Its first two incarnations may have signaled a flop, but Dua Lipa‘s song ‘Levitating’ has reaffirmed the age old adage – ‘the third time’s the charm.’
After tapping DaBaby to assist its latest adaptation, radio listeners immediately ate that version up – a feat supported by Lipa’s onslaught of live promotion of the tune that saw her perform it at ‘SNL,’ the American Music Awards, and more. Together, the increased action helped hoist it to top 20 status on the Hot 100 just weeks after its premiere (marking her fourth career visit to the chart region).
Despite being pushed out of said region due to the influx of holiday hits, those tunes’ disappearing act from the tally has helped ‘Levitating’ live up to its namesake on the refreshed chart.
See what we mean inside:
Officially released August 13, the combined activity of all the versions of the single have finally assisted its top 10 breakthrough.
Look below to see the numbers that lifted ‘Levitating’:
- Streaming: 10.2 million streams
- Digital Downloads: 9,000 sold
- Radio Airplay: 47.5 million audience impressions
The win marks Dua’s third career visit to the top 10 and follows the success of previous singles ‘Don’t Start Now’ (#2 peak) and ‘New Rules’ (#6 peak).

This is only the beginning for Dua! We love to see it.
How can an album have 3 top 20 hits but the album has sold only 500k after almost 1 year of release?
PAYOLA
As I always say, dua is a product of good marketing and aggressive payola.
So what’s Justin Bieber’s excuse? Changes had a #1 hit and a top 10 hit. Yet it’s only gold. You idiot. The albums will be platinum soon…and once they are, you still won’t be a woman. That’s why you’re mad. You’re a man and hate it. Writing essays up and down this site, 5 comments on 1 damn post. Get a life weirdo
Changes didnt receive universal acclaim.
Changes didnt have a remix album featuring heavy weights like madonna and mark Ronson
Changes had only 2 official singles.
Changes had only 2 music videos.
Change is certified platinum in the USA
Was certified platinum after 9 months of release.
Pls get ur facts rights before u open ur mouth.

Yeah future nostalgia is flopping all the way to the damn Grammys b****. So what if the album didn’t hit #1…Rihanna didn’t get her first #1 album until her 7th lol. You are in need of an involuntary psychiatric evaluation for a minimum of 72 hours. Get a life!!
Now ur faves album didnt hit number 1, number 1’s dont matter

