headztrong Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 You can't headline Glastonbury and Coachella the same year, pretty sure it's in the Glasto contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NostalgiawithDua Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Training Season would've been a killer lead single with Grammys performance Intro and Brits performance structure and a bit more layering. Not to forget a great mv. They fumbled so hard… 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to forget a great mv. They fumbled so hard… Doubt it. The sound was the problem ALL ALONG. THE promo was on point she had the best platforms worthy of a MPG like taylor yet still flopped. 11-27-43 peaks for yr 3 lead singles as well as 2-4-9 aint exactly making yr investment back isnt it? She had the radio payola, amazing playslistings,best television platforms. The frontloaded preorders helped first week so atleast she got some great headlines. Well see the catastrophic results on the year end charts. Houdini was a medium sized hit though. She should have forced it down gp's throat like baby food.

The way I wasn't even talking about the promotion. All the songs had great production, many of them just needed a little more punch. Same with Houdini, it was repetitive until the bridge. Vocal layering and live instruments would've added way more to song, plus your pov is very US centric. Houdini and Illusion would've never been smash hits in US because they simply don't consume that kind of music, as for TS it was a missed opportunity….

Crank_It_Up Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) 5 hours ago, Vermouth said: Was never happening. Coachella would've meant reworking all the choreo etc again to freshen it for Glastonbury ( or just repeating it, which would've created all kinds of accusations of "just rehashing" for Glastonbury). So it was either Coachella or Glastonbury. It's totally clear, she regards Glastonbury as a career pinnacle, and in my view, it was always going to win out. Not even a contest to be honest. If I were Dua, I'd also choose Glastonbury tbh. That's a way bigger deal than Coachella is. I do wonder if, after the current underperformance, that Dua will still do Coachella next year (like rumored) or wait to do it for DL4 instead. 5 hours ago, headztrong said: You can't headline Glastonbury and Coachella the same year, pretty sure it's in the Glasto contract.

kayliah Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) I believe Nostramus since there's no way a label in their right mind will look at the numbers and be like yeah lets greenlight two more singles and pay for playlisting and radio. Maybe they'll let her tour if the tickets get sold out and take a huge percentage of the profits to recoup some money on recording the album and all the payola and playlisting. I just hope they will invest in DL4 as much as they did for DL3. They could also push another artist too and reduce the budget considerably next era. Its all her fault and daddy's. A great a&r should have taken the reigns and tap management would have made her promote everywhere with houdini but daddy's girl gets to go on holidays... 😄 Edited May 16 by kayliah 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they got something in store to keep the era afloat.

Sad that this negative impact was bigger than a positive impact of an album release tho. — the album is kind of a growerrrr! I dont listen to it all the time but i enjoy listening while im working and driving. Its chill but u can also bop to it. Good!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
