“It’s nice after you work so hard, especially despite the pandemic, when you’ve got limited resources.  So, it means a lot to me. ‘Levitating’ doing its thing on the Billboard chart is absolutely surreal. That song has been my baby for so long, and to have it out in the world, and for people’s response to be the way that it is … it’s just absolutely mind-blowing to me. I’m really, really, really grateful for it all,” Dua tells Billboard about learning of her accomplishment.

In addition, Levitating is also ‘the longest-charting Hot 100 hit in the history of Warner Records.’
