Talking about the European Border Breakers Chart: Dua Lipa already has three top 5 hits under her belt: Be The One, Hotter Than Hell and Blow Your Mind (Mwah). This makes her easily the most successful emerging British artist of the last year, good for a European Border Breakers Award. And she hasn’t even released her debut album yet! This self-titled cd will only come out on 10 February (UPDATE 11 January: the release has been pushed back to 2 June).

In the meantime, while Be The One is re-released in the UK, the rest of Europe is being serviced with a new single. Thinking ‘bout You shows a slowed down, classy, timeless side of the pop princess. And one that fits her well. Is it 10 February already?
