The song is so good like idk why it's even controversial... it's just a straight up bop. Kevin and Danny snapped on the production.

It’s quite mid honestly, and there’s a good amount of people/sentiment that say so too

Tate is queen and manipulates charts all the time.

Is it already time for single #2 ?

-I do believe she will release as many singles as possible until something sticks and then add it to inflate the album  Collabs outside of the album rollout, male rapper remix, you name it.

 

Should Dua have kept the signature black hair ?

-She is still faceless so I do not think the GP cares if she goes bald

 

Is Houdini too experimental for her audience ?

-  

 

or should her label invest in more promo ? 

- She is the most promoted pop girl ever. What else can they do?

 

 

It is not looking good for Dua. They are already in major losses since the investment in promo is not returning back even if Houdini smashes later on 

So if a songs smashes later on streaming platforms don't pay those streams? Ok, brand new information right thurrr...

 

OT: Houdini will smash and you guys will seethe.

I still don't understand the swifties fetish of accusing other acts for doing residencies on TTH as if that girl hasn't put +20 songs and never left the playlist this decade. 

TTH 

#4 Houdini

#22 Cruel Summer

The correct format in the title should be: “Houdini: What went wrong?”

[RT Air]

It’s just not a very good song, especially for a lead single  Even her past album tracks were much stronger

 

I mean it’s not bad at all, but there’s nothing about it that would make you want to replay it either

You can't just add the iconic Tame Impala sound to your song and call it a day. She should've worked more to develop it and make it more unique and personal. The song still slaps tho

We will be waiting for her Let It Happen 

[Bosque]

Bad song.

 

But cool that some people are still holding out for thread bumps good luck booking that thread bump you speak of

Absolutely delicious to see this news. I’m going to celebrate with some red wine.

[Bosque]

When can we expect those thread bumps that were promised to us by little Lipsters?  

 

[TROJAN]

My witchcraft worked 

[Antikythera]

I always love when new divas that are on top, with record this, record that, most this, most that, start failing.

 

Just to see the stans learning the pop world spins so fast and what was great yesterday is not today.

 

Anyway, I kinda like this song.

 

But I say: let her flop!

Is 2ua Lipa bombing so hard that all you can do is compare the "excluding US" streams of a month old song that peaked as an album track to her week old highly promoted new song?

If you're gonna compare, at least do it right and compare it to an actual promoted single like Anti-Hero.
