Study Finds Listening To Dua Lipa Will Make You Stronger

Working out to music can improve your performance during a gym session. What if we told you that certain artists can influence how much of an impact that improvement can be? Music has an innate ability to distract us from fatigue, promote endurance and even reduce perceived effort, a new study conducted by Pure Gym has shown. In the study, gym-goers completed three main lifts: bench press, deadlift, and squat in silence, as well as to popular artists from a variety of genres.

The results revealed that just adding music in general can improve your weightlifting performance by a significant 13%, but there are some musicians that help more than others -- participants who worked out to Dua Lipa recorded on average a huge 37.93% increase in the amount of weight lifted versus when they lifted to no music.

Following just behind Dua Lipa was Harry Styles, the current king of pop who left boyband One Direction and has since gone on to have an incredibly successful solo career. Styles was revealed to help us lift about 35% heavier. South Korean troupe BTS closed the top three, helping gym-goers to lift nearly 23% heavier compared to their control. BTS changed the face of K-pop and have one of the most committed fan bases in the world. Rounding out the top five are singer/rapper Lizzo and rapper Eminem, who raises lifting potential to 13.58% and 12.68% heavier, respectively.

These are the top 10 artists who can help you lift more weight (Based on 60kg control weight):

1. Dua Lipa -- 37.93% 23kg

2. Harry Styles -- 35.71% 21kg

3. BTS -- 22.47% 13kg

4. Lizzo -- 13.58% 8kg

5. Eminem -- 12.68% 7.5kg

6. Drake -- 10.61% 6kg

7. Olivia Rodrigo -- 10.27% 6kg

8. Beyonce -- 9.93% 6kg

9. Doja Cat -- 9.44% 5.5kg

10. Metallica -- 8.33% 5kg

Dua Lipa not only is the top artist that can help you lift more weight, but is the second most likely to help you complete more reps too - making a Dua Lipa-studded playlist your best bet for a quality gym session. Completing the top three is Harry Styles at first place and Olivia Rodrigo, who recently won three Grammys this past weekend. The Weeknd and Drake round out the top five.

These are the top 5 artists that can help increase more reps:

1. Harry Styles -- 23.03%

2. Dua Lipa -- 22.03%

3. Olivia Rodrigo -- 6.07%

4. The Weeknd -- 3.88%

5. Drake -- 3.38%

Dua Lipa celebrates her 27th birthday today, so what better way to commemorate the singer's life than with her best fashion moments documented on her Instagram?

When she blew up on the music scene with her 2018 hit single, "One Kiss," the 5'8" British-Albanian star showed us just how much of a fashion icon she really is. Since then, she's graced us with countless impeccable style on red carpets, performances, music videos and everyday life.

Who else could rock a lighter in their hair and make it look this edgy? In a series of photos, Dua showed off wearing a blue and green lighter that look fully functional nestled in her dark tresses.

Wearing one of the tiniest bikinis I've ever seen, Dua Lipa wears a bright yellow string bikini featuring a daisy and marijuana leaf top, with rainbow bottoms. She accessorized the eccentric swimsuit with huge accessories: yellow star earrings and pink shades.

Dua Lipa makes this monochromatic "key lime pie" color themed outfit random with a bright pink bag, lime-yellow shoes, and a dark green trucker hat with frogs on it. Hate to say that it somehow works with her baggy pants and mesh shirt.

Purple and animal print is usually tacky, but the way Dua paired this look with a block heel turns it into high fashion.

Dua Lipa cannot possibly go this summer without doing at least one cowgirl look, and here she does not disappoint. From the yellow-tinted shades to the knee-high cowboy boots, we tip our ten-gallon hat to the singer.

We don't even care if this is an ad for water -- do you see those pink tennis balls? The attention to detail take this outfit to another level. Factor in the bedazzled butterfly on her top matching her bedazzled butterfly socks, like come on!

Ever wondered what Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls would look like if she were a Gen Z-er? Exactly this.

From the set of "Demeanor" music video shoot from Pop Smoke's posthumous album, Faith. The song may be a flop, but the look slays.

C'mon, you can't look at this photo without thinking of Lydia Deets from Beetlejuice.

We are floored by how Dua Lipa managed to execute this very sexy yet highly mismatched outfit at this year's Brit Awards.

Now this is how we should all be living. By wearing a floor-length black silk robe, with -- of course -- fur trim on the sleeves.

The high bun, the bangs, the jewelry, the satin gloves -- Dua Lipa is Audrey Hepburn re-imagined with this amazing modern twist.

Dua Lipa was able to maintain a fierce face while back-bending in a skintight cutout one-piece while her hair is blown away flawlessly. Could this photo be anymore perfectly executed?!

She showed us Audrey, she showed us Lydia. Here, she evokes the spirit of Marilyn Monroe sharing a photo set from her February British Vogue cover shoot.

As you've seen, Dua Lipa isn't afraid of bold. Her winter style, seen here with the same light blue mod flower pattern from her jacket to her tights to her shoes.
