Is “Houdini” a flop?: The Megathread!


Recommended Posts

Posted

she needed ian kirkapatrick’s SMASH HIT sensibilities. DSN never dipped anywhere near as low as this one. But who knows it really may smash in January (if a certain SYTYCD girl isnt dominating w her 2nd single which has more streams in the USA and is slowly rising w only a 500k difference globally)

Only her fans though people wouldn't be over the disco trend I was surprised about the Barbie song

It's over now guys it got "Focus'd"

I like Houdini. But it is simply not lead single material. It would be a nice album track. The hook is not exceptional at all and nothing else is exceptional. The production is pretty good but nothing groundbreaking. It is a decent song, but whoever chose this as the lead chose wrong. Most of it's success thus far is honestly just the hype from her prior music. And I am a huge Future Nostalgia stan. I saved it and will continue to listen but this is no Don't Start Now

Don’t Start Now is so boring compared to Houdini honestly, the GP can only digest easy bake bops now I fear, no art allowed :monkey:

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

So then she’s stuck with two albums in a row of disco ditties? From what I’m gathering, this album was meant to be a departure from that.

Pretty sure the little lipas dragged Camila for that when she did it with senorita so it’s not an option 

 

OT: catch me or I go, WHOdini!

31 in week 2 in the US and a quick peak of 11. 

 

For a supposed MPG. 

 

It is worse than a flop. A mega bomb.

This whole album is shaping up to be her Witness, without the top 5 hit.

She should be making music that sounds like "water". :jamming:

It dropped a staggering 29 spots on Spotify US, it's now outside the top 100. It also dropped several spots from UK and Global chart and it's barely hanging in the top 30 now.

The situation is even worse on Apple Music with the song being OUT from the US chart and OUT from the top 50 on global chart.

four five seconds was a smash, if houdini could have its success we’d be golden

Dua clearly doesn't view Houdini as being disco at all, she literally said she chose the song because it is such a large sonic departure from FN :skull:

:hippo: this wasnt for flamebait someone showed me the stats of the 3rd week and it made me giggle considering her massive playlisting and shes doing less than Light Switch (US)

 

Sometimes i wonder how much these flop songs would do if they had her playlisting

Yall came for me for nothing

 

Houdini is just not very catchy and has little replay value, you hear it once or twice and then you’re done

 

DSN was very infectious
