  • Dua Lipa has released countless pop gems throughout her career, from "Be The One" to "Levitating."
  • These include two tracks from her latest album, "Radical Optimism" ("Houdini" and "Maria").

Dua Lipa has released three studio albums throughout her career — most recently "Radical Optimism," a fizzy journey through Lipa's dating life.

Lipa has proven herself to be a formidable force in pop music, though all three of her albums contain both gems and duds. Business Insider's senior music reporter broke down the five best and five worst cuts in her catalog.
