riley.

I don't think that the right term is 'skipped' though. I mean, "Be the One" was released worldwide in October of last year and it helped Dua to get some recognition in the UK, like being nominated on BBC's Sound of 2016.

As Kurt previously mentioned in the "Last Dance" thread, she's signed to Warner, so I guess they are trying to make her to get a UK hit, so this may be the reason why they opted to release that track and "Hotter Than Hell" (after "Last Dance" didn't do as they expected) instead of relaunching "Be the One", which coincidentally began to take off in some European countries around that time and Oceania after that.

If it's considered that "Hotter Than Hell" is her first entry in the UK and it's holding on both digital and streaming there, I think that there's a chance (now) to re-release "Be the One", while the former could be pushed overseas as well. That said, I don't know if her label has plans to promote her in the States (I think there are because I've seen an article from her on AllAccess), but if it indeed happens, I assume that "Be the One" will be chosen as her first US single, so it could coincide with a UK/IE push as well.

Oh, that's the one he wrote! I knew he did a song with her, but I wasn't sure of which one. I guess I should check it out too lol.

Shazam is predicting that this will be one of the songs of the summer. *crossing fingers*

From Billboard:

The follow up to the British singer and model's hit "Be The One," "Hotter Than Hell" is poised to burn up the charts this summer.

As a side note, Music Week is listing that its UK official release is on June 17 now, so I guess a remix package will be out in that day.

[yuh yuh]

I really like this song. It's very catchy and deserves high success!

[nightshade]

This is cute for UK but if the U.S. gets a dose of Dua Lipa I hope Be the One is first.

[Juan Carlos]

Jumps from #55 to #44 in the UK, reaching a new peak there.

As a side note, the track was played during the entrance of the housemates in Big Brother UK some days ago, making it to climb on iTunes and Spotify there. Also, it has been discounted to £0.59 this week, plus it jumps to the A-list on the BBC Radio 1 playlist, so there are high chances that it's going to enter into the Top 40 on the Official Charts.

[Juan Carlos]

From the Official Charts:

Also scaling the Top 40 this week is Dua Lipa's "Hotter Than Hell", which looks set to make its Top 40 debut this Friday, currently at Number 21.

This is the Monday update in the UK and "Hotter Than Hell" is currently at #21 there. It should be mentioned that there's missing streaming data from Spotify for Saturday and Sunday, so it could fall a couple of spots, although it entered the Top 10 on iTunes.

From the Official Charts:

Also making big gains is Dua Lipa's "Hotter Than Hell", zooming 26 slots to Number 18.

Top 20 in the UK!

[Juan Carlos]

Playlisted by Capital FM and KISS FM (UK). Also, the track has been delivered to Australian radios, becoming her second official release there.

As a side note, it reaches a new peak of #17 in the UK.

[Juan Carlos]

The track has been discounted again to £0.59 this week, so looks like Warner is trying to make the song to reach the Top 10 in the UK. That said, it's currently inside the Top 10 on iTunes and it reaches a new peak of #15 on the Official Charts.

[Juan Carlos]

Stays at #15 in the UK, but it re-enters at #31 in Australia, becoming her second Top 40 there.

From Noise11:

The other debut within the Top 50 is actually a Top 100 return which spent a single week at #100 back on May 23rd, but this week returns as the official second chart entry for Dua Lipa at No.31 entitled "Hotter than Hell".

[Juan Carlos]

Climbs from #25 to #17 in Australia, becoming her second Top 20 there.

From Noise11:

Dua Lipa lands her second Top 20 hit here as her new single "Hotter Than Hell" is up eight to a new peak of No.17.

Not that I think it'll cause huge chart damage, but she's performing on Fallon on Tuesday!!

[Juan Carlos]

Queen Dua Lipa is coming to conquer the US. :'( Illusions aside, I seriously need Warner to do something right this time.
