Dua Lipa claims her fourth UK Number 1 single with Dance The Night

Dua is only the sixth British female soloist ever with four Number 1s to her name.

Dua Lipa officially claims her fourth UK Number 1 single today as Dance The Night struts to Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart.

Taken from the soundtrack of the blockbuster Barbie, Dance The Night replaces another hit from Greta Gerwig’s film, Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For at Number 1.

Dance The Night joins Dua’s previous trio of UK chart-toppers; New Rules (2017), One Kiss with Calvin Harris (2018) and Cold Heart with Elton John (2021). Overall, it’s the first time a British female soloist has reached Number 1 in the UK in more than 12 months, since Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill last year.

Today, Dua becomes only the sixth British female solo artist to claim four Number 1 singles, pulling level with Ellie Goulding, Rita Ora and Geri Halliwell’s tally. Only Jess Glynne (seven Number 1s) and Cheryl (five Number 1s) have more. See the full list of British females with the most Number 1 singles.

In a statement, Dua said: "Dance The Night is Number 1 in the UK!!!! 💖💖 birthday week going strong !!! So much love to everyone listening and streaming 🎧🎧🎧"
