Chart Check: Dua Lipa Set to Break MAJOR Hot 100 Record As ‘Levitating’ Lands 20th Week in Top 10

Published: Wednesday 26th May 2021 by Rashad

Dua Lipa is just one week shy of levitating into Hot 100 history books thanks to her enduring ‘Future Nostalgia’ hit.

Details inside:

Lipa fans still crying foul after ‘Levitating’ was blocked from #1 after a shocking showdown with Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak‘s hit ‘Leave the Door Open’ last week were open to news the tune had crossed the Recording Industry  Association of America’s threshold for double Platinum status – meaning it’s sold 2 million copies in the United States alone.

The upgrade makes Dua only the second female to see multiple multiPlatinum hits from a 2020-released album (Ariana Grande was the first).

This week – despite still being held at bay from the summit of the Hot 100 – Lipa landed her 20th week inside the top 10.  A major feat given the tune’s slow start, the stronghold on the chart region comes with historic news.  It’s now locked in a four-way tie for longest-running Hot 100 top 10 hit by a British female.  Only Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love” and  Adele’s “Someone Like You” and “Rolling In The Deep” can boast as long a stay.

Given its strength at radio, it’s likely ‘Levitating’ will remain in the top 10 next week.  If so, it’s 21st week will make it the longest-running top 10 hit by a British female ever.  Among all females (in leading roles), Leann Rimes‘ classic Country hit – ‘How Do I Live’ – lives on in the top spot as it stayed put in the top 10 for a whopping 32 weeks at the height of its populariy.

Until we find out for sure if Lipa will break the tie, look below to see who joins her in the top 25 on this week’s ‘TGJ Chart Check.’

    Payola and playlisting
    Dua= smoke and mirrors

    Her fame is bought.
    We will never forget how many copies your album sold. 18k pure sales and debuted at number 4.

    The had the number 2 song in the country the same week she released her album, only for her album to sell 18k and debuted at number 4

    Your numbers dont match the hype

    • Truthteller May 26, 2021

      And yet you’re the first one to comment on every one of the posts about her. Passive aggressive obsessive much? Get a life.

  2. Haterz Gon’ Hate May 26, 2021

    Haterz said she was local. Haterz said the album would fizzle out and interest would wane. Haterz said Radio was paying her dust. Haterz said her releasing a remix album and rescheduling her tour spelt the end of her career……..

    GOODMORNING HATERZ!!! WE SEE YOU SEETHING 😡 HOW THAT COFFEE AND HATERAID TASTIN TODAY HUH???

    🤣🤣🤣

    • Haterz Gon’ Hate May 26, 2021

      If Payola is under federal investigation – which record company would be foolish enough to do blantantly begin or continue the practice…

      🤔🤔🤔

      Jesus make it make sense please 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

        2 news publications have exposed dua for using payola

        Rolling stone magazine
        Billboard. Com

    • Clarks0o00ñ May 26, 2021

      “Haterz said Radio was paying her dust.”

      Who said that?

      Dua lipa is the queen of payola.

      The charts were delayed last week because of her illegal practices and scamming ways trying to get a number one song

      • Jake May 26, 2021

        Please Billboard never said that just because Billboard said there was an increase in radio impressions for Levitating doesn’t say anything about Payola you keep assuming and lieing on this blog. The word PAYOLA was never mentioned you’re a D A M N liar filled with hate against Dua. Why do repeat the same thing tirelessly? Only a hater does that. We get she debuted at number 4 with 18k pure sales. The album literally is in still in the Top 10 over a year later 14 weeks straight and has now manage to sell close to 1,500,000 so what exactly is your point?? Loser, that statement is really old we don’t give a s h i t. Dua has longevity last time I checked the RIAA stated the Album is Platinum. Look at how many artist who’s pure sales are low are you going to talk about that Hater??? We love to see this Dua is about to break a 4 way tie with her song Levitating in the Top 10 amongst British females deal with it!! Dua has three Grammys how many does your flop gave have?? NONE let that sink. SCAMILLA used payola that’s obvious. Please go buy those 8 flopped Romance Singles because they aren’t on the charts. Dua has LONGEVITY!!

      • Clarks0o00ñ May 26, 2021

        So what of rolling stone magazine that exposed dua for using payola last year?

