Dua Lipa’s ‘Future Nostalgia’ Is Racing to No. 1 In U.K.

Another day in self-isolation means another opportunity to get creative, and no one seems to be taking that task more seriously than pop star Dua Lipa. The "Break My Heart" singer has been finding many unique ways to promote her latest album, Future Nostalgia, under these unique circumstances.

Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia climbs to Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart, earning the singer her first chart-topping record in the UK.

While other artists have pushed their album release dates back to a (hopefully) less-turbulent time in the cultural landscape, pop star Dua Lipa instead pushed up Future Nostalgia to last week -- and was rewarded with her best week yet on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Five Seconds Of Summer have denied Dua Lipa her first UK number one album.

Which means it is sober-up time for Dua Lipa, who is currently holed up with US model boyfriend Anwar Hadid in London amidst the Covid-19 shutdown, reports thesun.co.uk.

The singer's second effort arrived last week

NEW YORK -- Put on Dua Lipa’s sophomore album and you’ll experience of party — a collection of upbeat, dance-flavored, power-pop gems that could brighten your day. But take a closer, deeper look, and you’ll also find songs brimmed with messages of hope, equality and vulnerability.

Dua Lipa’s second studio-album Future Nostalgia fuses lively electro-pop and disco sounds from decades past with new-school production, resulting in a remarkably fresh full-length product. While the 24-year-old notes that Madonna is one of the key inspirations for the album’s sonic stylings, she gathered influences from all across the board.

Don't stop now - Dua Lipa is showing zero sign of taking her foot off the gas as new single Break My Heart completes a hat trick of Top 10 midweek entries for the singer on today's Official Chart First Look.

"People like to just objectify women"

Is it wrong, right now, to be as happy as Dua Lipa’s second album makes you? Is this any time to celebrate pop music at its most ebullient, when we should be bullish on meditation? Shouldn’t we be focusing our attention on weightier matters than how to all guiltlessly throw ourselves a solo disco party?

The streamlined aesthetic of Dua Lipa’s new album, Future Nostalgia, gives throwback funk and disco a boldface-and-italic redesign. Touchstones of 1980s synth-pop and ’90s dance music meld together with the bright, rhythmic hits of the 2000s—songs that played on Top 40 during the day and again as club remixes during weekend late nights.
