Beyonce and Dua Lipa are two names unquestionably leading the Pop pack in the contemporary music climate.
Yet, with both of their new releases out within the same frame, the ladies are in the midst of a showdown for pole position on the Official UK Singles Chart.
Full story below…
According to the Official Charts Company, Lipa’s freshly launched ‘Training Season’ and Queen Bey’s Country anthem ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ are in a tight race for #1.
Per the current tally, British-bred Lipa is ahead by 3000 copies.
It’s of note, though, that the present update primarily factors in the delivered pre-orders of ‘Training Season’ – which had been made available for pre-sale for several weeks.
As of writing, Beyonce’s ‘Act II’ single is besting Lipa’s effort on Spotify, Apple Music, and iTunes.
Should Mrs. Carter nab the #1, it will serve as her first UK chart-topper in 14-years – with her last time atop of the tally being with Lady Gaga collaboration ‘Telephone.’ She currently has 5 UK solo #1s to her name.
If Lipa were to triumph, ‘Training Season’ would become her 5th UK #1.
Who are you rooting for?!

LMAOOO DUA, THE ONE THATS #1 WW ITUNES AND BLOCKING THIS CLOUT HOPPING FLOP FROM #1 THATS WHO LMAOOO 🤣
Agreed! Kpop power bottoms like Jung Kook did better in the UK. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Barely top 10, tanked ☠️
UK doesn’t care about another sound and another cash grab for Beyoncé.
This is mediocrity vs overrated. Let’s see which one wins. 👀
LOL
Never a truer word said.
Number whaattt? Sad.
So it’s local 💅
Localyonce! I’m done…. 😭
Unbelievable that Beyonce cuff it didn’t get number one but this tacky “Black girl plays on country tropes” will.
That’s the gays for you… Fickle AF
Why didn’t she just make act I music videos…..ridiculous. She wants to compete with Adele and TS. At least make a couple of MVs. It’s basic………
Agreed. She should’ve released a music video for Cuff It. In this day and age you gotta have everything ready. She didn’t lose the AOTY due to racism, it’s cause she didn’t bother promoting properly. And if she can’t cope with creating another visual album then she should’ve just said it upfront that she’ll release the rest of visuals later but singles’ visuals come first.
Gurl shut the hell up
calm down it’s not that serious
Love both songs but I hope it’s Dua Lipa for #1 since it’s home turf. If not, she’ll get it eventually once she drops a music video cause she doesn’t hold her visual for hostage #shade
Her new era is doomed. This is just a Rita Ora’s level. 🥴
Told ya.. she is not that global like y’all make her to be. Rih, Mariah slayed better in the UK so did Britney.
TEXAS HOLD ‘EM will be #1 on Billboard Hot 100 next week. I’m sooo excited for this era. I call her best one yet! She’s really been outside. Greeting fans, promo, interviews, commercials, magazines. She’s really feeding her fans, while gaining new ones. I feel so blessed to be a Beyoncé fan. Thank you Queen. BEEEEYHAWWWW!!! 🤠🐝
Of course, she is local not unlike Rih & Madonna in the UK… She is not even Whitney or Mariah on a global scale! 💋
LOL 😂 you’re so close minded. You know nothing further than UK and believe that equals global 💀 what an idiot. Beyoncé is the celebrity of all celebrities. We all know that. Country has NEVER gotten this much notoriety EVER. Say thank you Beyoncé 😘
Country singers don’t dress this sleazy! I stan for Dua
Dua Lipa 😁,,,she has left us dancing 😭😭😭
