Speaking of a new single, wasn't she filming something in Barcelona a couple weeks ago at the same swimming pool Slow by Kylie was shot?

That looks high budget and will most probably take 2-3 months to be released, it's most probably Illusion. As for promo single, ig it's 'These Walls', she specifically mentioned the song during Rolling Stone's interview….

This era's kinda like the Body Language to Future Nostalgia's Fever. 

 

Jk I want it to do better

Literally can't wait for this. All these new releases aren't doing it for me and nothing comes close to the perfection that Godini and TS are 

 

Dula will get her flowers in the end

Oh this era kinda doa

Pls "Houdini" went Top 10 in every major market (well, #11 in the US but who cares) and heading to 1B+ streams in the long-run. This is not a Bionic situation.

I have the same feeling. Especially for the next single. There are many major releases

Dua gets overshadowed by even the smallest sprout from the ground… then her hits grow into massive trees in the long run 

 

I really wouldn't worry as long as the quality is there

Yeah, it's unfortunate that the songs aren't reaching the heights DSN/Levitating did, but the songs ARE very stable + Dua's image hasn't really taken a tumble and she's still well liked. The album delivering will just help this era continue being stable. There is clearly still interest in Dua, and she and her team need to do better to leverage that. Way too many mistakes made this era.

 

It still makes me crazy that we've gotten one performance of Houdini this era. ONE.

I mean, she's releasing last so how would she get lost? 
 

Dua era's have never depended on the first week, or the first month, and neither will this

 

We can only truly assess how the era did mid 2025. If we were going off of FN's first week it was an underperformance (#4 in the US and #2 in the UK) with a nice hit in DSN and that would've been it

 

Reminder that Levitating started becoming a hit 10 months after FN was out, and that's what gave the era its 2nd wind. Anything can happen with Dua

she's in her 3rd era where most artists usually tumble. her goal this era should be to make sure she remains afloat amidst releases. I do believe that she can pull it off.

Y'all she has freaking Glastonbury and a huge world tour lined up 😭 her image is still very much in tact, in fact, I'd argue this is the best and biggest her celebrity status has ever been

 

As someone who's been into stan culture for over a decade now (aka old), I can say that a mid or underperforming era has rarely been the end of anyone that's worked on their image. If your career is solely based on GP appeal and radio, then sure, a decline in those factors could be the end. But as much as this site would like to say otherwise, Dua very much has a distinct image and the 2nd biggest global celebrity status of her generation behind Billie (also arguably beaten by SZA and Olivia in the US, but far ahead of them ww)
 

She's build a foundation and released string of hits since 2015 for her to now be in safe waters, even if she doesn't produce a smash this era. There's always the re-release, or collabs, or next era. She's no longer on borrowed time and can just go ahead with completing her vision for RO and giving it the biggest tour of her career thus far

people on twitter seem to be invested in her relationship with callum which is good for her celebrity status. if people know about her personal life, her songs will feel more relatable (eg: lose you to love me being a standard break up song but everyone talked about it bc of bieber drama) 

Houdini going recurrent next week…

I really don't see a lack of cohesion in these visuals. The Houdini/TS imagery is very dry and clean just like the album cover. For me it's more that internet is making people having this feeling that everything needs to be obvious/in your face. Some people needs to learn what's nuance. 

Two weeks late, but speak on it sister

It's going to fall below #50 as a chart placement and if you can't stay above that threshold and you've been on the charts for 20+ weeks, you're automatically removed from charting unless you can pick up in Hot 100 points.

 

Not really a big deal, it's charted for 20 weeks so at least there's that. 

It's been 20 weeks since Hoedini already? Time goes so fast

Thank you for the explanation! Upon album release will it be able to re-chart?
