single Dua Lipa - "Houdini"

[Relampago.]

The fact this is actually kinda making a resurgence is a big kii

 

I was fully convinced we were delusional about #Houdinuary but here we are

[Asherio]

There are so many quotable posts in here that could backfire hard in the next few months.

the song is not good enough to receive even more support, i still get the YouTube ads with it to promote memes with it and i never had it with any other song  

 

let's move on to the actual lead single, hopefully Levitating 3.0

we aren't desperate to move on so fast to another single idk why all of you want the second single so fast just because houdini isn't performing well like i'm sure dua is going to promote the album and release more singles soon...

Tbh Dua deserved a break after the CONSTANT FN promo / tour... it's going to be full steam ahead once the album campaign kicks off.

Her last TV performance was almost 3 years ago 

 

This beach doesn't need a break!

As long as the song does well internationally it doesnt matter how it does in the US. I am sure she has more US friendly bops in the album to come along the way.

now why is she playing Houdini, was this the plan all along?

These little steps always happen with her sleeper hits.

 

its coming

I’m glad you guys are hearing what I heard since day one 

[Shaner69]

Lol they were kinda smart realsing this early now that I think about it. I bet alot of people pulled a Houdini at the Family Christmas party and left early. 

 

Her mind.

Weave the ceiling from tomorrow
Free the people from daylight
All the plans go out the window
When we're out this late at night

I think she should release a new single in January anyway, Houdini can always grow even with another song out

 

But she needs to START start the era, it feels like we’ve been in the DTN Grammy/Oscar campaign era so far and Houdini was just tossed out. I need January and onwards to be all about the new album. We need performances especially, but also Live in LAs, a promo single, the 2nd single, album and tour announcements, like c’mon

It’s all coming, be patient. You can’t rush perfection.

I say we should ban the Dance The Oscar Nom Away stans from this thread 

 

 

I am still very confused by her starting a new era and then going houdini and shifting all focus on the Oscar campaign for a nom that she won't get. I understand that this chance might not happen again soon and a performance of DTN with the Barbie cast recreating the scene would eat, but Warner should've known that WWIMF? and IJK are way stronger than DTN and it's not worth abandoning her long-anticipated album campaign.

 

Tldr: She should've just let Mark Ronson do most of the campaigning. Ben wouldn't have let this happen.

I agree that the second single to be released in January. The two singles can co-exist and she can promote them together. I am thinking the album will be released Q1 if that is the case the album needs a song to help promote and give exposure leading up to its release.

I don’t think Warner would let her announce about DL3 era till the time she does not get a stable hit. Think that album might arrive in May-June due to all these campaigns….

Tate stans running back to this thread now that its smashing again

 

[xicnx]

Houdini is the 13th biggest percentage gainer among the Top 200 Global Daily Top Songs chart[28/12] and the 8th biggest percentage gainer among the top 50

Spoiler

Dua's past sleeper hits usually attract more new listeners on Fridays, so tomorrow's update on this Friday will be crucial to determine Houdini's future performance

 

Houdini's Friday performance has been affected in the past by Christmas songs. Here are its first six Friday percentage gains: -6.39%, -0.40%, 0.70%, -4.44%, -2.15%, 5.03%. Let's hope the increasing trend continues tomorrow(Friday's update)
