Burqa Posted February 18 Posted February 18 yes, chart success is important and they even admitted they were looking for it this era but some of the takes in here are so delusional thinking she will delay or scrap the album because houdini missed the top 10... she's not that kind of girl anymore and hasn't been since 2019 4

KOMH Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Hopefully it can debut in the top 3 by Friday. I think Beautiful Things is likely to end up eclipsing it throughout the week.

Lüwís Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I'm not someone who cares much about charts when the music appeals to me and I'm only a casual listener of Madame Lipa, so I'm fairly unbiased in my opinion of her. I've listened to this 'Training Season' multiple times now since it's release - 4 or 5 times today alone to see if I can get into it. Yet, each time I stop listening, I almsot immediately forget what it sounds like (early onset dementia, perhaps ) while still remembering how it's lacking something. I'd say it's a fairly weak song for her standards and a strange single choice. I thought 'Houdini' was an odd choice for a single when that first came out (although the instrumental/intro to 'Houdini' and part of its chorus are very catchy), but 'Houdini' is certainly the strongest of the two singles so far and I fail to see that really taking off after all this time. I don't see this second single being a big hit soon or even a sleeper hit months down the line. I listen to a lot of French-language artists and its production reminds me of female pop songs you might hear on French or Belgian radio, so I could imagine 'Training Season' resonating with some European audiences but not so much with people elsewhere (namely the predominantly English-speaking countries). I could be completely wrong, of course. Again, I'm only a casual listener of hers and if I like a record I truly could not care any less than I already do about where it falls on any of the charts worldwide - but for those who say it's already great and those who are predicting a future smash hit (and it looks like most people in here are saying it's a good song), I'd be interested to know: - Which country you're from. - Why you think it's got potential to be as successful as some of her previous work. - Why you think it's a good song. Finally, for the chart obsédé(e)s: - Where you think it will chart in your country. Peace and love to Madame Lipa in the meantime.

KatyPrismSpirit Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Im so baffled at the fact that she hasn't announced the album yet. 4
Shaner69 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I have come to the conclusion this is the best 5 minute workout song ever. 4
Junho_lover Posted February 18 Posted February 18 So sad I cannot get into this one. I hope it smashes for her but not my taste. 2 1

My20sBlues Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I only want her to announce the album, come on girl, don't be shy and give us the AOTY you're saving so much
xicnx Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Apple Music US: #170[+29] Training Season I fear we have got ourselves a stable US hit this time, around the same time for Houdini, it was OUT of top 200 overall chart Houdini received #2 on Apple's Today's Hit playlist, while TS is currently at #12, which means it has more potential for growth in the future. 11
gotportugal Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Dua has NEVER been a first-week girlie, Houdini debuting at #11 H100 just shows how her profile grew, she plays a long longevity game 2
Duanielipa Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Don't @ me if it flops but I feel this is a smash im obsessed. I can't stop listening whereas for houdini I wasn't really feeling it. It's just so catchy 1 1
Relampago. Posted February 18 Posted February 18 11 hours ago, Bloodflowers. said: What the GP wants? Songs with lyrics like New Rules, Levitating, Dance the Night (aka breakup, love and dancing) What Dua gives instead? Songs with lyrics like Potion, Good in Bed, Sweetest Pie (aka songs about sex) My aunt stans Dua Lipa but she is a typical casual soccer mom'd fan, she doesn't care about Houdini nor Training Season despite nice productions. She also said the title track names are weird and unappealing which I agree Hope there is family-friendly song on the album so that Dua can get her casual fans back on board **** soccer mom music they can make Pink smash if they want that Dua is for the gays and I would like to KEEP it that way

It's a forum, we're here to discuss. I like Dua and I love the song. Just because I'm not going "yaaass she ate mother" every time she breathes doesn't mean I'm suddenly a hater You basically called her a label puppet and payola machine with no artistic talent or vision so you can **** right off with the “but I’m just discussing!!!” victim role playing 3

IBeMe Posted February 19 Posted February 19 4 hours ago, State of Grace. said: She was hungry for success and world domination with Future Nostalgia. She had an insane amount of drive/motivation to win over people and prove that she was here to stay to the point where not even a global pandemic stopped her album campaign. Now I think she feels like she's above hustling as hard and performing on every single stage/talk show on earth, which is fine, but it's also a bit boring for fans. The Brits are the next thing to look forward to I guess then its crickets? Give us another London Sessions for Training Season too at least. I dont think she thinks she is above it all but I DO think that my theory from yeards ago stands ( ) ...I LEGIT think that billboard blocking her from #1 with Levitating did something to her and her team AND the fan base where we feel defeated in some weird ways despite the immense success she got after it and stuff. It's just it was beyond clear she REALLY wanted that #1...I mean her team even had a video thanking the fans for the #1 that leaked on tiktok early and tons of other stuff. I think it made her feel like #1s dont matter (which is TRUE) but it also maybe was the thing driving her a lot where she was really aiming for that and then now she has no interest in it because it feels like an impossible task for her? idk how to explain it. Just a theory obviously. 1
collin Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Agree that the single titles have both been weird and unappealing. And the songs are just not surefire hits. She might struggle a bit to get a true smash this time around.

Until then every accomplishment is an achievement whether big or small Edited February 19 by SayIt 2
