DTF - What went wrong? is the real question you should be asking OP

 

Omg shut up with this repetitive **** topic.

She's doing very good. Houdini isn't her biggest hit but it's still a big hit. I don't think she or her label expects a Don't Start Now / Levitating / Cold Heart level of success every time. It's not sustainable and most artists would be lucky to have one hit as big as any of those. 

Houdini is a hit, 320 million at Spotify & coming for 100 million views at YouTube

The lead is doing 3M streams daily after like 5 months 

Just because it’s not #1 in the US it doesn’t mean it’s not a WW hit 

A lot really.

 

I mean all those millions in the bank, the sponsorship deals with the likes of Evian, Yves St Laurent, Puma, and Porsche, the ability to retire at 28 and live in the lap of luxury for the rest of your days, whilst being Goddess tier beautiful.

 

Poor thing could just choose to flick through the luxury holiday brochures, with her hot successful actor boyfriend, or dedicate herself to whatever causes she’s engaged with free from the attentions of internet keyboard warriors desperate to foreshadow a non existent downfall.

 

Where did it all go wrong eh?

 

edit: after she’s headlined Glastonbury 2024. (Apparently it’s a small gig in a wet field in the west of England, real failure this one)

She associated herself too much with the disco genre. All her music sounds the same.

Nothing went wrong. She’s about to release AOTY and the person who made this thread will continue being miserable. 

DTF - what went wrong?

Edited March 14, 20242 yr by Gladiator

She just doesn't get it. She's pretty and she gets all the writing camp'd hits but the moment she let go of her management and tried to go for something more "artistic" it all fell apart. Did you see that album cover and title? Literally jumping the shark. She just doesn't have the right instincts to be a popstar.

Why is this troll thread still open ?

Because it’s giving us all a really good much needed laugh, given the exquisite timing of the opening this thread, and hours later she’s announced as a Glastonbury headliner?

 

You couldn’t make it up

Waiting for the bump when RO will smash

Someone put her in a studio with Max Martin  the magic waiting to happen there. Have they collaborated before? 

Dua hasn't even released her album yet her songs are stable - that's a good sign and shows GP is still here. Wait for the album to come at least.

 

Let's not forget Beyonce underperformed with Deja Vu and Ring the Alarm then smashed with Irreplaceable and Beautiful Liar.

Didn’t atrl just make this mistake with Ariana? 
 

Dua simply hasn’t released a single this rollout that clicked with people. If her album is good with a proper banger, salty atrlers will be miserable again.

Ariana is way bigger as a celebrity and musician than Dua and has an actual fanbase

Houdini was literally still a big hit for the most part

it was funny at first but how many times are we going to discuss this

 

 

Y'all saw what happened with Ariana. Y'all know there's a Levitating somewhere on this album
