As previously mentioned, Dua Lipa was on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She talked to him about the album, self-isolation and UNICEF's efforts to help refugees most vulnerable to COVID-19 and she performed "Break My Heart" as well.

If a re-release was initially planned to be released later in the year then how does the pandemic affect it (assuming it goes away by, say, September) and how doesn't it make sense to be released now since it was never intended to to begin with before the COVID-19 outbreak was even a thing?

I guess I didn't explain it correctly, so apologies for that if this was the case.

I'm not trying to say that the pandemic is affecting the re-release and/or a possible push-back of it. I was mainly referring that it wouldn't make sense to re-release the album later this year because she isn't going to promote it properly. Her tour was postponed until next year and time will tell if she could make some performances outside her flat. As a consequence, I think it's better to go as far as they can with the album this year, which means to release a couple of songs as singles, and to focus on the re-release next year if it's considered that her label is planning a two to three year campaign to support the album.

Also what is the difference between the re-release and the deluxe? I've read posts that distinguish between the 2 so I'm assuming they're 2 separate reissues. No?

Not at all. There's not any difference between the re-release and the deluxe because both of them are the same. It's just different terms which means the same in this case.

Honestly, we don't know what's the plan with the re-relase or Deluxe version of the album. They can just start releasing collabs with other artists (Silk City) and several stand alone singles, then release all that new material and a few new album tracks with the original album as a 'Deluxe' at the end. Releasing just one new single and then the re-release just doesn't make sense in this day and age.

That's true. It's only known that there will be a re-release/deluxe version of the album and "If It Ain't Me" might be included on it, but there could be some standalone collaboration releases in the meantime too.

new lyric videos!

[Envoirment]

I hope they go for another 3-4 singles, so many great songs on the album. I'd love something like

1. Don't Start Now
2. Physical
3. Break My Heart
4. Levitating
5. Cool
6. Hallucinate
7. Love Me Again

[Juan Carlos]

The Thursday update is out in the UK. Future Nostalgia remains at #1 (12.7k), while Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent stays at #2 (7k). The gap between them is 5.7k and it increased 1.2k with yesterday's update. As a side note, Dua Lipa jumps to #14 (2.4k) and CALM falls to #16 (2.3k). The difference between them is exactly 54 copies, so anything could happen tomorrow.

I'm not going to deny that I'll laugh so hard if her self-titled album, which was released three years ago, outpeaks 5SOS's latest album available last week.

[Choco]

1. Don't Start Now
2. Physical
3. Break My Heart
4. Levitating
5. Love Again
6. Hallucinate (remix)
7. If It Ain't Me (rerelease the album)
8. New track from the rerelease.

Iconic era right there. Close it with a Cool video to thank the fans.

There's also another Silk City collab? Diplo hinted that there was one waiting for the right time for release.

[Juan Carlos]

I also hope they go with three (even four!) more singles to be honest.

1. "Don't Start Now"
2. "Physical"
3. "Break My Heart"
4. "Love Again" / "Cool"
5. "Levitating"
6. "Hallucinate"

I'm torn between "Love Again" and "Cool" as the next single. I prefer "Love Again" and it will give a change after three (two in the US) uptempo songs, but the 'I guess we're ready for the summer' line on "Cool" could work too if isolation is over around June or July. If the latter is released, they could opt with the former as the last single. "Levitating" and "Hallucinate" should be released as singles too, being the latter a EU/OZ single at the very least.

[Normi]

1. Don't Start Now
1.a Physical
2. Break My Heart
3. Cool
3a. Hallucinate (EU/Oceania)
4. Levitating
5. If It Aint Me
6. Love Again
6a. New song (EU/Oceania)
7. New song

I'd LOVE that

[taylor is terrified]

If I was Miss A&R:

1. Don't Start Now
2. Physical
3. Break My Heart
4. Levitating
5a. Hallucinate (US and such)
5b. Love Again (outside the US and such)
6. If It Ain't Me, followed by re-release
7. track from the re-release
8. Cool

How do you not consider Love Again uptempo?

After Break My Heart I’d release Cool, then Hallucinate, then Levitate. Levitate reminds me a little of “Get Lucky” but I can’t tell if it would smash or stall here in the US.

I guess it would have been better to say a change of tempo instead? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I mean, in comparison of the three singles, I feel that "Love Again" is less danceable than them in my opinion.

[weaver]

Hmmm since we are doing this...

1. Don't Start Now
(Physical)
2. Break My Heart
3. Cool
4. Levitating
5. Love Again/Hallucinating

I didn't listen to the other songs people have heard so can't comment on those...

I think Hallucinate and Love Again should be swapped but otherwise yes

[kimberly]

Album officially crowned #1 in the UK—her first! Congrats, miss peep

[Juan Carlos]

Queen. Her revenge.

It's what she deserves.

[breathingrande]

I’m late to the party but i’ll do mine:
1.Don’t Start Now
2.Physical
3.Break My heart
// Actually wait for the US to finish eating BMH//
4.Levitating or Cool (i can’t decide, they are both perfect for the summer)
5.Love Again (A cute Nostalgic banger for the fall )
6.Hallucinate remix feat Doja Cat
7.Re-release single

Also , how can her team decide which single is the best option for all countries? Could they send Cool & Levitating to radios and make them test it to see which one has the best reaction and then officially send it?

Same! The thing is, Levitating seems very Summer-ish and its super infectious, but “Cool” is so fresh and vibey but different from all 3 singles which is a good change of sound/pace
“Love Again” is a smash but to me it feels more Fall-ish.
I think the majority here prefer “Cool” as the summer single

this sounds bomb af

[#brayden]

4. "Love Again"
5. "Levitating" (international only)
6. New single
7. New single near album re-release

I would expect "Love Again" to climb a bit slower in the US + Canada so release "Levitating" internationally to bridge the gap like they did with "Physical."

Then put out a new single before the re-release. Second single can come out just before the re-release similar to "Break My Heart."

CALM and Dua Lipa are currently at #14 and #15, respectively (both with 1.5k).

Their 5 Seconds of Fame are over.

[Juan Carlos]

• First ever #1 album in the UK.
• The first UK #1 album by a female act in 2020.
• The first UK #1 album by a British female act since 2018.
• First female artist to simultaneously have three singles in the Top 10 on the UK singles chart in multiple weeks this century.

Dua said the following to the Official Charts.

"Getting a Number 1 in my home country is a dream come true!! I'm so grateful for all the love and the support especially during these difficult times. Sending love to all of you and thank you for everything 💗💗💗"

[deepston]

Ok but why is she putting that thing on her mouth when we are in the middle of a pandemic? Miss Dua we need you healthy for the slayage of the upcoming months.

Well I’ll be damned! She is really the biggest female singer at the moment! I’m shocked 😱.

Now I really want this remix to happen!

[mikeymonster]

I honestly don't think BMH will peak (at least in the US) until the summer, so I think this would be a great single pattern:

1. Don't Start Now
2. Physical
3. Break My Heart
4. Levitating
5. If It Ain't Me // New Re-Release single

Regardless, I just want an official release for the pop perfection that is If It Ain't Me
