[Europe]

Not anymore. Little Lipsters WON!

[jonapova]

Yes it is. But it's not even bad, so I'm shocked at the floppage 

[perfect blue]

Undoubtedly

[shyboi]

not anymore 

 

[halcyonday]

of course not - the lead single Dance The Night was a huge hit

 

[bjorn]

It's not Bionic, Lotus, Liberation, Aguilar level of flop. But it is flopping me thinks 

[Onyxmage]

Unfortunately yes but I feel she may come back out of nowhere. She has a weird history of longevity. 

[makeawish]

in america yes, it's on the way out and quickly. in the uk, probably not so much and it's harder to chart albums here too

 

fwiw i still think it's a good album, i don't really like it less than FN overall

[GentleDance]

No it's a britpop moment of rave culture and primal scream 

[Gladiator]

It has the smash hit Dance The Night!!! It can't be a flop.

[Message In A Bottle]

Yes 

[Badgalbriel]

Not anymore, uh? It already has billions of streams. 

[Matthew4815]

Undoubtedly 

[burninredhot]

Just wait till she adds Cold Heart and it'd be a undeniable smash

 

[Illuminati]

Dance The Night was a smash lead single

[Strawberry Bubble]

it is

[collin]

Yes.

[Mrnoniee]

are there any good tracks?
I've only listened to singles and all are AMAZING

and have only listened to 1 track called Maria and its :meh:

any other standout track?
 

[ariananext]

I'm just going to say that Future Nostalgia would've performed worse than this without Future Nostalgia's roll-out and promo.

 

They were wrong to think she's established enough not to need all of that. 

Yes, it is a flop statistically if you compare it to her first two albums. No, it's not a flop all things considered.

[Riverbank]

Not after the Spotify playlist updates

I love love French Exit and Falling Forever. The others are cute.

[NEX]

Not everyone saying "no" but then voting "yes" 

 

[PoisonPill]

Not after she adds Dance the Night, Cold Heart, Sweetest Pie, Flowers and Cruel Summer.

[Vegvisir]

I expected it to flop a LITTLE but not be a Witness-level failure in the US.

 

I remember speculating about her next album with friends back when she was still touring FN, and they all thought I was nuts for suggesting that she had a lot of work cut out for herself moving forward - Dua is physically flawless, has a great voice, has great stage presence (now lol)... but she has ZERO relatability both on the outside and in her music as well.

 

Gorgeous European supermodel popstar on endless summer vacation abroad, talking art and literature over spritzes with friends? To the average american that's beyond relatable lmao