SUCKS TO SEE THE TRUTH DOESNT IT BABY GIRL BOY 😂😂 ROMANCE WAS SEÑORITA AND IT WAS A SONG WRITTEN BY CHARLI XCX BOO BOO
NOT TO MENTION SONG THAT BELONGS TO SHAWNATHA
Dua a fraud let’s just be real
Idk why they keep trying to put her up there so hard
Payola Queen 👑 she cute though
LMAO!!!!!!!!
Ask Camicky’s fan why was her album certified. Seniorita 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Her label quickly added it last minute because they knew she would flop (multiple flop singles). Camickys songs on that album have low streams.
Lmaoooooooooo. The Award shows realized this and didnt nominate the flop album.
“Camicky! SQUAWK SQUAWK! Camicky!” 🦜
Exactly Lmao !! I know I was expecting her to get nominated again for the Grammys it went Platinum. The Grammys aren’t based on sales they are based on talent and quality. I’m not saying she doesn’t have talent but Romance just wasn’t that great. Señorita definitely helped with sales she released a lot of not so great singles that didn’t even make it on Billboard 100. Maybe next time lol!!
The sales of seniorita has already counted towards shawn’s album so it cant count towards romance
U tried and failed.
Future nostalgia sold 18k pure sales and debuted at number 4
Future nostalgia is just hitting gold status after almost 1 year
Dua was also exposed by rolling stone magazine for using payola
😭
GIRL IM GLAD SOMEONE SAID IT CUZ WITHOUT SEÑORITA OR HAVANA SHE HAS NO SALES 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Romance is better than future nostalgia
As I said , dua is a product of good marketing and aggressive payola
They are trying hard to make her into something shes not
She’s generic.
Her live performances are generic
And future nostalgia is a flop, no matter how hard u people try to lie to yourselves
Lol
FUTURE NOSTALGIA IS A FLOP BY WAY OF THE RIAA EXPLAIN HOW FLOPMANCE HAS NO HIT SINGLES BUT ALLEGEDLY WENT “PLATINUM” WITHOUT THE SALES OF SEÑORITA. GORLLLLLL STOP THESE LIES CHILE
Remember Camicky did ticket bundles for a canceled tour? 😂😂😂
Those numbers were never adjusted.
Dua Sold out a digital tour. Camicky couldn’t even do that. 😂😂😂
Camicky = smoke and mirrors. She needs collabs . Her solo songs constantly flop. The Award shows see this and will never nominate her again. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“Camicky! SQUAWK SQUAWK! Camicky!” 🦜
Camicky Christmas song didn’t even debut on Bubbling and it was discounted.
I thought she was a PopStar?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Christmas song was a cover
Was released on a Saturday , wasnt meant to chart
Was a charity single to help struggling families during the Christmas season
Every Christmas, Camila gonna be getting her Christmas coin from that song.
LOL YET IT DIDNT CHART SO IS IT ABOUT CHARTS OR COINS
If they wanted the song to chart, they would have.released it on friday
My faves fame is organic
Dua is a product of payola
Even after a whole remix album with big names like madonna, mark Ronson and gwen Stefani, future nostalgia is just reaching gold status
LOL GIRL IT FLOPPED THE SONG FLOPPPPPEEEDD DUA HAS ANUTHA HIT ALBUM A GRAMMY AS WELL AS HIT SINGLES UR GIRL C******* DOES NOTTTTT
“Camicky! SQUAWK SQUAWK! Camicky!” 🦜
Yesss Levitating is that song, I thought they would ruin it with the whole multiple remixes approach but I’m glad it’s working out. Another top 10 for Dua, sophomore slump schreeching chicas can’t relate
You’re obsessed with Camila
This song is so good so the success is speaking for itself! If this was the lead or 2nd single it wouldve been #1, but she was smart saving it for a later single and dont stop now was obviously the right choice given how it performed.
Shes really doing everything right this era, Fever is also doing well in europe and its just an infectious song as well.
Levitating top 10 best songs of 2020!
Congratulations Dua…
This has been an incredible era for you.
I hate that some people will write five page essays about her debut sales being low and payola. Meanwhile they mouthing all the words to your songs and writing post after post about your stats and sales. Lol! Everyone I know loves Dua, and not too many can name anything from Camilla besides “Senorita” “Havana” or “Living Proof”
Your fans come in all shapes and in Clarksoons case, sizes!
“Everyone I know loves Dua,”
If everyone loves her, why are they not buying her album
Lol
Future nostalgia is just reaching gold status after 3 number 1 songs on pop radio
After almost 1 year of release.
Embarrassing
Future nostalgia sold 18k pure sales and debuted at number 4
If dua is so loved why are people not buying her shìt
Make it make sense
Everyone loves Beyoncé but don’t buy her music either. You are the only person who cares about how many records Dua sold when her album first came out. Look at all that she’s accomplished in the time since.
You are the typical trash queen who have to knock people down just to give your girl credit. Camilla is not the girl you think she is. That little Latin Girl playing dress up.
Girl nobody cares for living proof…
AT ALL
Finally she hit the Top Ten with Levitating it was bound to happen. Levitating deserved to hit number 1. Dua definitely does not need payola this is an organic hit. I still don’t understand how Break My Heart didn’t hit the Top 10 or Don’t Start Now hitting Number 1. Platinum status for Future Nostalgia 2021. The deluxe edition is on the way. I hope she wins more Grammys on January 31st 2021 lmao to prove all the doubters and haters wrong. Some of these haters need get there FACTS correct. It’s 2021 at least have the decency to speak the truth.
“Dua definitely does not need payola ”
Rolling stone magazine literally exposed her for using payola
🤣
LOL YET NOBODY ELSE SAID IT THEY NEVA SAID IT WAS HER ALSO WHERE WERE THE RECEIPTS JUST LIKE C******* WENT PLATINUM WITH NO HITS GIRLLLLLL
Y’all will not pay the fact that The Weeknd jumped all the way up to #3.
Talk about an EPIC slay!
Amazing another Top Ten for Dua this is an organic hit 17 spots up into the Top 10. The hate is real. We love to see another WIN for Ms Lipa Future Nostalgia is definitely a million times better than Romance. The Grammys have spoken and Future Nostalgia is nominated at the 2021 Grammys for Best Pop Vocal Album and Album Of the Year!!! LMFAO The critics have spoken. 😂😂😂🤣🤣
Do it Dua 🤳🏽
