Since it was first promoted by Atlantic Records and the associated artists, the Barbie soundtrack has proven to be a major success in terms of the singles that have emerged from the compilation. The album has propelled several high-profile tracks onto charts worldwide, and in a particular nation, there seems to be a dilemma as to which song is the favorite.

This week, Dua Lipa secures the coveted No. 1 position on the U.K. charts with her single "Dance The Night." This track was chosen as the lead single from the Barbie album, and its commercial triumph has been unwavering since its release. Remarkably, even though it was unveiled more than three months ago, "Dance The Night" has just ascended to the top spot on the U.K. singles chart. Recently, the song was crowned as the most popular track in the country, a significant achievement for Lipa, who hails from the U.K.

"Dance The Night" marks Dua Lipa's fourth No. 1 hit in the U.K. This accomplishment follows the success of previous hits like "One Kiss" with Calvin Harris, "Cold Heart" with Elton John and PNAU, and her own "New Rules." Interestingly, "Dance The Night" is not the first chart-topper from the Barbie soundtrack in the country. In fact, it displaces another song from the same album to take its place at the summit.

In the preceding week, Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For?" held the top position on the U.K. chart. This track, with a notably different mood from "Dance The Night," marked the young star's second No. 1 hit in the country, following her 2020 hit "Bad Guy." While "What Was I Made For?" was the first track from the soundtrack to claim the No. 1 spot, it wouldn't be the last.

At present, the Barbie soundtrack boasts two singles occupying the top two spots on the U.K. charts. This kind of dual success is exceedingly rare for any album, especially a soundtrack tied to a film. The occurrence of two chart-toppers from a single project is uncommon enough, but for them to clinch the No. 1 positions in such close proximity requires a unique and unpredictable series of circumstances.

The Barbie soundtrack has already delivered four top 10 hits in the U.K. Alongside the achievements of Dua Lipa and Billie Eilish, two other tracks have reached the upper echelons of the chart. The collaboration "Barbie World" by Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice, and Aqua achieved a peak position of No. 4. This week, it experiences a slight dip from No. 7 to No. 9. Additionally, Charli XCX's "Speed Drive" raced to No. 9, marking another top 10 success for the pop superstar. In its seventh week on the chart, the track is holding its ground, currently settling at No. 15.
