Hopefully Dua has a chance now! 

She won’t, so let’s not set ourselves up for disappointment. She’s going against Taylor’s 3rd week. Midnights did 299k in its 3rd week, and 204k in its 4th week.

Album cover don't match the vibe of Houdini and Training season at all

[Escape]

Wasn't Houdini supposed to be the first song?

Why is everyone suddenly asking for cohesion between singles and album covers? I can provide 189390 examples of album arts that have nothing to do with singles choice

[LanaXtinaFan]

The cover going viral on Twitter all over the place! Yassss

Because after years of artists treating albums as a collection of quick lil singles, fans want a whole cohesive experience with an album/era. My point of view at least.

Perhaps when we listen to the whole thing we may figure out why she has chosen this art line

The vinyl has 2 sides the album is probably around 40 minutes. 

all vinyls have 2 sides, it can still be shorter than that because the maximum length is 40 minutes for one vinyl. albums longer than that are 2LP, split up on four sides.

All of these were WAY better covers.

hoping for alternative one

I want to buy the fan bundle. Do you guys know from which country the European store ships? I live in Spain and I’m afraid they send it from UK, which means I will have to pay customs once the order arrives home and I don’t want to because it’s already too expensive

EU store is shipped from Germany, that's the only reason I ordered the webstore deluxe vinyl (when you chose shipping method it says "Deutsche post")

 

More artists (Kylie for example) should do that, the shipping from UK is already ridiculous sometimes, plus tax and duty it is crazy

none of those feature sharks so this statement is unequivocally false....

[Solaria]

Never trust ATRL or Twitter to make good decisions on what a cover art should have or shouldn't have been, my god

THIS 

 

I can't believe she was the last to announce the date and she chose Taylor's 3rd week 🤦🤦🤦

 

I guess this era is quality over numbers

allegedly  "Illusion" was meant to be first single and apparently she is in Barcelona shooting something this week

 

 

Can't wait for the Illusion vs Perfect Illusion thread here then....

I genuinely don’t think she would have debuted at number 1 even without Taylor. But we’ll see. 

 

I am still loving the concept of the album and the cover! It’s starting to make sense as to why they waited so long since the songs and cover definitely give more of a summery vibe. It would be weird to get pool pics for an album in winter. 

 

Still not understanding everyone’s confusion over the “aesthetics not matching”. I feel like Future Nostalgia really stuck with people and now they want that all over again, despite people saying “oh she’s just doing FN again!!! Boooooo!!” when Houdini and TS came out. You really can’t win with these gays so I’m glad Dua’s doing her own thing.

The photoshoot is gorgeous but they chose the perfect pic for the album artwork. None of the others would look good as a cover.

[lapisnour]

the way she can write the album cover photoshoot off as a business expense and get to have a full-on free vacation tax free, ugh her mind!!!

the others look like something from her vacation

Oh how I wish Dua debuts at #1. I'm sick of seeing Blondie everywhere. 

 

What are the chances Tate opens for Dua this tour? 

[PotatoPancake420]

We really need to leave the whole “Dua is gonna flop” thing behind lol. 
 

She’ll definitely gonna do atleast alright in the U.S. but ultimately, it isn’t her market… the rest of the globe is 💀 the 2 singles are doing better literally everywhere else. And even so, they’ve both been consistently Top 30
 

Are we gonna say BLACKPINK or Bad Bunny aren’t successful because they’re not selling 200k units in the U.S specifically???

Endless Summer Vacation is already her brand on social media so now she's finally got an album cover that represents that.  

[West Coast]

can we get at least one more single before the album drops by the end of march/early april since training season is doing okayish
