Depends. She is gonna make them a lot of coins with the tour and brand deals. I mean that Porsche collab alone must mean millions...

Unless she has a 360 deal the label has nothing to do with her tour and brand deal income

Month 5 of Illusion as the current single

She must have one because we know the labels get scraps from streams 

 

I mean Warner wouldn't have invested that much just to get like 100k from Levitating's 3B streams

Average pay-per-stream rate $0.004 so for 3 billion streams its around 12 millions gross only for "Levitating"

 

"Future Nostalgia" has around 13 billions streams so that's around 52 millions gross

Ok but we have no idea how much of that reaches the label. Let's also not forget the MASSIVE 6 month push Warner invested in Levitating.

Thats why I wrote "gross"

 

Also very article about streams and payment where "Levitating" is used as example is here:

It is technically 4 moths now (release date April 11th)

 

I believe they will do "reset" of an era and restart it in fall (hopefully in September with VMA performance) and announce re-issue of the album before Xmas and then world tour

What happened in 2023, it's almost as if they made 2 completely different albums?! 

 

They should have kept more songs from the November 2022 sessions. Clearly there were on to something back then.

I agree. Katy survived more than 2 albums

Ok? And Dua has a few things that Katy never had and never will have: industry & gp respect, morals. She has grammys and critical acclaim. She can always rebound. Katy has been the laughing stock of the industry & the gp for the past decade, and with the recent development, she further buried her let's say "career" into the mud 

it's already on clearance at Target for $8.39

Already? It should have been 2 months ago.

"she shares that it's a psychedelic-pop-infused tribute to UK rave culture. It's heavily inspired by acts like Primal Scream and Massive Attack"

I forgot about that disgusting picture with all the white on her tongue. That killed the era tbh.

Miss Lipa is not rebounding in the states. She is done. 

ACR got Em*nem's ass and now his Houdini is only 7 spots above Dua's in UK

 

Time the ultimate truth teller incoming

This album is a fine wine, I'm listening to it right now after a couple of weeks of no listens and I'm surprised at how it's held up. It's good, she just gave false expectations when she was describing it pre-release.

Pls even Illusion debuted top 30 there on Spotify and not #198

A huge amount of songs above are on ACR, Dua's isn't ever since the big boost on Glasto and somehow avoided it this week dddd
