Dua Lipa Scores Her First US Top 10 Single with 'New Rules'
She is unstoppable...
Dua Lipa's ascent to superstardom has been incredible. After making a splash in the UK Top 40 in 2016 with hits like 'Blow Your Mind (Mwah)' and 'Hotter Than Hell', the 'No Lies' singer became a chart mainstay in 2017 and now she's conquering the US.
'New Rules' has just risen to Number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and become her first US Top 10 hit.

Tellin' me how much you miss me
That's funny, I guess you've heard my songs
Well, I'm too busy for your business
Go find a girl who wants to listen
'Cause if you think I was born yesterday
You have got me wrong
So I cut you off
I don't need your love
'Cause I already cried enough
I've been done
I've been movin' on, since we said goodbye
I cut you off
I don't need your love, so you can try all you want
Your time is up, I'll tell you why
You say you're sorry
But it's too late now
So save it, get gone, shut up
'Cause if you think I care about you now
Well, boy, I don't give a fuck
I remember that weekend
When my best friend caught you creepin'
You blamed it all on the alcohol
So I made my decision
'Cause you made your bed, sleep in it
Play the victim and switch your position
I'm through, I'm done
So I cut you off
I don't need your love
'Cause I already cried enough
I've been done
I've been movin' on, since we said goodbye
I cut you off
I don't need your love, so you can try all you want
Your time is up, I'll tell you why
You say you're sorry
But it's too late now
So save it, get gone, shut up
'Cause if you think I care about you now
Well, boy, I don't give a fuck
I see you tryna get to me
I see you beggin' on your knees
Boy, I don't give a fuck
So stop tryna get to me
Tchh, get up off your knees
'Cause, boy, I don't give a fuck
About you
No, I don't give a damn
You keep reminiscin' on when you were my man
But I'm over you
Now you're all in the past
You talk all that sweet talk, but I ain't comin' back
Cut you off
I don't need your love
So you can try all you want
Your time is up, I'll tell you why
(I'll tell you why)
You say you're sorry
But it's too late now
So save it, get gone, shut up
(Too late now)
'Cause if you think I care about you now
Well, boy, I don't give a fuck
(Boy, I don't give a fuck)
I see you tryna get to me
I see you beggin' on your knees
Boy, I don't give a fuck
So stop tryna get to me (get to me)
Tch, get up off your knees
'Cause, boy, I don't give a fuck
THIS IS NOT A DRILL. DUA LIPA HAS NOW SCORED HER VERY OWN US TOP 10 SINGLE.
The girl power anthem has been popular ever since its release last July but radio airplay in the US has taken a while to catch up with the streams that the single's been receiving on major music and music video platforms like YouTube and Apple Music.
Just last week the UK Number 1 hit was streamed over 3.6 million times on US Spotify alone.
That's not all though. The 'Scared to Be Lonely' singer will also be performing on SNL for the very first time next month. The star tweeted: "I have the craziest butterflies rn and i’m nervous just typing this out. A dream come true... someone pinch me!"
Fingers crossed that she will use give us renditions of 'New Rules' and new single 'IDGAF'.
We love both and believe that 'IDGAF' has the potential to become as big as 'New Rules'.

Huge congrats to Dua on both the US Top 10 and SNL!
There's no doubt that she deserves all of this success.
