It’s been a little more than two years since Dua Lipa released her third studio album, Radical Optimism, which arrived in May 2024. The title launched in lofty positions in many major nations, but it was not the hit-making machine that her two previous efforts – her self-titled debut full-length and its follow-up, Future Nostalgia – turned out to be.
Since promotion of Radical Optimism largely quieted down, the pop superstar shared her only two live albums. Dua Lipa Live From the Royal Albert Hall dropped in December 2024, only about half a year after Radical Optimism. Dua Lipa — Live From Mexico hit streaming platforms and download stores last month, and this week, it debuts on several charts in the United Kingdom. As it arrives, Live From Mexico becomes one of the Grammy winner’s worst performers on the lists it appears on, though the fact that a live effort ranks inside the top 20 on any tally is noteworthy, and it speaks to her popularity.
Dua Lipa Debuts Live From Mexico on Two Charts
Live From Mexico debuts highest between the two U.K.-based tallies it appears on this week on the Official Albums Streaming chart. On that ranking of the most-played collections on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, specifically in the U.K., Live From Mexico is new at No. 16. Over on the Official Albums rundown, which is built using both sales and streaming data, the release starts its time at No. 21.
Live From Mexico Misses the Top 10
While Live From Mexico may earn its most impressive debut this time around on the Official Albums Streaming chart, the project does mark a new career low point for Lipa. Live From Mexico is her fourth set to rank on the list, and her first to miss the top 10. Her self-titled debut peaked at No. 3. Sophomore album Future Nostalgia spent 10 weeks running the show, and Radical Optimism only missed the summit by one rung.
Dua Lipa’s Earlier Live Set Peaked Lower
Live From Mexico is not Lipa’s lowest-peaking project when it comes to the main albums tally in the U.K. That distinction belongs to Live From the Royal Albert Hall, which topped out at No. 40. Her three studio LPs have all cracked the top three, with both Future Nostalgia and Radical Optimism running the show, while the full-length that started it all and introduced the name Dua Lipa to millions of listeners around the world climbed as high as No. 3.
Dua Lipa Charts Two Titles This Week
Lipa fills two spaces on both the Official Albums and Official Albums Streaming charts this week. As Live From Mexico arrives inside the top 40, her namesake debut album drops, but not by much.

On the Official Albums Streaming tally, Dua Lipa dips from No. 62 to No. 65. On the much more competitive Official Albums chart, the same introductory release descends from No. 70 to No. 78.
Dua Lipa has now spent 470 weeks on the streaming rundown, and just under 450 as one of the 100 most-consumed albums in the U.K. It remains her longest-running success by hundreds of frames on both charts.
