I am not lying when I say this is getting some traction on TikTok… I have seen at least 7 10k+ likes videos of people doing the Houdini Grammy choreo from the past 24 hours :duca:

I love that they use the live version of the song keep the “Let’s Go!” part.

Can this song just fade away already so TS can take over? Houdini is going to go nowhere with 2.8 mil updates for the last 3 months. No sign of growth. Bye.

 

WE NEED TS FOCUS!

Nowhere? 
It’s kinda obvious Godini will join her 1B club at this point. Suffer!

I honestly considered this song "done, and dusted" until the extended version released.  The extra vocal parts, and instrumentals, have pushed this bop to the top of my daily rotation. Dua did it, again :clap3:

This is literally on top20 with 2.8M 3 months after release. No sign of declining you meant.

Why would Dua's team drop this song when it's stable? It's not hemorrhaging in streams, pop radio seems to like it, and it'll probably hit 500M by the end of the year. People are so used to fanbase driven, Tiktok assisted, quick little hits and forgot about letting a song just do its thing. It has room to grow and even if it never sees the Top 10 it doesn't mean it should get abandoned. That's not how to build an audience :rip:

It's been three months since this was released. Releasing nothing would be an era suicide in the streaming era. They have played this 'constant releases' thing since day one and it has worked, some songs outshine others but it works in the long run

everything you said except the fact I'm expecting 700-800M by the end of the year

I love how you can kinda hear some raw synths and instruments. We all thought the album was gonna be psychedelic but it’s more like authentic 80s music instead of the overproduced synths from the past few years.

TTH placement drops mostly resulting in  Training Season’s losses. Houdini’s staying stable.

Houdini  — 2,875,615 (+59,554)

If I learned something about Dua's label is that they never drop any song in favor of another.

Dua, a LOT is riding on BRITs appearance nxt week, imma NEED some calming of nerves 2 occur b4 then coz...while the Grammys was a cute moment, we could SENSE the unease (cue Olivia Rodrigo confused smile) and the performance didn't feel like it was paced to perfection, y'alls was too eager to get to that dance break :clap3:

It’s not declining but it’s not growing at all. It’s just stagnant. It’s done what it’s going to do.

It was stagnant before around 2.4 M but kept climbing prior to the Grammy performance. It is still growing but slowly. It is not don’t yet!!

I will say too tho that the song is aging very well. I like it more now than I did 2 months ago.

Exactly. They’ve made very intentional choices when it comes to the soundscape of these songs. We love an artistic not the bling pop girlie.

Well, but if it was stagnant at #120 it was done. Being stagnant at #20 means its not done and its stable, rather stagnant, because it literally is inside the top20, the highest since debut week

I don’t really take what Olivia Rodrigo thinks seriously about performing (cue SelGo covering her ears during Vampire @ VMAs)

 

Dua definitely delivered in that performance and I’m sure the BRITs will be just as good. 

Tbh, Houdini seems like the type of song that’ll see a nice increase once the album is out. Seems like something that’s great as a single but even better in the context of the album.
