base talk Is “Houdini” a flop?: The Megathread!

[DeadInside]

The song is a gift for the fans.

Rihanna first week releases were never gargantuan for her singles but became huge after and i dont recall anyone calling her a "Faceless Popstar" What's wrong with y all?

i told you all in the official thread of the single and i was downvoted
 

The official single/album threads are generally never welcoming of this kind of discussion. It's where all the fans congregate. If you point out objectively and without hate how certain songs are performing less well than expected, or don't have chart potential, you'll get downvoted. Then weeks later, if a song do ends up flopping, the remaining stans in the thread will just say something like "it didn't receive enough payola" or "it's too sophisticated for the GP"

They're different. Katy was a big celebrity back then, the GP loved her and checked for her new music. Dua Lipa on the other hand just relies on radio and playlisting, she's not a big pop star

Don’t forget also on Katy videos. They were so creative and events. Dua lipa in this video is just looking at the mirror.

#173 Houdini (-6)

 

[littlebodybigheart]

y’all know how dua’s songs work on the charts. lol

[starataneori]

she'll always have the last laugh though.

[Digitalism]

The funniest thing about this thread is that there are some people actually answering the question as if it this was actually free falling 

[Strawberry Bubble]

I really want Houdini to be a hit, or at least that she is able to maintain FN's level of success. 

[Talento]

The song is just more of the same 

 

But it'll probably end up spending like 30 months on TTH so the totals will make it look like it was a huge hit

[znake]

Stupid thread and stupid users 

[Bethenny Frankel]

y'all seriously NEVER learn with dua

[Joyride]

Haters definitely said that about Rihanna. They just lost because Rih is a queen.

I’m salivating at the free fall I’m drooling

[ariesgroove]

[Odd]

madonna out-did

 

 

[Selenasworld]

Don't see it as a top 10 but who knows knowing Dulas history this could pull a #1 on radio

[BlueTimberwolf]

It's just a bad song. Sounds like an Ava Max b-side

 

[taylor__fan]

-4 is freefalling now?

[Bentley]

My heart is so happy to see this 

 

[artc0cx]

Its a quick lil promo single, the true lead will be Training Season 

[Junipero]

This isn't a "REAL" single. This is just a teaser single. People like Drake, Ava Max and Adele need to HIDE when Dua releases her REAL single(which will undoubtedly smash and reach #1 on the Hot 100 within the first few seconds.)
