    Dua Lipa claims UK number one album with ‘Radical Optimism’

    Seems like Radical Optimism pays off! Dua Lipa has debuted at number one on the Official UK Albums chart with her third studio album.

    Shifting a total of 46,300 chart units in its release week, Radical Optimism boasts the biggest opening week of any British act overall so far this year. It’s also the biggest opening week for any British female since Adele’s 30, which was released in November 2021.

    This is Dua’s first album to debut at number one on the UK Albums chart. Her previous release Future Nostalgia managed to top the charts during its second week, whilst her debut album Dua Lipa has never reached the top spot, despite spending over 350 weeks on the Official Albums Chart.

    Fans can expect to hear tracks from Radical Optimism as well as some of Dua’s best known hits when she headlines Glastonbury Festival this summer. Earlier this week, Dua appeared on popular podcast show Dish, hosted by presenter Nick Grimshaw and chef Angela Harnett, and revealed that she was asked about Glastonbury back in November 2022.

    Dua revealed: “I got the call November 2022. At the end of my Future Nostalgia tour. I was coming back from Australia and I remember checking my email and it just said ‘Glastonbury’ and I was, like, ‘Oh, this is interesting.’

    “I opened the email, and I just go, ‘Oh my god! I can’t believe what I’m reading!’ I just had to, like, refresh it a couple of times to see that I wasn’t, like, tripping and I wasn’t, like jet lag delusion in the moment.

    “It was just the best email of all time. I don’t think I’ve ever, I never check my email. After that, never looked at my emails ever again, because it was downhill from there.”

    Dua Lipa headlines Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage on June 28. Her fellow headliners include Coldplay, who perform on June 29, and SZA, who will close the Pyramid Stage on June 30.
