I don't listened to this woman but the amount of hate she's getting from ATRL gays is worrying tbh, what exactly did she do for some of y'all?  Let the girl live 

 

 

OT: Points are made. 

This. I dont like Houdini but why is everyone turning on her. She's dua. She gives us Bangerz. She's one of the only pop girls from the 2020s we love
We need her to survive and keep giving us great records and our support is very important

Looks like the pop music world is only here for you if you have perpetual success.
If you flop they inmediately hate you and go against you. Very wishi washi. Very fair weather friends.
They switch sis. They switch

Instant hits show that you're a household name with hype. Dua is clearly still not a household name and needs to hope for longevity in order to have a hit.

A strategic single

Quote

"With that single it was strategic to sell the album. I'm not trying to get a number one with this one."

Selling the album in question

 

Quote

Placed at 35 in the chart, having only sold 7,000 copies since it was released on 3 December, the album can already be tentatively filed under "flop".

I think that's why she's not Katy 2.0 cause Katy had hype from her releases back then, she was a big name

I fear only Olivia and Billie are able to have that from the new generation

There is nothing disco about Houdini  

Oh yes, I forgot it's a ~psychedelic~ song. 

[4th Time Around]

ATRL showing itself to be fickle and chart obsessed as always, why am I not surprised🙄

 

99% sure that Dua is going to have the last laugh like always, either with this single blowing up after the holidays or when she drops something new.

I mean it's true however, unfortunately, I feel like the quality of her work in particular is not appreciated, we can all  agree Future Nostalgia was an AMAZING pop album, like it was so well crafted, it's catchy and modern, yet the songs have this timeless feels to them, yet it feels like people just moved on from Dua because I think Houdini is amazing and should have smashed right out of gate based on FN hype alone but it's kinda flopping?

YES! I don't understand why Houdini is not clicking with the GP :(. It's kind of sad if you think about it. 

[FinleyGates]

I swear Dua doesn’t even have that many hits to begin with, she still proving herself IMO

[tjspy]

Well, she is right.

 

Even tho Houdini is still a question mark. But literally ALL her hits were like that, so she is no wrong

[midnightanswer]

when will we able to accept that FN was probably her peak and its only gonna be mid from here … an occasional semi-hit here and there, but overall declining success n impact
