 These numbers are shocking. Considering she's one of the biggest pop stars today, I expected her to do at least 30 million. Plus, her fans were extremely vocal about Dua being the new Ariana

 

[West Coast]

Smash

[ontherocks]

So let's say all of the tracks did 750k on average, it will debut just below 19 million.

 

Edit: most likely, the average for the last four tracks will be 900k-1m

Who said this? Most people viewed Dua as a Katy/Rihanna hybrid leaning more on the Katy side

[KatyPrismSpirit]

Disappointing numbers tbh. Way worse than Future Nostalgia. 

[Catch22]

[Cloudy]

Radical emergency

 

[Britney Spears]

Playlist emergency

[Squall]

So 20-21M overall

Well they were going on about how she's the only girl to truly breakout since Ariana.

These numbers are excellent 

You all never see the bigger picture 

 

Charts are extremely competitive right now , there are so many random viral songs from artists no one knows

 

Dua did great

[sunbathinganimal]

welcome back

The lashings will be tremendous, even I can't believe that she bombed this hard right after Future Nostalgia.

 

She was supposed to be the next Katy, but this is serving Smile instead of PRISM. 

 

There was no controversy, no backlash, no meltdowns, no Witness/ARTPOP type of drama. I blame Houdini for this fiasco. 

 

People just didn't care. I'm shocked. 

[brazil]

Not good. But tbh her label got desperate trying to release several singles before the album release to see if one of them smashed. They shouldve at least waited for the album release to put out Illusion

[ariananext]

Horrible debut but hopefully her team learns from this and does something right away. 

[tost1]

It's a summer album so let's wait for the south hemisphere summer in December because they know what's up!

[Raspberries]

Dua skipping her PRISM and going straight to her Witness without the haircut

[Ratviolo]

Falling Forever will save the era. Rise Lotus, this is just the beginning!

It's true that charts are competitive but that would impact positions not streams 

[bad guy]

Hey @unclefloprry 

 

[Nein]

Are these partial numbers (because she did local midnight releases) or full numbers?

If it's full numbers, that's...

[brazil]

Maybe you need some level of pessism to make a good album
