Dua Lipa - 'Radical Optimism'


Recommended Posts

Posted

If she's lucky, both Houdini and TS are doing more than 4M+ on release day with Illusion possibly doing 4.5M. Rest of the tracks will average between 2-3.5M. Around 35M is the best possible prediction for her especially after having no smash hit this era…:alexz2:

Maybe I'm just a pessimist but I don't see all album tracks doing above 2 million, Illusion has kinda killed the momentum.
 

The singles ~ 12 million

Playlist focus album track ~ 3 million

7 other songs with ~1.7 million average

Total ~27 million

 

Let's hope the TikTok cheque clears and someone outside the same pool of 100 gays with no rhythm makes a new track viral (outside of the weird every song sounds the same narrative)

 

:clack:

The way social media has high key ruined this era for me :skull: The constant negativity and weird dragging/take down of her career for doing nothing has literally been so strange to witness.

That's why I started blocking out the noise. I don't get the hate really, but it's fine, I'm loving the music and it's been such a great experience to have my own opinions on the music while ignoring the hate. Definitely something I'm going to apply to future eras from my faves. Like yeah, I wish everyone was as excited as they were with FN, but I'm fine enjoying the music with those who enjoy it and leaving out the hate that I don't agree with. 

 

I just think it's so weird that people are so consistently negative about the era though. There have been recent eras where I wasn't living for the music and I drop one comment on why and then I leave, I don't linger. But a lot of people have been relentless with the hate for this era, I can't imagine being that miserable but hey, it is what it is.

I heard training season in the gym today. It sounded amazing. I am glad I got to experience hearing it in real life :celestial4:

I predict a 25 million streams 1st day… Im ready for ATRL to call this a flop but at the end Dua always wins

2.5 weeks before album release:

Future Nostalgia: 6.4-6.8M (3 songs, DSN 4.2M)
Radical Optimism: 6.6M (3 songs)

I predict honestly that she's gonna debut slightly above FN. I can't see it being higher than 28M tbh.. 2M for all the album tracks + 3M for the singles. If the singles get a bigger boost MAYBE she could do 30M.

 

 

but DSN was a huge hit :chick3: 
I can see the tracks doing better than FN tracks but not the singles

She better talk new things of this era

The split vinyl looks so cool, I'm glad I sprung for it.

waiT, not the split vinyl looking kinda cool irl :eek:

 

Curaçao Blue still takes the cake as the prettiest one for me though, solely for the fact that it fits the cover the most

sold out already 

I think she will surprise us with a hefty debut on sales and streams (at least compared to FN).

If they had a budget for this supposed 'payola' y'all keep talking about, don't you think if they'd simply paid it to Doja in exchange for a verse/ video appearance that Dua would already have a "Radical Oprimism" era, Billboard Hot 100, Number one by now (and if not why)?
