Basically, our favourite travelling-during-a-pandemic superstar is predicted to get her first number one on the Billboard Hot 100 with her hit single "Levitating", featuring DaBaby.
The single has becoming a TikTok favourite, which is helping it climb the charts. The rise on TikTok was due to her Grammy performance, apparently, with the snippet "You want me. I want you, baby" being particularly popular.
Previously, Dua Lipa's highest charting hit was "Don't Start Now" which reached #2, but was blocked from #1 by The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" (which is still going strong lbr). "New Rules", her breakout hit, peaked at #6.
