Dua Lipa Achieves Something Almost Impossible: Dethrone The British Musical King Of The Last Decade

 The artist has just been named the most played artist of the year 2020 by the British music industry. The body that quantifies streaming, television and radio reproductions has placed the London soloist at the top of the top thanks to the songs included in the different editions of Future Nostalgia .

Quite an event that has not occurred since 2016 since in the previous three years this list had only had a proper name and a single surname: Ed Sheeran . In fact, the British artist had achieved the title for 5 of the last 6 years. Only Coldplay had managed to break its reign in 2016 and now it has been played again in 2020 with Dua Lipa .

The musician has not gone very far in this year's rankings and is second behind the vocalist and ahead of another artist, in this case American: Ariana Grande . In the Top 10 there are great world-class artists such as The Weeknd, Little Mix or Coldplay who give an idea of ​​the feat achieved by Dua Lipa and his most recent record project.

"Thank you all so much for listening to me and enjoying my music during 2020. I am incredibly proud to be the most played artist in the whole of the UK. I just wanted Future Nostalgia to bring some happiness to people during a very difficult time. Thank you all those who supported me and PPL for the great job it does ensuring that artists and musicians get paid when their music is played "explained Dua Lipa in a statement

As strange as it may seem, the list of songs is not commanded by any of the songs from the London album but by The Weeknd's Blinding lights . Don't start now ranks second ahead of Higher Love from Kygo and Whitney Houston.
