回复：Billboard’s Greatest Pop Stars

In February, she dropped a reissue of the album, subtitled The Moonlight Edition, a collection of b-sides from Future Nostalgia. The release featured a number of remixes and new tracks, including the reggae-tinged “We’re Good” – which arrived with a bizarre, Titanic-influenced music video, taken from the point of view of a lobster. The modest success of “We’re Good,” which peaked at No. 31 on the Hot 100, proved Lipa’s range when it comes to exploring other musical styles, and even going out of her comfort zone creatively to try something different for her visuals.
2月，她放弃了重新发行的专辑，副标题为《月光版》，这是《未来怀旧》的b面集。发行版包括一些混音和新曲目，包括带有雷鬼色彩的“我们很好”——该视频来自龙虾的奇怪、受泰坦尼克号影响的音乐视频。《We're Good》的适度成功在热门100强中排名第31位，这证明了Lipa在探索其他音乐风格方面的范围，甚至创造性地走出她的舒适区，为她的视觉效果尝试不同的东西。

This was all a precursor to her triumphant Grammy performance in March, of the painfully catchy megahits “Levitating” and “Don’t Start Now” which highlighted Lipa’s impressive choreography during her show-stopping performance. (Lipa later thanked her fans for “bullying” her into becoming a better dancer after her infamous “go girl, give us nothing” Jingle Ball performance that was heavily memed.) Later that night, Lipa snagged a Grammy for best pop vocal album for Future Nostalgia, her third career win at the awards.
这一切都是她3月份格莱美胜利表演的前奏，她痛苦而引人入胜的巨集《Levitating》和《Don't Start Now》突出了Lipa在停止表演期间令人印象深刻的舞蹈编排。（Lipa后来感谢她的粉丝们在她臭名昭著的“去女孩，什么都不给我们”的叮当球表演后“欺负”她成为一名更好的舞者，这种表演被严重迷住了。）当晚晚些时候，Lipa为《未来怀旧》赢得了格莱美最佳流行声乐专辑，这是她职业生涯的第三次获得奖项。

Despite never reaching No. 1 on the Hot 100, “Levitating” proved to be a stable success, as it sat comfortably on the Hot 100 all year long. It became a 2021 anthem, inspiring its own TikTok meme, and spent a record-breaking 37 weeks climbing the Radio Songs chart before reaching No.1 in June, over a year after its initial release. Eventually, the track earned the top spot on the year-end Hot 100 — the first time a woman had topped that year-end tally solo since Adele in 2011.
尽管从未在热门100强中排名第一，但事实证明“悬浮”取得了稳定的成功，因为它全年舒适地坐在热门100强中。它成为2021年的国歌，激发了自己的抖音表情包，并在首次发行一年多后，在6月登上广播歌曲排行榜之前，花了37周时间攀登广播歌曲排行榜，达到第1位。最终，该曲目在年终热门100强中名列前茅——这是自2011年阿黛尔以来，女性首次在年终理货单中名列榜首。

“‘Levitating’ doing its thing on the Billboard chart is absolutely surreal,” Lipa told Billboard earlier this month. “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.” “Levitating” quietly grew into Lipa’s biggest track, with its funky groove and addictive, clap-filled chorus echoing through the aisles of every grocery store and through the speakers at every house party in Summer 2021.
Lipa本月早些时候告诉Billboard：“‘让’在公告牌排行榜上做事情绝对是超现实的。”“这首歌一直是我的孩子，为了把它发布到世界上，为了让人们的反应成为现在的样子，它对我来说绝对是令人惊叹的。我真的非常非常感激这一切。”2021年夏天，“悬浮”悄然发展成为利帕最大的曲目，其时髦的凹槽和令人上瘾的、充满掌声的合唱在每家杂货店的过道和每个家庭聚会的演讲者中回荡。

