30 is quite different from 21 and 25 tho. She switched it up a bit, not like she would do dance music all of a sudden.

Exactly! She went from good ballads that no one minds hearing on teh radio to EOM which everyone was tired of after listening to it 3 times because that howling is too loud

I feel the lack of lead single performances may be due to the potential awards campaign for DTN from Barbie

 

Here, I have organized a timeline and listed important dates and events for this upcoming awards szn. I will keep updating it if anything changesLet's hope for the best for our female alpha

Monday, Nov. 20: Dua Lipa featured in HITS magazine's 2023 U.K. Special. - Previously, she also graced the cover of HITS for the December 7, 2020 issue leading up to the Grammys.
Wednesday, Nov. 22: Dua Lipa releases her episode of Awards Chatter THR podcast for Barbie. - Billie and Finneas's AC podcast for No Time to Die was also interestingly released on Wednesday (Nov. 24, 2021), the week before the Critics' Choice and Golden Globes sent out their ballot for film nominations. So it is logical to assume that this is a kind of important slot for the award campaign

 

>>> Dua arrives in NYC, USA >>>

 

Tuesday, Nov. 28: Golden Globe sends out film nomination ballots 🗳️
Friday, Dec. 1: Critics Choice sends out film nomination ballots 🗳️

Friday, Dec. 1:  Houdini extended mix releases[rumored]

Friday, Dec. 8: Critics Choice deadline for returning film nomination ballots

 

>>> Not sure if Dua stays in the US after the Fallon show >>>

Saturday, Dec. 9: Most Requested Live Ask Anything Interview. - May have more to do with DL3, but if Dua chooses to do this interview in person, then she will be in California, USA around this time, and there would be many opportunities to campaign

Monday, Dec. 11: Golden Globe Awards nominations announced 📣
Wednesday, Dec. 13: Critics Choice Film nominations announced 📣

 

>>> If nominated for either the Golden Globe or Critics' Choice Awards, I fear we may see a more aggressive campaign during this time (Dec. 13 - Jan. 7), including Year-End and film related event appearances, magazine covers, and televised interviews or podcasts. >>>

Jimmy Fallon Interview is coming  

 

 

 

 

[Miss Harajuku]

if she’s not performing on fallon she can keep it quite honestly 

[popularmoonlight]

Real funny reading some people lose their mind over this song not performing extremely well from start. Has that ever happened to a Dua single? I'm pretty sure Dua and her team are always playing the long game, and they're smart enough to know they would be facing Christmas consequences. I honestly think that if they do gear up some more promo spots, it will be happening next year. 

[lapisnour]

I just really hope Warner doesn’t put her under too much pressure because their vision for DL3 is tremendously unattainable for ANYBODY in this day and age

She's definitely not performing on Monday (Dec. 4) since the musical guest has already been announced.

However, the musical guest has not been announced for Tuesday (Dec. 5). She might still perform the next day, so it will be a two-day joint appearance on Fallon.

Back in the DSN era, the interview was on December 19th, and the performance was the next day, December 20th."

 

I also think that Dua's not going to the USA a week before just for a single interview appearance. There must have been something else planned

That is not happening. Some of you guys are overreacting insanely. It's not like Houdini it's a single from an upcoming artist debut album. Warner's president (Joe Kentish) said recently that they want her to be big and they want her eras to be long. We are the very beggining.

 

JK: “We want Dua’s campaigns to be long campaigns. We love day one success, but it’s not a North Star. We want her songs to be everywhere. We want her songs to be the finales of huge stadium shows. We want her songs to be number one radio records in multiple territories. We want her songs to go on and have viral moments. We want her songs to be sung at festivals. A successful Dua campaign is one that lasts a couple of years or more. We want more diamond records. We want streams of two billion plus. We want her to be the most streamed artist in the world.”

 

That's a good reading for you guys while we wait for the extended version: https://www.musicweek.com/labels/read/her-ambition-is-energising-joe-kentish-team-warner-salute-dua-lipa-s-return/088857

EOM is about to surpass RITD as her most streamed single, reaching 1.5b streams on Spotify alone. Tiring, my ass

haha not what I was saying weeks ago ... papa Lipa will save money on promotion cause they know she has brands deals scheduled and she will sell another tour anyway

 

"Houdini" video was basically PUMA commercial, so next one will be maybe sponsored by Porsche
