Do we know if we'll get physicals for Illusion? 

[sneakyishere]

The reactions towards the alt cover just show how very narrow some of you view beauty and aesthetics lmao.

 

i think it's a really dynamic pic and captures the whole "optimism, energy, fun" thing really well.

I really hope Illusion is a big hit for her. She deserves after giving us two great songs back to back

Next Friday Ilusion will help both rise  wondering if both could go back to +3 million

We really took the FN era for granted tbh... watching some of these old clips back.. she was performing at every khia award show and talk show possible. TaP was wearing her OUT hunny 

[Ivan_brit]

Houdini will survive this week / not going recurrent, TS rising despite Beyonce album bomb

 

 

 

[Teacher]

Are the track lengths known yet?

[J-esper]

The only thing this era misses is b8g US succes. Her main markets still embrace her. They just need to push something there and put some focus on it and everything will just be fine. 

 

I am getting a bit tired of all the complaining I see everwhere tbh

Charts position doesn't mean anything, especially in US and Im sure Warner knows that and it is not their priority to push it, with their financial capital if they really wanted they could push Dua to be everywhere in US, but they know what they are doing and I think lot of people should realize that.

 

Look at "Yes And?" it was no.1 and now its no.61 , "Houdini" have been out for 2 months more than "Yes and?" and still at no.40

 

Good music is not measured in artificially boosted chart positions but longetivity

Completely agree,  I am just tired of people saying it is a flop era or arts not the charts  era while it is just the US market not matching the overall charts, not that it should matter

The Illusion snippet sounds really promising  I just wish she would only release it when the album comes out so Training Season could have more time to breathe

 

Also I'm so annoyed that the US isn't giving this era the love it deserved, first Houdini peaking at #11 now Training Season debuting at #27 and being in the 70s

Ordered the alt cover and the deluxe vinyl. Loving every song so far!

Alternative cover and the curacao one for me

 

I ordered the "deluxe" at first but I couldn't get over the fact how the split vinyl doesn't match the album color palette and also I ordered the curacao from regular retailer which sells it for 21 Eur only, so all together with shipping the alternative and curacao will cost me almost the same as if I ordered only the deluxe from website

 

I love how alternative and regular have completely different aesthetic, its like having two separate albums

Was hoping the last chorus would be a bit more explosion; at least with some vocal layering but this is obviously the end of the song… meh.

Rising little by little on both Spotify & Youtube, wondering if the album realease will cause a rise to TS, at the end this song will get decent numbers

 3/3 this era. She needs success in the US to snatch that BPVA

This sounds amazing. Wow. This is probably the actual smash of the era.

[LanaXtinaFan]

I wish they wouldn't have sent training season to radio, knowing that Illusion was dropped so soon after. They should have let Houdini run its course a bit longer and pushed illusion next. No?!
