Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia climbs to Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart
Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia climbs to Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart, earning the singer her first chart-topping record in the UK.
The collection lifts from 2 to 1 after narrowly losing out on a Number 1 debut last week to 5 Seconds Of Summer’s Calm. Dua's self-titled debut peaked at Number 3 in March 2018 - view Dua's Official Chart history so far here.
As well as bagging her first Number 1 album, Future Nostalgia is also the first record by a solo female artist to reach the summit in 2020.
Celebrating the news, Dua told Official Charts: "Getting a Number 1 in my home country is a dream come true!! I’m so grateful for all the love and the support especially during these difficult times. Sending love to all of you and thank you for everything 💗💗💗".

At Number 10, Bill Withers’ The Ultimate Collection becomes his highest-ever charting album in the UK following the soul singer’s death last week aged 81, with fans flocking to his music all week in the wake of the news.

Dua Lipa is overrated. Same as Rita Ora. Average singers & songs.

You say that just because you're against Kosovo as a whole.

Can't a person thank people without referencing the darned C****-** nowadays??? Why am I even here, I could've just checked the albums chart directly.

So pleased to see HARRY STYLES back into the Top 5...maybe even a new peak next week? His album is actually selling really well all over the world..i am wondering if it outsold already his 1st album..

Oh yeah, I'm so happy right now!!! :D
I mean, I definitely knew this was coming when OCC posted their midweek update back on Monday, but when there are so many 10/10 tracks on that album, there was no doubt it was always going to reach #1.
Congrats Dua & Happy Easter to you all!
