Seeing that she’s the #12 most streamed artist in the world right now gives me chills. Two months ago, I wouldn’t believe she’s going to hit this big thanks to probably my song of the year “New Rules.” So overdue but well-deserved!

She's so down to earth. <3
Anyway, I enjoyed watching it. I was a little surprised that she snubbed "Be the One", but I liked her covers of "Passionfruit" and "Self Control" though. Also, I lol'd when she was asked by Tyler which song was going to be her next single and she avoided it.

L8 but just popping in to say that "Be The One" and "Last Dance" are among my favorite pop songs of the year.

She was on the Elvis Duran show today, where she talked about "New Rules", touring with Bruno Mars and living on her own at 15 in London.
Also, Dua has been honoured with the ASCAP Vanguard Award. From Music Week: She said the following: "I'm so honoured and grateful to win this award. I'm very thankful for the response to the music and the recognition. Things like this make me work so hard and I just want to make my fans proud. Thank you!"

She performed most of the songs she has done recently during her iHeartRadio live show last week. Also, she closed it with "New Rules".

I forgot to mention that I finally played all of Dual Lips CD a couple weeks ago when I was cooking dinner. I give it a solid B. Nothing stood out that I can remember on first listen (and some of these I have heard 2x actually because of her set at Governor's Ball), but there was nothing that made me want to skip so that's a plus!

A special Italian edition of the standard version of the album will be released on October 20 and it's going to include "Dreams" and "Bang Bang".

She mentioned in the meet and greet at her Leeds concert on Sunday that she's just recorded the music video of her new single, despite it's still unknown which song of her self-titled debut album is. That said, she was with Nicole Nodland, who shot the music videos of "New Love" and "Be the One", last week in London.

I'd be dying for Genesis as next single ! It is an eargasmic pop gem... That track is EVERYTHING! #NotBiased If the next single is really taken from her debut album, then I don't see anything single-worthy besides Genesis and IDGAF. But she really broke through with New Rules, so choosing the latter does not seem like a great marketing move - they should let her showcase something different. Genesis seems perfect to me. Great love song, sweet, showcasing vulnerabitly, well written, clever images, original. What else, really? The first verse is so so so great, honestly. Make THIS a single, Dua !

"New Rules" was certified platinum (units in excess of 600k) by the BPI, becoming her third single to reach this milestone after "Be the One" and "Scared to Be Lonely". "No Lie" and "Hotter Than Hell" are certified gold (units in excess of 400k), while "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)" is certified silver (units in excess of 200k).

Dua has been submitted for Best New Artist at the GRAMMYs. I hope she gets nominated, although it will be tough if she's selected.
As a side note, she received her ASCAP Vanguard Award today.

As previously mentioned, "Bang Bang" is out and you could listen to it here. It's amazing and I need a WW release ASAP! A special Italian edition of the standard version of the album will be released on October 20 and it's going to include "Dreams" and "Bang Bang". Contrary to this, "Dreams" wasn't included in the physical Italian re-release of the album.

Dua has been submitted for Best New Artist at the GRAMMYs. Besides that, she has been submitted in the following categories too. • "New Rules": Record of the Year, (Song of the Year), Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Music Video • "Scared To Be Lonely": Record of the Year, (Song of the Year), Best Dance Recording, Best Music Video • "No Lie": Record of the Year, (Song of the Year), Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Music Video • "My Love": Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Music Video • Dua Lipa (Deluxe): Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album I assume the Song of the Year category is in brackets because she's not listed as a songwriter in any of these songs.

Scared to be Lonely for Dance Recording is probably her best bet.

Dua was interviewed by Jason Lipshutz, where she talked how the music video of "New Rules", which has 450m+ views now, helped the song to take off. She said the following a month ago: "Everyone was reposting it and sending it to their friends, and I was just like, 'What is happening?'. Like, the views were just soaring, and that's just never happened before. It was like rocket fuel for the song. It's been surreal, and really exciting. I was very excited to shoot the video, because I'd come up with this concept that I was really proud of and that I thought that would be something that would attract people's attention but it also kind of gave the song a different meaning... I just didn't expect it to do this. Like, I thought people were gonna like it, but I didn't think it was gonna become a meme." Also, as previously mentioned, there are likely two more singles from her self-titled debut album that will follow "New Rules", but she's already working on new music for her next album, as a way to capitalize her newfound US fame and for self-preservation.
As a side note, she confirmed to ODE that she shot the music video of her new single, although she still doesn't want to say which song is, and there's going to be some dancing on it. You could watch it (around the 2:40 min. mark) below.

The Harry Potter thing is going low-key viral, at least on my FB feed (great move). Also I love Harry Potter so I love her even more now.
