Dua Lipa's 'New Rules' Reaches New Peak On Billboard Hot 100
Her US takeover continues...
Dua Lipa might be moving on from 'New Rules' but the rest of the world isn't quite ready yet.
As the star prepares to release the video for her new single 'IDGAF' this Friday, her world-conquering smash hit from last summer continues to climb up the charts stateside.
'New Rules' has reached a new peak after 23 weeks of charting and is extremely close to becoming her first Top 10 hit in the US.
Waves of frightening feelings
Floating weightless, I'm willing
My will keeps bending and breaking
Honey
Hold me, trust me
Let me ride in your love all night, babe
Hold me, touch me
I wanna die in your love all night, babe
Lost in your light, baby
I wanna stay right here all night, baby
Let's get lost in the light, baby
I wanna stay right here all night, baby
Oh
Now everything's vivid, vivid
Torture tempted with pleasure
I'm reckless, tangled, suspended
You want it all, nothing's wasted
Woman
Hold me, trust me
You know you can hide in my arms all night now
Hold me, trust me
I'm gonna ride in your love all night
I'm
Lost in your light, baby (alright)
I wanna stay right here all night, baby (alright)
Let's get lost in the light, baby (alright)
I wanna stay right here all night, baby
(All night, alright)
Midnight, your eyes
Bitter wine, conversations
You and me, some money, babe
I don't need a paycheck (don't need a paycheck)
One taste and I'm hooked on it
Don't laugh, I know you want it
I'm addicted to your light
Lost in your light, baby
I wanna stay right here all night, baby
(All night, darling)
Let's get lost in the light, baby (all night)
I wanna stay right here all night, baby
(All night, all night)
Let's get lost in the light, baby
For any artist to crack the Top 40 in the US is a massive achievement let alone the Top 10 yet Dua is about to do it any day now as 'New Rules' climbs to Number 11 this week.
The UK Number 1 hit sits behind Cardi B's 'Bodak Yellow', which hasn't left the Top 10 for months and previously topped the chart for three weeks, although its time could be up.
Dua is the first British artist in recent memory to have such massive success in the US without previously being in One Direction, and we can't think of anyone more deserving.
After announcing she was working on her second album last week, the 'Blow Your Mind (Mwah)' singer has teased several videos from the studio with MNEK and many more exciting artists.
With a new album underway, a world tour happening in the next few months and the 'IDGAF' video coming this Friday, 'New Rules' won't be all the US hear of her.

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
