What do you call an artist with nearly two million followers from their YouTube channel? A social success! Dua Lipa just debuted on the charts with a strong showing, dropping “New Rules,’ hitting number one on the music charts in the UK.
Dua’s career began as a 14-year-old, enjoying success by ‘covering’ songs and posting them on YouTube. She got noticed by a major label, signing to a multi-year deal. Although born in London, she and her family moved to Kosovo as a young child.
Her persistence paid off, gaining enough popularity to open for Bruno Marsh and Coldplay last year, and her latest album the self-entitled ‘Dua Lipa’ in on the charts with songs that are burning up the airwaves.
