Dua Lipa Earns First US Top 20 Hit with 'New Rules'
We are so happy for her...
That Dua Lipa reign won't let up. From scoring her first UK Number 1 single with 'New Rules' in August to receiving the award for Best New Artist at this years MTV EMAs, there's no denying that the 'Be the One' hitmaker is having an amazing year.
That's not all though. On top of everything, 'New Rules' just became Dua's first US Top 20 single ever.
Talkin' in my sleep at night, makin' myself crazy
(Out of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote it down and read it out, hopin' it would save me
(Too many times, too many times)
My love
He makes me feel like nobody else, nobody else
But, my love
He doesn't love me, so I tell myself, I tell myself
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the mornin'
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
I got new rules; I count 'em
I got new rules; I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules; I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I keep pushin' forwards, but he keeps pullin' me backwards
(Nowhere to turn) No way
(Nowhere to turn) No
Now I'm standin' back from it, I finally see the pattern
(I never learn, I never learn)
But, my love (Love)
He doesn't love me, so I tell myself
I tell myself, I do, I do, I do
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
I got new rules; I count 'em
I got new rules; I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules; I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
Practice makes perfect
I'm still tryna learn it by heart
(I got new rules, I count 'em)
Eat, sleep and breathe it
Rehearse and repeat it, 'cause I
(I got new, I got new, I...)
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin'
'Cause he's drunk and alone (Yeah, alone)
Two: Don't let him in
You have to kick him out again (Oh, ooh)
Three: Don't be his friend (Again)
You know you're gonna wake up
In his bed in the mornin' (Bed in the mornin')
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
I got new rules; I count 'em
I got new rules; I count 'em
(Whoa-ooh, whoa, whoa)
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules; I count 'em
(Baby, you know I count 'em)
I gotta tell them to myself
Don't let him in, don't let him in
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't let him in, don't let him in
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
Don't, don't, don't, don't
You gettin' over him
NO. WE'RE NOT JOKING. 'NEW RULES' REALLY JUST CLIMBED INTO THE TOP 20 IN THE US!
The multi-platinum girl power anthem jumped two places from Number 21 to Number 19 on this week's Billboard Hot 100 and, based on its ever-growing popularity in America, it could soar even higher on the esteemed chart in the weeks to come.
Dua is taking over the world right now and we couldn't be prouder of the rising international starlet.
'New Rules' is Dua's third smash hit in the US. Her UK Top 40 single 'Blow Your Mind (Mwah)' was her first and it peaked at Number 72 on the Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile, her Martin Garrix collaboration 'Scared to Be Lonely' reached Number 76.
With her career only just beginning, we have no doubt that Dua has plenty more US hits to come.
Every track on her self-titled album sounds like it could dominate the radio in the US and the UK.
'IDGAF' is already confirmed as Dua's next single and it is a certified banger.
We cannot wait to see it climb up the charts just like 'New Rules' has done!
