Based on the charts and sales performances of 'Houdini' & 'Training Season' thus far, do you think DL3 will flop + how much do you think the album will sell first week? Discuss and keep it cute!

Edited February 18, 20242 yr by Big Bad Wolf

it might not have as much longevity as FN but i doubt it'll bomb

she'll build a bigger fanbase with this one

It will be certified platinum in the us so no 

Won't bomb. 

This will be her Diamonds & Dancefloors. Flop sales, cult classic. 

It wont bomb, but I don't think it will match the longevity of Future Nostalgia and that is ok because it was always going to be impossible to surmount.

 

I am just trying to ignore the chatter and enjoy the music.

Yes. Mark my words. 

I feel it'd be like HTE kinda success, so DL3 will be fine 

No. We’ve been here before, y’all just never learn. Even if she doesn’t get a smash hit, the album will be acclaimed and it’ll be big still internationally. We all know this. 

ATRL deems Guts a flop so DL3 is a colossal flop so far since Houdini didn't go top 10. 

It's looking like it might have a similar success to Melodrama

i HOPE ha team is making those CRUCIAL final touches on DL3 as THEEE pop Bible of the next few years coz...these petty threads dragging my fav been tew much 

I'm worried for her US numbers, ngl. I think she'll be fine in Europe and her other stronger markets but without a Levitating or even DSN slow burn smash, longevity will be tough matching FN. 

Well if ATRL decides, it will indeed flop because every era must be FN-sized otherwise Dua is the next Katy Perry x10000

 

If reality decides, it will be a successful and acclaimed era that surpasses FN in quality and solidifies her fanbase and her status as a critics darling even further 

its her Rated R to GGGB, won't live up to the success of the previous album but still a success and a better artistic statement 

Unless she gets a hit single in the US it will likely spend four to six weeks max on billboard.

I'd be interested in seeing a Dua Lipa album sell over 7.5m with only 1 legit hit and 1 minor one in it.

I mean she must be saving at least one smash right for album release?

no, longevity is key and I have faith that this era's gonna turn around very soon and pick up steam

By the second single, it is pretty clear that this album will underperform. I'm not even trying to be funny but did the payola run out or something? Her label doesn't seem to be helping her at all anymore like they did during FN era

 

Either way, that music video of her sitting in that chair the whole time was not it, I don't see any GP-appeal in any of the two singles so far unfortunately

No.

Yes but technically no because they'll stick Cold Heart and Dance The Night on it and get to 3bn streams by 2025 anyways

You people are so reactionary.

She'll be alright.

 

OMEGA TANK BOMB!!!!
