RandomHooker Posted May 4 Posted May 4 I don't really keep up with debuting numbers, but can someone post a comparison with albums released by MPGs in the last 5 years (excl. inflated TS ). 1

Partial day streams were 5.5 million but the Spotify counter hasn't even updated for the first full day yet so idk what OP is on about Edited May 4 by Kyle-x
PrettyHurts Posted May 4 Posted May 4 I feel like she didn't try hard enough with this era. She relied too much on what she's good at (sleek, sexy pop) and it just fell flat. It feels more like a future nostalgia deluxe ep than an actual new era 2 2
Taylena Posted May 4 Posted May 4 The so called global hitmaker debuting her album with less streams than the 5th track on TTPD. 2 6 15

If statistics are what make you excited why don't you pursue a career in mathematics or data scientist sis ? first and foremost, the album sucks so what now? 3 1 1
glitch Posted May 4 Posted May 4 I just don't understand why she straight up lied about the sound and genre of the album, as if we'd never hear it and realise for ourselves. Britpop? Psychedelic? Literally where Of course the whole era was super mismanaged by her incompetent father and it didn't have any proper hits to help it out. I'll be interested to see her UK numbers since all of the singles went top 10 here and Houdini and Training Season were pretty successful. I think there's been a lot of criticism of her sonic evolution (or lack thereof). No the singles don't sound like Future Nostalgia (apart from maybe Illusion) but to your average listener, they all just sound like Dua staying in her comfort zone. I think the album as a whole suffered from this too. It was nice but...that was about it. No massive standout moments, just lots of very laid back chilled music, which isn't really where she excels. 9

Disconnect Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Guys the album is just not as good as FN. It isn't bad it's just disappointing. If she wants to be successful again she has to make better music. She already did with FN so it's not like she' can't. She just tried a different direction and it didn't work well. If anything you should take this as a consolation knowing that she's actually capable of so much better… Her team and advisors probably suck tbh

All the singles from this album so far debuted with over 4M streams. Theres virtually no way that some of the album tracks debut with only 800k streams. Partial day streams only reflect the streams from of parts of Oceania. Dua's main audience is in Western Europe and the UK and our streams aren't reflected yet in the partial day numbers. She will be fine…. at least we hope Edited May 4 by KatyPrismSpirit
