[Teletubby 150,095]

Dua Lipa’s Dance The Night (from the Barbie Soundtrack) secured her 10th UK No.1 airplay, in turn extending her run of having more airplay No.1s than any other female artist since Radiomonitor began data in 2008.

In terms of competition in this regard, Adele is currently on 5, with Lady Gaga, Pink, Rihanna and Little Mix all on 4, and Beyoncé on 3. Indeed, as stands, the only artist with more is Ed Sheeran, who currently has 14 under his belt. 

Dua Lipa has spent 37 weeks at the top of the UK airplay chart, thanks to Dance The Night, 2022 Calvin Harris & Young Thug collaboration Potion, We’re Good, 2020 Miley Cyrus collaboration Prisoner, Levitating, Break My Heart, Physical, Don’t Start Now, 2018 Calvin Harris collaboration One Kiss, and IDGAF.

Warner Records said: “Ten No.1 airplay records is an unprecedented headline for any artist – let alone one who is just two albums into her career. We are super-grateful for all the support from UK radio – from the first plays, to this milestone. It’s another reminder of the impact Dua's music is having, and how she is flying the flag for British artists and for female artists. And it’s just the beginning."
