Throughout the latter part of June, Dua Lipa brought her Radical Optimism Tour to the United Kingdom, where she remains one of the biggest pop stars of all time. The singer touched down for two shows at Wembley Stadium in London on June 20 and 21, then moved to Liverpool before flying to Ireland for one night in Dublin, all before taking some time off.
Her return to the U.K. reignited interest in Radical Optimism, which has become a major hit on the charts once more. Thanks to all the excitement generated by her concert trek, the full-length appears on five charts in the U.K. at the moment. It didn’t claim a spot on any of them just days ago, but it manages to reenter all five at the same time.
Radical Optimism Returns to the Top 40
Among all five of those tallies, Radical Optimism only reaches the top 40 on one list, the Official Album Downloads ranking, where it breaks back in at No. 28. The set returns in similar positions on the Official Albums Sales, Official Albums Streaming and Official Physical Albums charts, where it comes in at Nos. 46, 47, and 50, respectively.
Dua Lipa’s Shortest-Charting Album
Most of Lipa’s albums have spent hundreds of weeks on the rankings, but Radical Optimism easily stands out as her worst performer. The singer’s most recent project has not managed a year on any tally, and may never make it to that milestone. The full-length has only pushed past half a year on a few lists, as the set has experienced the shortest stay of her career.
Dua Lipa’s Album Hit No. 1 Almost Everywhere
While it hasn’t held on for very long, Radical Optimism was a quick win. The full-length reached No. 1 on all but the Official Albums Streaming chart, where it missed the mark by just one spot.
Dua Lipa’s Entire Discography Rises
As Radical Optimism enjoys an impressive comeback, both of the Grammy winner’s other two full-lengths also rise. Dua Lipa and Future Nostalgia appear on the same trio of tallies – the Official Albums, Official Albums Streaming and the Official Album Downloads charts, soaring in some instances and returning in others.
