So what exactly is Daddy Lipa doing to make sure his daughter's new track is a smash

 

saving money on promo cause he knows she will sell out another 100 millions world tour next year + sponsorships from brands anyway LOL

Mariah above Dua. Close this thread until January.

It's doing great in Belgium and Netherlands tho. Aren't these two first to jump on future classics?

 

 

 

[NostalgiawithDua]

550K in US is pathetic, wtf…

[KatyPrismSpirit]

Yeah USA can be written off at this point. Early USA promo was probz needed to give this legs. :/

Netherlands was the first country where calm down by rema was a hit so i suppose

[NostalgiawithDua]

She really need to perform, don’t think label will announce the album, till she gets a stable hit. She’s not the kind of girl who gets everything easily, all that YT shorts promotion for nothing….

Smash in Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden SHE IS COMING

Same, I feel like I should love this song, but something about it is lacking. Listening to it is like sleeping with a hot guy, but you never get off. 

so accurate  you still play it and you still remember sometimes, but there’s no pleasure 

[louvronthebrain]

this is REALLY bad  idk whats happening 

[seanbworth]

Nobody is talking about Dance The Night, it had a pretty impressive Spotify update, increasing on US Spotify. It’s extremely stable now on the weekend updates too which we struggled with for MONTHS , haha! Coming to the conclusion that the American GP still recognizes Dance The Night as Dua’s huge comeback. Houdini will probably get that attention in 2024, I’m sure!

Are you a new Dua fan? You don't seem to be familiar with how her songs behave.

no girl i’m pretty sure about how her songs performs BUT this is really disappointing considering it’s a lead single following an huge era, warner will certainly do something for houdini when christimas season ends but for now… 

[CosTaSsSs]

She's usually a slow burner. Her songs take some time to build so I wouldn't really stress yet. However, I can understand that people were tricked with the teasers and expected a more explosive chorus as previewed. I am not stressing for this, even if it doesn't click the next single could probably do the job. 

[B-Luke]

No point in following this chart performance for the next 6 weeks honestly. Let‘s just wait for Dec 27 to arrive

 

[Cottonmouth]

After letting it sit with me, I think it's just the post-chorus I don't like. It feels shoe-horned in. I don't think it compliments the song at all. 

 

The hook is great as is the music video. Although I don't see this smashing or being a slow burner. I see this as her Lights Up, with her Adore You and Watermelon Sugar coming straight after. It does what it needs to do in starting the era.