On top of Dua Lipa’s solo singles, she was also featured on Pop Smoke’s posthumous sophomore album, Faith, on the track “Demeanor” – which was accompanied by a lavish, Marie Antoinette-esque music video. Lipa was also joined by Elton John for a soft piano rendition of “Love Again,” which turned into several unexpected but well-received collaborations between the two, including an orchestral take on “Bennie and the Jets” at John’s pre-Oscars benefit.
除了Dua Lipa的单曲外，她还出现在Pop Smoke死后大二专辑Faith的歌曲《Demeanor》中——该曲目配有一段奢华的Marie Antoinette风格的音乐视频。Lipa还和Elton John一起演奏了《再次爱》的软钢琴演奏，这变成了两人之间几次出乎意料但广受好评的合作，包括在John的奥斯卡前福利下管弦乐队对《Bennie and the Jets》的表演

The duo’s most successful teaming, however, came with John’s latest album The Lockdown Sessions, where Lipa provided vocals for “Cold Heart,” a hybrid cover-mashup of several classic Elton John hits. The collaboration secured Elton John’s first Hot 100 hit in over 20 years (peaking at No. 11 in December), proving that Lipa’s star power could transcend generational barriers.
然而，这对组合最成功的团队合作是John的最新专辑《The Lockdown Sessions》，Lipa为《冷心》配音，这是埃尔顿·约翰几首经典热门歌曲的混合封面混音。这次合作确保了埃尔顿·约翰20多年来的首支热门100强热门歌曲（12月排名第11），证明利帕的明星力量可以超越代际障碍。

As her final encore for Future Nostalgia, Lipa gave the electro pop track “Love Again” new life over the summer by releasing it as a single nearly 15 months after its initial drop, practically unheard of at a time in pop music when album cycles often come and go in as little as a few weeks. The track was paired with a surreal western-style music video, featuring imagery of cowboys, crying clowns, and giant eggs – another creative leap from Lipa this year. In addition to her musical efforts, Lipa also founded Service95, a weekly newsletter compiled of specially curated lists, features, music recommendations, and more to debut early next year — potentially branding her as the next great lifestyle guru, with a perfectly tailored soundtrack to match.
作为她对《未来怀旧》的最后一首加演，Lipa在最初发行近15个月后以单曲形式发行电子流行歌曲《再次爱》，在夏季赋予了它新的生命，这在流行音乐中几乎闻所未闻，当时专辑周期通常在几周内来来来往往。该曲目与超现实的西式音乐视频配对，以牛仔、哭泣的小丑和巨型鸡蛋的图像为特色——这是利帕今年的又一次创造性飞跃。除了她的音乐努力外，Lipa还创建了Service95，这是一份每周时事通讯，汇编了特别精选的列表、功能、音乐推荐等，将于明年初首次亮相——这可能会让她成为下一个伟大的生活方式大师，并配以完美的配乐。

If anything, continuing to expand her Future Nostalgia world proves Lipa’s dedication to giving her fans new content during a year when touring and concerts were still unable to go as planned – as the Future Nostalgia tour was postponed for a second time, after being planned for Spring of 2020. Lipa didn’t let that stop her from creating new, visually stunning performances, including a massive medley at this year’s Brit Awards, and several alternative versions of her music videos.
如果有什么不同的话，继续扩大她的未来怀旧世界证明，Lipa致力于在巡回演出和音乐会仍然无法按计划进行一年里为粉丝们提供新内容——因为未来怀旧之旅在计划于2020年春季后第二次推迟。Lipa没有让这阻止她创作新的、视觉上令人惊叹的表演，包括今年英国颁奖典礼上的大规模混音，以及她音乐视频的几个替代版本。

In a streaming era where album cycles are becoming shorter and more compact, Lipa has proved that her star power is only increasing as her Future Nostalgia era enters yet another phase, over two years after she released its lead single. The Future Nostalgia Tour is slated to begin in February 2022, where the album will – hopefully — finally be heard live by fans around the world. And after that, Lipa’s masterful workings of her latest album cycle should make her next album one of the most anticipated pop eras in recent memory.
在一个专辑周期越来越短、越来越紧凑的流媒体时代，Lipa已经证明，在她发行主打单曲两年多后，随着她未来的怀旧时代进入另一个阶段，她的明星力量只会增加。未来怀旧之旅定于2022年2月开始，希望这张专辑最终能现场听到世界各地的粉丝。在那之后，Lipa在她最新专辑周期中的精湛作品应该使她的下一张专辑成为最近记忆中最受期待的流行时代之一。

