And you were still right. Houdini stomps on DSN. It is what it is.

You're right. I think I confused it with Levitating

Yeah Levitating was stuck at 2-2.5M for like 6 months until April 2021 nnnn

No but seriously the fact that Levitating was the biggest song of the year in the US but peaked at no.5 in the UK is

Levitating chart run is very weird in the UK. It was a hit on October 2020 and then again in May+June 2021

In payola we trust

A lof of you make the assumption that this will start smashing in Feb or March just because Dua songs take some time til they peak. But what if the song doesn't have legs? 

 

I like Dua, but something tells me that this song won't fall in that category. I blame Lame Oompala. 

Don't Start Now has been trash since day one, I never cared about it. 

 

It's only second day. Relax. This is coming to smash like Dance the Night

This is quite a bold thing to say here ngl.

The way this is slowly turning into a “Houdini. What Went Wrong?” thread 

 

It’s been three days…

Oceania coming through and reaching new peaks 

 

For Spotify, it may not be an instant hit among the GP(since it's definitely different from Dua's previous work), but that's okay, and that's why promotion exists

 

 

I just want to add to the discussion that we fans and casuals, gays crazy about pop culture, knows that this is her lead single and it’s getting the lead single push. I wonder if the GP is seeing or will see as a lead, since Dance the Night was a huge summer smash. This coming so soon afterwards makes me think that for them it’s more of a follow up and not the proper start of a new era, so DTN lowkey ate a bit of the comeback hype and the wow moment after she was absent for so long…

 

Just food for thought. I still think it’s too soon for big takes and there’s a whole era to happen yet

UK OCC:

#1 NOW AND THEN (10,856 / 5,535 physical)

#2 LOVIN ON ME (8,210)

#3 HOUDINI (7,837

Hopefully it'll increase the gap throughout the week and at least debuts at #2 but a #3 debut is still great

 

 

I think a lot of people are forgetting that a song doesn't have to go #1 to be a hit, if it debuts and stays in the top 10 then I wouldn't stress about it

I told y’all this was her Take My Breath

This is a nightmare actually

Also know she still has DTN in rotation everywhere which is performing very well.

Itll take DTN to fall of a little more so that people focus more on Houdini

if u told me that the beatles and jack harlow would block the DL3 lead single from #1 three weeks ago, i would’ve seriously thrown hands. 

 

Inb4 some users start saying "Yeah this song aged like milk already" all of a sudden

Levitating was a big hit in the UK, but it peaked early on the charts. The chart rules mean that after 10 weeks most songs get their streams cut in half, hence the weird chart run.
