Dua Lipa - 'Radical Optimism'


Recommended Posts

Posted

The numbers are stable hovering around 12 million, which is a good sign because they typically means the ones that are listening are staying with it. But what's going to happen when we all stop listening so much?? She needs some growth. Still early tho.

 

I might be the only one that doesn't think she should push These Walls. I don't know why this song seems like one of the most popular on this forum. The main reason its streams are so high is because it's playlisted. The people I've listened to this album with, that's one of their least favorites.

 

Whatcha Doing needs to be the next single. Maybe give it a radio remix. Or throw on a guest artist for some hype.

I kinda want her to do house music. 

I love her in the House genre, it also suits her well. One Kiss is one of her biggest hits, Electricity (the most House-y of them all) gave her the first Grammy, Illusion is good, but it wasn't a hit. I think she should leave the genre for a bit, try new things, then come back to it later in her career. It would feel like reminiscing "old Dua", sort of.

After the LOLs and the backlash hate I think this album will just end up "growing" on everyone and become a stable hit.

I just had a peep at the UK numbers and they're actually pretty good!?

 

37k on the Wednesday update, almost 30k coming from physicals. She will most likely pass 40k in the final chart today. For reference Future Nostalgia did 34k first week.

How are Blood Records vinyls calculated? Cause just those sold 10k

If These Walls becomes a single, what would you think the video should be like? 
 

Any ideas? 
 

Now that I work for Dua's team. I have some input in these things. 

A footage of her performing for her biggest fans in Amsterdam for free :chick1:

I think some romantic mini-movie in south of France or Italy, in style of "Cool" by Gwen

Imagine how high they could have been if the overall streams weren't that low!!

I definitely see a 'These Walls' video with her in different colorful sets. You know what could work very well? A Destiny's Child's Say My Name video inspired MV!!

 

You know different colored or themed rooms with different individuals facing couple arguments (nothing serious lile sketches with a bit of humor), then the sets and furniture could slowly and suddenly start moving mixing together and somehow those same partners find a new love with the people from the other set couples, all of that while she serves face and looks :alexz:

Depends when they ship I guess, but they'd be part of the standard physical sales

idk what it is but i feel like illusion completely derailed the hit potential for houdini and especially training season :rip:

:clap: 6 months of singles and multiple music videos BEFORE the album. Award show performances, SNL, magazine covers.  She really gave us a full era. Bigger stars are content to drop an album and disappear, while Dua is out here working like the MPGs of yore

This album really shows that Dua built a sizeable fanbase once and for all :clap3: Knowing that Dua learned a lot from her past "mistakes," I'm excited to see what she's going to do for the rest of this era

 

I mean, she's probably more focused on the tour but honestly, I would GAG if she ditched RO Deluxe and went straight to the DL4 (but with a better rollout) next year :jonny:
