Just one week after debuting on the U.K. singles chart, Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa’s collaborative dance-pop single “One Kiss” has risen the ranks and topped the tally, granting both artists another leader in their home country.
“One Kiss” is Harris’ ninth No. 1 in the U.K., making him one of the most successful artists in the nation’s history when it comes to leading the charge. He first owned the singles chart in 2009 on his own with “I’m Not Alone,” and since then he’s collected half a dozen additional chart champions as a frontrunner—“Sweet Nothing” with Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine, “Under Control” with Alesso and Hurts, “Summer,” “Blame” with John Newman, and last year’s “Feels” with Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry and Big Sean. He has also appeared at No. 1 as a featured guest on tracks fronted by others, including Dizzee Rascal’s “Dance wiv Me” and Rihanna’s “We Found Love.”
In addition to his nine No. 1 smashes, Harris has also appeared inside the top 10 with 15 other hit songs, many of which stalled in the runner-up slot, resting just shy of raising his count of chart-toppers even higher.
Dua Lipa now has a pair of No. 1 hits to her name, as she first landed at the peak last year with her breakout global success “New Rules.” On top of her two No. 1s, Lipa has also jumped into the top 10 on three other occasions, both as a lead act and as a featured vocalist. She was also featured on the chart-owning charity single "Bridge over Troubled Water" which raised funds for the victims of the terrible Grenfell fire, though tracks that often feature dozens of names all coming together for a cause aren’t often counted toward an individual’s career total.
“One Kiss” first debuted on the tally last week at No. 3, becoming another big hit for both artists. The latest from Harris, which will likely serve as a proper single off his upcoming sixth full-length, has pushed last week’s leader, Drake’s new tune “Nice For What,” off the throne after ruling for just one frame.
