I like the album, I listen to it from start to finish at least once a day, so chart positions doesn't change my opinion about it.

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

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

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 :deadbanana2:

maybe she is just too ahead of her time for certain ppl

    obviously an underperformance - to say the least. 

    An underperformance, especially when put next to FN

    Radical Optimism wishes it was on Witness level. 

    witness: 3 weeks top 20

    bionic: 2 weeks top 20

    radical: 1 week top 10
