Is “Houdini” a flop?: The Megathread!

Called it day 1. The song is boring. I just don't understand how she can go from DSN, Levitating, New Rules, and Physical to Houdini and why no one stopped her from releasing this.

 

MTE. The song is catchy and is definitely a single material, but sounds more like a 4th single than the lead one. Something like Love Again from her previous album.

You made over 20 posts in the last two weeks about how you feel about Houdini, I think that thread ban was for your own health!

So? If no other rules are broken why does it matter? If a song gets called a flop and delusional stans are upset about it, that's their issue.

I wanted to make a tread. Here's the idea:

 

So, you're a Obsessed Dulla Hater. Would you drag her for Houdini's chart performance now or would you wait until January to see if it rebounds? 

 

But we can talk about this here. 

 

I would wait until January.

Please they said they’re gonna tag every user who said it’s a flop on January :toofunny3: It’s giving Artpop and ‘it’s gonna rebound after new single’

It will succeed eventually but it is worrying that 3 albums in Dua has not build a solid enough fanbase that can instantly make her songs hits . She is clearly more of GP artist but the problem with that is once the GP loses interest in you ,you become another Katy Perry :rip:

Was an album promised/hinted at alongside this single? If not, basically confirms Warner and her team don’t have confidence in this being the lead single of a new Dua Lipa album.


I vaguely remember DSN and the whole FN concept and album theme was solidified within the release period of DSN. Definitely within the first few weeks.

 

Not in here to be a hater, btw. She does impressive numbers objectively speaking. Her music has never been my cup of tea but that doesn’t cloud my judgement of her.

She said “I come and I go” and meant it

The way DTN obliterates this track. 

 

I swear if Train Season ends up a Cruel Summer situation :deadbanana:

Back inside the Top20 globally without the christmas songs while DTN is also still within the Top40 if we exclude the christmas songs. How will Dua recover?

The title of Future Nostalgia wasn't announced for over a month after DSN came out, and the release date wasn't revealed until three months later.

I'm actually in favor of this thread.

The ODH make a new thread each week and comment the exact same thing on all of them 

Having all their comments on the same thread makes them look obsessed

We'll call it a gift for the fans ofcourse!

I like Dua but her fans have ser her fave up by saying that this song will be a hit by January. There’s no guarantee for that. Now your 2024 will start with the ATRL lashings. All in one mega thread :rip:

By now we can all agree that Dua's comeback single is severely underperforming, if not straight up flopping. Seems like the public is not here for it. 

 

The question is: can that be reversed? Can Houdini rise up with more promo, performances, etc? Or is it time to move on and start planning the next single?

Make “Dance the Night” the lead single and “Houdini” the second. Release the album and call it a day.
