Houdini is definitely her best lead, the sound off an artist truly coming into her own 

This has to be one of the most delusional posts I have ever read on this site

 

An insult to the amazing DSN, how can you say Houdini is better?

 

Also "artist truly coming into her own" while serving the same 80s asthetic she served the previous era?

[bearman]

Some of you have been so used to streaming farm'd hits and totally forgot how actual humans consume music.

we should’ve known that this is what happens when you leave TAP management and rely on family members that don’t have experience managing a massive superstar

Same 80s? I also think you must have bumped your head to a new level of delusion. We all know you never was one of the smartest members on here, but the fact you can't even keep eras in music apart really shows you hit an ever deeper low in incompetence damn. You keep suprising in the worst way possible.

The meltdown over a simple opinion  Houdini is way more raunchy, sexy and Dua seems way more confident in the music video. 
 

DSN is amazing and one of my favourite pop songs ever, but I always said that at the start of the FN era she still had that innocent DL1 glow about her. That’s completely gone now.

[KatyPrismSpirit]

not the 80s music arguments again

[Solaria]

Anyway, perched for the extended mix. I need a 10 minute version of that outro alone. That can be a whole other song 

[NostalgiawithDua]

DSN stabilised around 3-4M till February and then slowly went up the charts, Houdini should be stable around 3.5-4.5M, her songs always do well on Monday…

[punisher]

Obviously DL3 is gonna sound somewhat similar to FN, all pop music is similar in it's own way. That style worked very well commercially for FN, why would she completely leave it and do a 180? What'd you expect she's not gonna pull out an acoustic guitar and make Joni Mitchell music

I really hope this wont serve Attention to Training Season’s PTTR 

This already outdid Attention tbh 

Let’s just wait until monday-tuesday update before we freak out guys 

[bearman]

How can anyone hear the outro of Houdini and say it's similar to anything on FN?

And even if it is it really doesn’t matter. ATRL loves to say they want something different with every new album but then when it’s not what they expected they come running back saying ‘where are the bops’ ‘ofcourse she flopped, too out of left field, she Katy’d herself’

Training Season sponsored by TikTok is coming ya’ll!

[shark_heather]

This forum is insane 

 

We spend a week talking about how we need to be patient and Dua’s songs need time to peak and especially a pop solo song etc etc and since yesterday we are getting all the meltdowns cause this is not top5 everywhere 🤣

Obsessed with the clown laugh in the background during the final chorus.

Houdini >>> DSN >>>>>>>> New Love

No it didn't. It stabilized around 2-2.5 Mio before smashing

She's either a faceless popstar or the new Taylor Swift depending on the day 

[Crayzik]

Maybe you could cause a girl to change HER WAYS

 

 

 

This sounds like a multiple weeks at #1 type of smasha!

Maybe if we plant a story that she’s actually Australian they’ll support ha, it seemed to work for 5SOS and Kylie

Girl, I just checked Spotify Stats of DSN, it was stable inside top 10 for months!

 

Check for yourself….

[Iris]

Has the GP ever been into Psychedelic music tho? Houdini is risky so it takes time and payola to cause the GP to change their ways.

They want to cancel her like they did Cheryl, Rita etc. Too bad for them she is extremely global

It’s so predictable. Once you start smashing on day one, everyone switches and put these crazy ass expectations on you. I remember it happened to Vampire. All of a sudden it was a sophomore slump with GUTS the tracks weren’t pulling viral numbers like DL+G4u
