P!nk's streaming is far too weak for her to get the top spot.

I've loved her voice & persona from the start but her material lacks tremendously. Tale as old as time.

I like this song but that actually reflects what I feel like too. Her material just isn't quite there yet.
It's hard to analyze, it's just a "feeling". It's like various elements of her songs are running down the runway, but maybe not enough to lift them into the stratosphere or smash singles.
I CAN pinpoint something specific related to that feeling specifically with New Rules: the "don't let him in, don't let him in"s at the end are FIRE. They really amp things up -- building to "you're getting over him!!" -- but then the song ends. And lyrically I get why it's at the end of the song, but sonically, it stays mellow and groovy until that part at the end. I wish the song would've STARTED with those, at the very least.
That said, she has tremendous potential (obviously) and I'm sure she'll get there.

The gap between "New Rules" and "What About Us", which is at #3, has increased to 2.2k on the Tuesday update in the UK. There's streaming missing data of Apple Music, Amazon HD and Spotify from Monday. She practically has the #1 spot in the bag.

Things are shaping up nicely for this one. #1 on the UK can't hurt it's chances.

This girl really didn't move the needle for me at all until I heard this song. This is incredibly good. I love everything about this and her voice sounds absolutely stunning on this. Hope it's her breakthrough hit!

"New Rules" is still at #1 on the Thursday update in the UK, with combined sales of 32.5k. The gap between this and "Feels", which is at #2, is 4.4k and there's streaming missing data of Spotify from Wednesday.
Right now, the only threat could be "Friends", the new collaboration between Justin Bieber and BloodPopยฎ, if and only if the track sells more than 40k in 7 hours.

Yeah I remember commenting before on the Blow Your Mind thread about how the song actually got a pretty decent push -- however sales were atrocious leading radio to drop it, which was also an issue with Be the One and Scared to Be Lonely. Luckily the public seems to be liking this one, so (knock on wood) all the pieces should be in place for this to be a decent size hit. I'd love to see this be huge not just because I like this song and I like Dua, but because that would be huge for female pop stars, almost all of which appear to be flopping right now (Katy Perry, Lorde, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, Camilla Cabello, Fifth Harmony, possibly Pink, and more) -- and while there are some other factors in play (Selena Gomez choosing a risky first single, Fifth Harmony becoming Fourth Harmony, etc) the fact that it seems to be impossible for female pop stars to get a hit right now without collaborating with a DJ is concerning, to say the least, especially since their male counterparts seem to have no issue with that. I can't blame this on radio since most of these artists' songs seem to be selling poorly as well, but it certainly raises an eyebrow when many similar songs by male artists seem to have no trouble getting great steaming and sales numbers. Having this song, a pop song by an up and coming female artist, would be a great start in negating this and hopefully opening the doors for other pop females to breakthrough if the quality is there.

And it's most likely that this didn't happen because "Friends" reached at #3 on iTunes behind "New Rules" and "What About Us", so... (!!!)

Reaches atop in the UK, becoming her first ever #1 there.
Also, Dua Lipa is the first female solo artist since Adele (with "Hello") and the first female act since Little Mix (with "Shout Out to My Ex") to achieve this. Queen! <3
