They dont get that there are two types of stars:

 

Type A: Huge stanbase type like Taylor, Beyonce, Gaga, Billie, Olivia, etc => usually debut with very high numbers due to obsessed fanbase that quite frankly are that dedicated that they only listen to them and barely have variety in their listening behavior

 

Type B: Medium stanbase, however great appeal among casual listeners like Rihanna, Dua, Bruno Mars, etc. => usually dont have the craziest debuts, however they man manage to be liked by pretty much any stanbase. They dont have a big group of people just exclusively listening to them, however at the same time, pretty much anybody likes them and their outputs and after a while adds their songs to their playlists. This usually results in higher peaks months after the initial release of their songs

i just checked out that greedy song bc everyone on here keeps talking about it and... it's sounds like one of the collab droplets she did during DL1 if DL1 was today 

lmfao this is funny considering greedy is far more fresher sounding and brings something new and exciting back to pop which is that late 00s loose sound. and no NOTHING dua has done has even approached that rhythmic genre considering shes only done tropical pop, mid tempo ballads, and retro dance pop. 

 

theres a reason its smashing and it clear that its bc the GP wants a fresh break from all the retro throwback pop these past few years

At this point the late 00s is 15 years ago, so yeah it might aswell be retro

This needs TikTok, otherwise it will die slowly

exactly.

Reminder that ATRL said Dance the Night was flopping/underperforming too and look how that turned out. Dua is a longevity artist

its technically 20 years but i guess its close enough. either way, timbaland rehash is smashing bc theres no other mainstream pop bringing back that sound therefore its FRESH. and will sound fresh and new despite it being a “retro” sound. nothing fresh or new about houdini. which is fine, ive already said she needs to build a brand but the greedy lashings in here are out of bitterness!

Well then exit this thread

 

It’s going to be so fun in this thread watching this song blow up and back-quoting all of the flop comments. Cant wait!

 

Still laughing at you guys seeing numbers from day 2 and being so quick to label it a flop, knowing Dua’s track record. You really think this isn’t going to be a hit? Come on.

dance the night was the centra song of the biggest movie in years

catch me or i go, houdini 

TikTok ruined the music industry... ban it already

One of the most annoying ATRL developments in recent weeks is the fake Tate McRae stanning. I still remember the flop OG thread with the Greedy snippet and just me and a couple of others excited and now it’s been taken over by a bunch of people that were probably calling her the Jessica Simpson to Billie and Olivia two months ago and now she’s a pop messiah………. Success stans are really something

What Was I Made For? melody sounds several times and its actual scene is the climax of the movie, Pink by Lizzo plays twice in the movie (and the lyrics are actually talking about what’s going on in the movie), I’m Just Ken has the longest musical number by a large margin and Barbie World is the title track sampling the most famous Barbie-related track ever. But yeah, “central”.

I cannot stand that song, after you hear those 10 seconds on social media 150 times a day and that autotuned nasal fake baby voice ... no thank you

 

Nobody will know who she is next year this time

And people also said the same about basically every dua lipa song initially. She proves you wrong, every time.

Nah of course this will smash in a few months time. Not even FN was an instant smash album. Remember when 5SOS blocked it from #1? And then boom.
