poll Bigger: Houdini vs Roar

[halcyonday]

 

Dua Lipa and Katy Perry. These two pop singers get compared to each other a lot on ATRL.

 

Now that it's been 4 months since Dua Lipa released her lead single off of her 3rd studio album, Houdini, let's compare it to Katy's third lead single, Roar.

 

Which one was/is/will (be) bigger?

 

Discuss.

Houdini = 7 letters 

Roar = 4 letters 

so Houdini is bigger factually ! 

[Dante Silva]

“Roar” was never the uptempo lead single I needed it to be. For me “Houdini” wins hands down.

[Solaria]

This is the dumbest comparison I’ve seen in a while 

[illia]

Houdini is better that's for sure

[Anthropocene]

Houdini tanked and Roar was (somehow) one of the biggest songs in 2013. So Roar technically I guess.

3rd lead singles from two pop artists that get compared to each other all the time on here. How is it dumb?

 

Or maybe one of them would need additional 20 years of payola to catch up to another? Explain and share your predictions which one will end up being bigger!

 

Anything can happen after all.

Dua never reached the heights of Katys career tho. A better comparison for KAty would be Gaga

 

A better comparison for Dua would be maybe Ellie

They have nothing in common and they never will. Dua outacclaimed Katy to death and is much more respected than the American Idol chanteuse.

It's more that Dua is the new Katy (which can't be true with the current performance of her third era), but you're correct overall (as usual)!

Is the acclaim going to help Houdini overpower Roar by the American Idol chanteuse? Place your bets! 

[Erreur2 La Nature]

Dumb comparison. Houdini is much better.

I agree. Dua has never had an album sell as much as Halcyon