        Are they lying too?
        😂

      • Jake May 26, 2021

        Are you talking about the list FLOPMILLA was on?? – Shawn Mendes, Marshmello, Halsey, Panic! At the disco, 5SOS, Eillie Goulding, Ed Sheeran
        Where’s Camilla’s Grammy?? Where is it?? You said Grammys could be bought right….Crickets 🤣😂🤣😂—-> 🚪the door. Yup no answer to that question. She’s smoke and mirrors!!

        You’re delusional keep believing you’re own lies you mean Dua the Queen of Longevity you’re bothered and upset which is why you repeat yourself tirelessly about the same crap. I could care less about false claims. You still can’t answer why Camicky did not buy some Grammys??? since the award can be bought keep dreaming!! You must be talking about your Flop Fave being the Queen of Payola!! 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣What a SNOREFEST 🤣🤣😂🤣lol it would have been at the Romance Tour Lol🤣😂🤣😂😂 The door——>🚪Camicky psycho fan lol!! I’m not reading your lies!! Bye bye trashy!! Thanks for exposing cuntmilla along with the countless of artist that you’ve stated used Payola. FLOPMILLA has 0 Grammys. If Grammys can be bought why didn’t The Weeknd, Kay Perry and Nicki Minaj buy some Grammys??? Why?? Answer that because there is no such thing. Your flop fave SCAMILLA is Grammy less and will remain that way. If Grammys could be bought then Camila would have bought one by now. Maybe she will get one with her third album release who knows. Flop ass with 10 singles and 20 different album covers couldn’t get a number 1 or a Grammy now that’s embarrassing!! She’s all smoke and mirrors. Keep dreaming trashy!! You’ve spewed out continuous lies there is no article on Billboard discussing Payola and Dua. You need to cry about that!!

        You’re bothered as I’ve stated and I’ll state it again……….Continue being bothered by Dua’s success. Rolling Stones article stated that it was investigated -along with many other artist just because someone is accused of something doesn’t make it true. That article is very old and has yet to prove anything. You can continue to spew out lies and nonsense. Billboard never stated Payola; you’re lying again. Please re-read the article it stated there was an increase in radio airplay which has nothing to do with Payola. The word payola wasn’t even mentioned. Are you going to say that about Bruno Mars 87 million impressions?
        There was a huge decline this week for leave the door open so shut it!! Are you also going to say that about the countless of Artist who had an increase in radio impressions? You’re a good liar!!

        Dua has longevity on the charts. Cry about it or just DEAL with It!! Levitating is double platinum and counting. How many Grammys does SCAMILLA have? The payola is obvious with her? She has a number 1 song and album but the Grammys paid both of her albums dust in the trash can. What happened to all those flop singles??? because they are no where to be found on the charts!! That’s sad!! I’m not surprised because her songs are mediocre and has no longevity. This is why it flopped hard. Please please worry about your fave and stop worrying about Dua who is preparing for her Tour. When is the Romance tour? When is it?? I heard it got CANCELLED!! Was the tour reschedule??? Thanks for exposing the truth about your flop fave you still have no proof to back your claims. Don’t start Now Charted at #2 sold 5 million and Levitating’s current peak position is number 2 double platinum with no payola. You really need to take your meds because you’re delusional. RIAA gave Dua her plaques. Future Nostalgia 4 million world wide sales and counting.

      • Clarks0o00ñ May 26, 2021

        Longevity thanks to payola

        This achievement is gonna have an asterisk on it cause billboard exposed dua for using payola for this particular song

        This is not the first time dua has been exposed for using payola.
        Rolling stone magazine exposed dua for using payola last year.
        😂

    • Jake May 26, 2021

        “because someone is accused of something doesn’t make it true. ”

        It was an exposè
        😂😂
        They investigated and published their findings.
        That’s how it works.

        A prestigious magazine like rolling stone cant publish an important exposè unless they have credible evidence which they did. Lol

        Billboard also accused dua of payola
        I have posted a quote from billboard, exposing dua for using payola.

        Dua’s Grammys are bought by the label
        Same with her fake sales and streams and plaques

        It’s all smoke and mirrors. That’s why her album sold 18k pure sales and debuted at number 4
