I was just thinking that this is definitely the most GP friendly song from the era so far and this is the confirmation I needed, not to mention @TalkThatRihanna likes it too

 

 

I still don't think it will be that big but it should perform like Godini at least 

Not the song me and @Post Malone latching onto having the worst initial performance from the 3

 

 

Although I do think it'll win the longevity game

You're right it doesn't make sense since you both stanned I luv it 

 

I actually disliked ILI since the first snippet but I was rooting for her to win with it and I LOST

I can't get enough of Illusion  imagine not liking this era because of charts 

 

We truly won

Does anyone else think she may have been a little influenced by Miley Cyrus? She mentions rose colored glasses and "rose colored lens" is a song on Miley's last album and she also recreates the album cover in this music video lol 

"Rose colored glasses" is a lyric from Katy's infamous Chained To The Rythm so it could come from anywhere 

Wbk Dua was influenced by this bop

Also the scene was inspired by movie Million Dollar Mermaid from 1952

There's just something missing with the production of the songs this era compared to the last. I can see why she's still doing well in Europe because this is their typical sound but the U.S will not be touching anything from her this era if the whole album is like what we've heard so far.

tbh they better have booked some slots already, don't most shows go on a summer break? snl only runs till may 18th so there's only 5 more slots this season (and then it's on break until october), 3 of those slots are after the album release, so the 4th, 11th or 18th would be great as they'd be right after the album drops.

yeah i noticed that too yesterday …it would truly be pitiful and negligent if they didn't have a slot booked already

The US is very fickle with their pop girls anyway. Popular trends change there every 2 years, Europe is much more loyal

There's no bounce to these songs. America is into bounce right now. Not European four on the floor.

……Sabrina might replace her slot in the MPG conversation if we're gonna look at Espresso vs Illusion chart performance

Yes, an MPG position is totally dependent on one's latest single performance 

 

I'm sure Sabrina will snatch 3 Grammys, two huge ww albums, 5 songs with 2B+ streams and headline the biggest festival on earth this year too and then it's a done deal

It's time we accept she's not gonna get a hit this era and that's okay. I'm way more excited for the album. I'd rather want her to follow album artist path. With that being said, very much perched for Happy For You and Falling Forever!

Obv there was an exaggeration on my post. Sab could only dream of achieving what Dua has achieved. 

 

But with the way Dua's career rn with her middling chart performance (esp in comparison to FN)….I'm praying and hoping that she serves longevity and acclaim ala Rated R so she can come back hard the following era. She's at the point of her career where the going suddenly gets tough.

Good for Sabrina but can we at least enjoy what Dua offers without being chart obsessed  It ruins everything.

GODvin Parker + the word Illusion are success poison

 

 

At least the quality is there and it will be serving +2M streams months from now

 

I wish the numbers were better but it is what it is. Houdini - TS - Illusion is a way stronger run than DSN - FN - Physical sorry not sorry!

here we go again with the same fake narrative about MPG, Jesus
