Debuting in 2015, Dua Lipa quickly made a name for herself in the pop music genre within the coming years. Signing with Warner Bros. Records in 2014, she released six singles between 2015 and 2017, until her debut album, the self-titled Dua Lipa, right now the most-streamed female album on Spotify at over 10 billion. Quickly rising up the ranks over the years, Dua Lipa kept herself active with singles such as "One Kiss", a collaboration with Calvin Harris, performing at the opening ceremony of the 2018 UEFA Champions League final, and winning the Best New Artist award at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards, along with the Best Dance Recording award for "Electricity" with Silk City.
Going into 2020, fresh off the release of the hit single "Don't Start Now", peaking at #2 in both the UK Singles Charts and US Billboard Hot 100, and "Physical" shortly after, Dua released her sophomore record Future Nostalgia in March 2020 to widespread acclaim. The album debuted at #3 on the UK albums chart, later peaking at #1 within a few weeks. The album took the streaming world by storm, with its lead single and more such as "Levitating", with a feature from rapper DaBaby, and "Break My Heart" surpassing 1 billion streams on Spotify. The album became only the second female album to reach 10 billion streams on Spotify, behind her own debut self-titled album. The album was nominated for various categories at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, including Best Pop Vocal Album, which it ended up winning, and Album of the Year.
While not active as she was on tour throughout the majority of 2022 promoting her album, she collaborated with artists such as Megan Thee Stallion, Calvin Harris, and Young Thug, with a highly-anticipated third studio album in the works, with a rumored release in 2023.
Dua Lipa has quickly established herself as a household name in the last 3 years, and is still one of the most relevant and biggest artists in the world today. With only further to go, Dua might end up as the biggest artist, male or female, of the 2020s.
