Thanks to her latest hit single, ‘Training Season,’ the Hot 100 is proving yet again it’s Dua Lipa‘s season.
Just days after learning the Kevin Parker-produced bop helped her make history in her native U.K. when it became her 15th top 10 on their Official Chart (the most of any British female act ever), ‘Training’ seems poised to see some of that commercial success reflected Stateside.
The refreshed Hot 100 sees Lipa printed at #27 – the highest appearance of any new song this week. Here are the numbers that powered the placement.
- Streaming ≈ 10.9 million U.S.-based streams
- Digital Downloads ≈ 9,000 copies sold
- Radio Airplay ≈ 2.5 million audience impressions
A debut primarily bolstered by sales after the tune was given quite the fiery introduction to the masses thanks to a live performance at this year’s GRAMMYs, ‘Training’ also entered the Digital Song Sales tally at #7 – the highest of any new song this week.
The impressive Hot 100 opening not only marks Dua’s 11th top 40 hit but also the third biggest solo opening of her career to date following 2023’s ‘Houdini‘ (#11 debut) and 2020’s ‘Break My Heart‘ (#21 debut).

Mediocrity is winning these days.
She has a great attitude and believes in humanitarianism; Dua is the only real commercial pop girl really eating it right now, giving us the electricity we need for the runways. Otherwise it’s these cult fans and fake bops. Dua understands the assignment for the girls. She stormed H.E.R., Jorja Smith, Margo Price, Chloe x Halle, Luke Combs, Bebe Rexha, and Greta Van Fleet, and still outsells and outperformes them all. H.E.R. is an icon but not that pop princess girl. Times
Are a changing! Dua is working for her crown.
Your site is wonderful, I read it in a distant country. There is only one thing I don’t like: please change the font of the headings on the main page. Let it be the same as in the open pages: Arial or Verdana. Otherwise, this cowboy font doesn’t look good.
It’s not a great song. I think music is such garbage today that even something slightly okay gets top sales, because there’s nothing else.
I miss the 2000s stuff.
Everybody is out, music is very competitive right now.
