Dua Lipa - "Don't Start Now"

[GP]

I really don't think it's still Dua doing this. This has shown so much longevity it must be having a great performance on TTH.

Again? Whew! They want that #1.

Would that even be possible at this point?

Not unless "The Box" starts tanking in streaming or this lingers long enough to get a huge boost from the album release next month. So, basically, no.

Now we just need Pest Malone to really gtfo so she can claim #1 on overall airplay.

CALLOUTS

66.7% positive [2/16]
22.4% favorite [11/16]
17% negative [15/16]
49.7% net pos [1/16]
10.7% heavy burn [8/16]

Despite 2 weeks at number 1 under her belt, the callouts haven't dipped. Its impressive that her burn rate is so low, considering that rising songs like "My Oh My" & "hot girl bummer" have higher rates than she does. Number one net pos score doesn't hurt either. She could definitely make it to 5 weeks.

Love it. She’ll def get another week at #1. Glad it went top 5 on HAC as well!

I hope she snags #3 on the Hot 100 tomorrow and edges out Gaga. I also didn’t realize it’s been catching up to Future. Would love to see this keep on going until the album release, where I’m sure it’ll get a huge boost on streaming + sales.

And the drop begins...

[wjr15]

Let’s Get Physical!

[Henry Suárez]

If the drops are huge Roxanne will overtake it this week, 3 weeks at #1 were great tho! It'll be one of the biggest hits of 2020.

[Mike]

#3 on the Hot 100 this week!

[Choco]

So happy for this song.

[Deleted]

Omg our girl has a top 3 hit under her belt
Let us all rejoice

[wjr15]

Congrats Dua!!! I’ll admit that I never expected this to go Top 10 on the Hot 100, let alone Top 3. This is such a huge win for Dua and I can’t be happier for her!

[Choco]

Album is probably too far away for release week to push it to #2, and considering how they already exhausted all promotional tools for this one (and they need to move on to "Physical" already), this is probably it's peak, but to be completely honest I was more than OK with a #10 peak. Everything else is just icing.

[Juan Carlos]

More details.

From Billboard:

Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now" rises 5-3 on the Hot 100, marking a new high for the song and the singer-songwriter, who earns her first top three Hot 100 hit. It holds at No. 2 on Radio Songs (95.3 million, up 5%), while gaining by 5% to 18.4 million streams and 10% to 12,000 sold.

Dua's Billboard Hot 100 peaks to date:

#3. "Don't Start Now"
#6. "New Rules"
#26. "One Kiss" (Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa)
#49. "IDGAF"

[Juan Carlos]

Aww.

[Henry Suárez]

Her highest peaking song on the Hot 100!

[Future Captain]

#3!!!! Dua keeps winning! If only the album is coming next week, they could at least gun for a #2 peak but happy for her nonetheless

[mikeymonster]

I couldn't be happier for her!! I remember just a few weeks ago freaking out at the thought of it not going top 10. Now it's #3!!!!

Let's see if this iconic disco pop anthem can reach #1 within the next few weeks!

[Deleted]

So incredibly proud of her. Honestly did not expect this high of a peak, let alone its phenomenal run as a song itself. So proud of what this song has done, and will continue to do, for Dua.

This song will probably get last minute efforts for at least a #2 peak. She might perform it on SNL and with album release not too far away she might, and this is being optimistic, could get that #1. Fingers crossed.

[Lumi]

I didn't expect this to even go Top 10 upon hearing it, but whew!!! Top 3! Damn! I'm satisfied. Now time for Physical.

[Maximillian]

OUTSTANDING! So deserved. This is a song that will still be played years from now. What a turning point for her and her career.

[Juan Carlos]

I still can't believe that "Don't Start Now" reached the Top 3 in the US. It's a huge achievement for Dua, obviously, and I'm so proud of her to be honest.

Nov 1, 2019 9:37:03 GMT -5 Juan Carlos said:

I applaud her for not following trends and chasing them instead because I wouldn't have expected her to be one of the female pop solo acts to bring disco back in the late 10s. It's a risk in the US, of course, but I hope it will pay her off. However, I expect this to be massive in Europe, especially the UK, and Oceania, so I'm glad that she didn't need to change her vision to fit the current sound in the states.

Looks like I was wrong because it paid her off in the US too.

[Lumi]

Based off (very very early predictions), we might be able to expect this at #2 next week! It's SUPER close though. I can't believe #1 is actually in the running now. This absolutely deserves to be her first #1 song. I hope it can stick around in the Top 5 until album release so it really gets that extra push.

[aussie1]

I'm more then satisfied with a #3 peak. #2 peaks are always annoying to see and songs that peak at #4 seem to be forgotten more often then not. This is an absolute win for Dua and her team. Well done! Now time go all in on Physical or we wait a few more weeks for Break my heart.

[Ty]

Congratulations, Dua! It's been a wonderful journey witnessing her rise to superstardom.
