She gave us a full song about being in love with a person who doesn't know about your existence - A bit the same story as Love On. yet here - she gave a mature sound, Rnb, a much better production, less repetitive, lyrics are much more sophisticated, better annunciation, a memorable MV, a teaser for a new single, and an iconic C part. I just don't get what she is doing nowadays - SS - was tragic, to say the least, a Fruit Loops studio production, sounds like a scraped Disney project. Love On - is an improvement from SS, with no uniqueness, repetitive af, the chorus is so basic and cringe, Shake It Off's theme song is more interesting, MV is storyless and forgettable. Or maybe you can't read after all? Love on was fun for like 2 hours, but aged like milk. Same as Training Season IMO - I jammed it once it was out but it aged like milk, and I stand by that opinion. No need to be that mad because I find a song good at first listen but then repetitive and unbearable a few days after. 1 3

kayliah Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I got sick of this new sound already and I'm sick of training season already that melody on the verses give me a headache. 4 7

In fact her roll-outs are always a mess and you guys will be having nuclear meltdowns if Dua managed her career like her. No amount of promo in the US is going to change the reality and the reality is that Dua is making amazing grade A pop perfection that is just not what the US public naturally gravitates towards. Plus, Dua is working on elevating her profile ... she was on the same couch as Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchet yesterday, has a Porsche deal, a Tiffany's partnership, Versace collection ... she just can't be performing anywhere like Ava Max and Bebe (no shade at all) because it cheapens the image. A flop era will also cheapen her image

HANZ94 Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Welp this is another flop confirmed this era is about to be witness’ed or even worse 2 3 5

She already booked the biggest performance possible and slayed it Performing on The Kelly Clarkson Show and doing a couple of radio interviews isn’t going to change the US bad taste. 2
Cheers Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Debuted at #4 instead of #2 in the UK I feel like a lot of people stopped going strong for it/jumped off the bandwagon when they saw it wasn't a surefire #1. Sad! This song is honestly sooo good.

People will stream and check out both albums to make their comparisons.

One Grammys performance is not gonna cut it in a country where her success is very much not guaranteed. DSN had longevity and went #2 eventually because I’m aware some of these are not US based, but these days that doesn’t even matter anymore. Performances are about vitality and engaging the fanbase, if the fans aren’t even hyped about the era why would anyone else be? So yes maybe she should book in a Kelly Clarkson performance cause this ain’t it 9 1
bearman Posted February 24 Posted February 24 (edited) @Cain The SNL performance was literally a year later but yeah you're right she did perform Don't Start Now a lot ... but she also performed Houdini at the Grammys, we got a recorded live performance in London and she's performing at the Brits next week. More promo is coming for sure when the album is announced/out. Besides, you can't tell me that you listen to Don't Start Now and Houdini/Training Season and think that they have the same hit potential in the US. I don't know where you're based but I live between London & Paris and I'm Lebanese and Houdini is a certified smasha in every one of these countries. Of course I would love for her to smash in the US but she's doing amazing considering the kind of music she's releasing. Edited February 24 by bearman 1

CottageHore Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Inb4 this isn’t a commercial triumph but the critics eat it up and then y’all switch per usual and start eating it up, too just wait! 6

Who cares about a number 1, but lemme tell you there’s alot of people who don’t like that hag and will support Dua for going against her thus increasing her numbers. she is the anti Taylor Swift. Gorgeous, pro Palestine, a vocalist, makes music for all ages 4

My20sBlues Posted February 24 Posted February 24 In the UK the song seems to be doing well, it is #7 on Apple Music and #10 on iTunes, with the BRITS this will have a boost, the United States seems not being on her side this time

Relampago. Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I honestly don’t need her booking chicken s*** gigs cause it won’t really matter for promo. But she’s not above things like SNL at the bare minimum if Ariana is performing there too. It’s all just very weird. Felt like the era was really starting after the Grammys performance and now we’re just in the dark again.

SweetTalker Posted February 24 Posted February 24 It needs to be April 12. She’s not beating Bey’s 2nd week, and definitely not Taylor’s 4th. The difference with the FN era is that she came out swinging with DSN. i don’t think anybody was expecting to serve as hard as she did, musically and performance wise. The EMAs performance really helped kickstart the era in terms of hype. This era feels very tame in comparison. And the TS video is literally so ******* boring I cannot express how much I hate it and kills excitement for the visual component of this era. 3
Dula Peep Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Country and rap are smashing now in the US so this might not stand a chance without heavy playlisting and radio payola