No. 8 — Justin Bieber
The veteran superstar reasserted himself at the center of popular music in 2021, with two summer-owning hit singles.
这位经验丰富的超级巨星在2021年凭借两首夏季热门单曲重新成为流行音乐的中心。

n mid-March, already four singles deep off his then-soon-to-come sixth studio album Justice, Justin Bieber was throwing up alley-oops on the Hot 100 — though often without his audience of dedicated Beliebers slamming them down for No. 1 debuts, as they would in past eras. The singles Bieber selected for Justice by that point were all obvious hits: Religious jam and lead single “Holy”featuring Chance the Rapper earned its peak at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in November of 2020, the Benny Blanco-assisted ballad follow-up “Lonely”found its footing at No. 12 in early 2021, and JB’s third and fourth singles, the triumphant stadium pop anthems “Anyone” and “Hold On,” peaked at No. 6 and No. 20, respectively.
3月中旬，贾斯汀·比伯（Justin Bieber）已经四首单曲远离了他当时即将发行的第六张录音室专辑《正义》，他在热门100强中抛出了胡同——尽管通常没有敬业的信徒观众像过去一样，为第1名首次亮相而猛烈抨击他们。当时被选为正义的单曲Bieber都是显而易见的热门单曲：宗教果酱和主打单曲《神圣》，由说唱歌手Chance the Rapper主演，早在2020年11月，在公告牌热门100强中排名第3位，本尼·布兰科协助的民谣后续单曲《孤独》在2021年初排名第12位，JB的第三和第四首单曲，胜利的体育场流行歌曲《Anyone》和《Hold On》，分别达到第6和第20位。

But these chart performances weren’t exactly what we were used to from a man who was just five years removed from three back-to-back-to-back Hot 100 No. 1 singles in his seemingly effortlessly successful Purpose era, which then earned him the title of Billboard’s Greatest Pop Star for 2016. JB’s footing was still a little off from the critical iffy-ness of 2020’s Changes, which won some fans with its R&B flair, but fell short of Purpose numbers and failed to produce a Hot 100-topper. And in 2021, he needed an organic hit; one that arrived as naturally as the covers he’d uploaded to YouTube as a pre-teen.
但这些排行榜表演并不完全像我们习惯的那样，他从他似乎毫不费力的成功目的时代连续三首热门100首单曲只走了五年，这为他赢得了2016年公告牌最伟大的流行歌星的称号。JB的基础仍然与2020年Changs的批评性不确定度略有不同，该变化以其R&B天赋赢得了一些粉丝，但没有达到目的数字，未能产生100强的热门榜首。2021年，他需要有机点击；一个和他十几岁时上传到YouTube的封面一样自然的热门歌曲。

In came “Peaches,” a track Bieber partly debuted on an Instagram Live jam session months before, and one that he’d officially tease through a March 17 NPR Tiny Desk (Home) Concert. Bieber’s stripped-down keyboard mess-around came just days before the album was released, and the frenzy it created on social media helped launch the song atop the Hot 100 from the jump, with two R&B singer-songwriter mainstays in Giveon and (fellow Canadian) Daniel Caesar both earning their first chart-toppers. And just like that, JB had his seventh No. 1 hit on the chart, making his Justice yet another win in a career full of commercial bounce-backs.
几个月前，Bieber在Instagram Live即兴表演中部分亮相的曲目“Peaches”，并在3月17日的NPR小书桌（家庭）音乐会上正式取笑了这首歌。比伯的剥离键盘混乱发生在专辑发行前几天，它在社交媒体上制造的疯狂帮助这首歌从跳跃中登上了热门100强，Giveon的两名R&B歌手兼作曲家中流砥柱和（加拿大同事）Daniel Caesar都获得了他们的第一张排行榜冠军。就这样，JB在排行榜上排名第七，使他的正义在充满商业反弹的职业生涯中再次获胜。
