She needs more merch. I want a tee or sweatshirt just saying 'IDGAF' or 'Save it - get gone - shut up'

This guy is usually very VERY negative with his song reviews, but Dua managed to impress the unimpressable :)

"IDGAF" was certified gold (units in excess of 400k) by the BPI, becoming her fourth single to reach this milestone after "No Lie", "Hotter Than Hell" and "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)". "New Rules" is certified double platinum (units in excess of 1.2m), while "Be the One" and "Scared to Be Lonely" are certified platinum (units in excess of 600k).

The IDGAF performance with all the other ladies has crossed 10m on Youtube, which is pretty impressive.

Dua will be performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! next week. She will film an 'outdoor mini concert' on February 14, but it's unknown if that day will be the broadcast. Tonight.

I'm in love with Lost In Your Light, Dua and Miguel's voices blend so well together

I'm kind of shocked this hasn't gone platinum in the UK yet. Is their album certification system that much different from the states? I would think with streaming she would of gone at least double platinum by now(not surprised about the raw sales not being higher and think they are pretty good considering no one buys albums anymore)

I would think with streaming she would of gone at least double platinum by now(not surprised about the raw sales not being higher and think they are pretty good considering no one buys albums anymore) Yeah, the way they incorporate streaming into album sales is different from the US, though the basic formula of 150 streams = 1 song is the same for singles chart purposes. "Official Charts will take the 12 most-streamed tracks from each album. The top two tracks will be down-weighted in line with the average of the next 10. These streams will then be added together and divided by 1,000. This โstream factorโ will then be added to the physical/digital sales of the album. The reason for down-weighting the two most streamed tracks is to ensure that if an album features up to two smash hit singles, streams of these tracks do not skew the performance of their parent album in the Official Album Chart." www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/streaming-uks-albums-chart-will-work/This article doesn't state it directly but it should be noted that the streams are calculated separately from the sales (which as far as I know don't exclude or 'down-weight' anything, but I'm not entirely sure on that). Still, it's definitely clear that this method is different from the US, where sales and streams are all lumped into one big pile - no downweighting, no cutting things off after the 12th most streamed track - and then divided by 10. If the UK used that formula, New Rules alone would have been 120k SEA, and her other certified singles would add another 180k. (FWIW this would still just barely result in a gold-certified album by US rules, so I guess this whole post was a wash lol).

I hope this is the new We Found Love as in a re-invention of his sound cause I'll be mad if he wastes Dua's voice on a chill/groovy/funk wav/whatever boring sound he's been doing recently. I need an absolute mega banger from the two of them.

Is it eligible to a 3x? I dont remember..
Also, what are the chances of IDGAF getting 1x? It's getting good streaming even if sales are almost null

Still bitter that "Genesis" and "Garden" will not see the light of day.
