this song hasn't fully clicked with the gp yet because they are feeble minded... only resilient and powerful minds like my own can overcome the association between dua and the pandemic and acknowledge this song as one of the best of her discography !

Training Season is probably the most US friendly and unique sounding of all three, it's sad it was completely mistreated with a bad video and radio. Houdini is better but I feel TS as lead single with unique visuals would've perfectly encapsulated the 90s Minimalism of the era and Industrialism vibe of the song….

Yeah Smashing Season is my fav jam ngl, i was so obsessed when it came out and i prefer live version so much more but that music video totally has no replay value unlike Illusion which has the strongest video from this era.

Global Spotify: 3/17/24

Artist: Dua Lipa 

32. (-3) Illusion:  2,466,361

45. (-1) Training Season: 2,131,833

46. (+5) Houdini: 2,111,820

Holding strong 

Well if you combine the streams of the 3 it makes 1 hit single 🤣

#9 debut in the UK. Another Top 10 single from RO. That's mother! 

So glad this went top 10! This marks Dua's 16th top 10 (as a lead or feature) in the UK charts in only 9 years of career. She's the supreme. 
 

 

 

I absolutely don't care if it clicked with general public or not, general public will consume anything which is "thrown into their throats" - that's why even the biggest sh*t with enough marketing will be the best seller in literally anything.

 

And just look around the world where decisions of general public are taking us ...

 

and DAMN how I love all 3 singles so far and DAMN how excited I am to have full album in 2 weeks !

 

Illusio - io - io - iooooon 

 

Without physicals, TS is OVER 

Time for a bilingual remix. Maybe with Angelina Mango in Italian!

Well at least we can call it a UK top10 single

Also went top 10 in Australia

Top 10 in multiple countries. A hit!

Kinda wish the studio version sounded like this with more rawness and dramatics….

 

Now that she's a local UK artist again, can she do a performance on Graham Norton?

"Training Season" is really fire !

 

I hope she will perform it instead of Houdini on SNL and show how amazing it sounds in this type of set-up (cause I dont think she will be doing choreo on SNL)

Elodie is the way to go, in case. She would rock the lower register in the verses.

THIS. I love TS, but the live rendition is just superb. She shall have kept the instrumental from the Grammy's + this extended chorus.

Graham Norton doesn't come back for another 6 months hun

Does anyone knows of a London Session was filmed for Illusion?? Or an Acustic version? They better release it during album release week

We need a UK performance I can't believe that Houdini has never been performed at the UK

 

What she could do Graham Norton on a Break…. Is the Jonathan Ross currently on air??

 

But Dua is on New York already!!!

Maybe it went higher because it somehow managed to stabilize midweek?

Smash hit

Celebrating a #43 debut is... 

This song died faster than Houdini and TS…
