Blink and you might have missed it: Dua Lipa's “Illusion” was embedded Advertising signHot Dance/Electronic Songs chart a week ago at No. 42, from one day of activity.
A week later, the song reaches No. 1 on the chart dated April 27, as Lipa makes history at Nos. 1, 2 and 3.
“Illusion” peaks with 9.1 million official streams, 7.4 million in radio audience and 2,000 sales in the United States on April 12-18 following its April 11 release, according to Luminate.
With the crown, Lipa adds her third Hot Dance/Electronic Songs No. 1 — tying Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga for the most by women since the survey began in 2013. (The only ones with more overall: The Chainsmokers, with six, and Calvin Harris and Zedd, each with four also have three.
A new No. 1 song to match the top mark among women would be reason enough to celebrate for Lipa, but that's not the end of her milestone week on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs. Her own “Houdini,” which has reigned for 16 of the past 22 weeks, follows at No. 2, while “Training Season” sits comfortably at No. 3, making her the first woman to claim the top three in a week. Among all acts, it scores just the third such triple, following The Chainsmokers, with “Something Just Like This” (featuring Coldplay), “Paris” and “Closer” (featuring Halsey, charting March 18, 2017) and Drake, with “Falling Back,” “Texts Go Green,” and “Massive” (July 2, 2022).
If Lipa's trio of tracks can hold on to the top three next week, she will become the first artist to accomplish the feat twice.
Additionally, moving up 41 spots in just one week, “Illusion” achieves the longest jump to No. 1 in the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart's 11-year history, nearly doubling the 22-1 jump for Lady Gaga's “Rain on” and Ariana Grande's “I” in 2020. Additionally, “Illusion” ties Calvin Harris' “Slide,” with Frank Ocean and Migos, for the biggest one-week rise on the chart overall (48-7, March 18, 2017).
“Illusion,” “Houdini,” and “Training Season” are all slated to appear on Radical OptimismLipa's upcoming third studio album, out May 3rd.
