Dua Lipa - "Don't Start Now"

[Normi]

I find it pretty good that the AMAs are still 3 weeks away as this song will definitely needs more time to gain traction in the US than in Europe so the performance will give it a great push! I see this going Top 10 honestly

I can see this eventually peaking at #2 yet blocked from the top spot by "Good as Hell" due to radio being a bitch...

[Deleted]

Holding out at #7 on iTunes, light red
Up one spot on Spotify to #6
Likewise on Apple Music as it moves one spot up to #62

Pretty damn great all things considered, definitely loving the fact that this has streaming support and has managed to stay top 10 on sales

[Future Captain]

Are we finally going to have a BNA winner that actually avoided sophomore slump? I think the last one was Adele

[aussie1]

I can't believe how well this is doing, I'm so proud. I've loved Dua since I first heard Be the one.

[Lumi]

Dua said "Best New Artist curse? Not today." She's saving everyone y'all.

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

I heard this by mistake, and it was actually pretty good. I like the Disco bop beat and she looks hot, but I'm not a fan of her vocal tones. Too deep. Almost sounds like a guy sometimes. For pop I like tones like Carly Rae Jespen, Sydney Sierota(Echosmith), Kacey Musgraves, 80's Madonna, female K-pop singers.


This is the best song by this Dua Lips chick tho. Hopefully it becomes her biggest poptart bop. 

[Choco]

Am I the only one that enjoyed the video? It's not her best but it fits with the song (and the song is sooo good that it didn't really need a huge video to sell it).

That's the kind of update I was waiting for. Keep it up.

"ThIs Is ToO eUrOpEaN fOr ThE uS!1!"

Hopefully this first week isn't just a hype thing and this is about to blow the f**k up.

That's literally the only scenario where I could see this flopping. If it doesn't crash on it's second week, the sky's the limit.

[Juan Carlos]

Predicted to debut inside the Top 40 on the Hot 100.

[Lumi]

#32 to be exact! Let's hope it gets top 30!

[deepston]

This is growing on me with each listen and I already liked it the first time that I heard it!
She kind of took a risk with this song and it's clearly paying off

[Maximillian]

She’s about to take over America. Those Spotify numbers are outstanding

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

So after repeat listens and checking out a bunch of covers of the song, I come to conclusion that she does have the right tones for the song. I just haven't liked any of her songs until now. so yeah Download? check, and coming to a "party rock" chart near you.

[Choco]

Thanks for the updates. The Spotify numbers are particularly encouraging.

Would this day be the rolling effect?

[Az Paynter]

Considering there are spins in the LW column, yes we're on rolling now. I'm surprised we're here already, I thought this would have been only day 7.

Also, Juan, it was a +237. #FlopStan :sip2:

[Deleted]

It was released at 7 PM, so it received a lot of spins then, I'm presuming to make up the LW column.

Sigh. Usually I am an advocate for people branching out of their comfort zones, but some people should just stick to what they know. The Pop forum is definitely not missing commentary like THAT.

ANYway, this is one of the best songs of the year, hands down. Addictive, propulsive, hooky, perfectly delivered by Dua Lipa. I have no choice but to stan.

[taylor is terrified]

Those Spotify numbers! Take America by storm, sis! 

That #32 debut projection is incredible! We just had to stan
