She was, Roar and Darko Horde were both bigger chart wise than any TD single. The choice of the rest of the singles was a mess. 

Similar to FN. It had 2 big hits. Teenage Dream had 6 no 1s. FN can only dream. 

[Yes, AND]

Yeah, that stuff that can be done by her team without Dua having to lift a finger. As I said, you're more aware of the era than Dua herself 

 

Still, live versions, a mllion performances and videos after week 1 of release?

 

Sure, that acoustic video was shot without her knowing. Plus the Illusion video in Barcelona.

An acoustic video released in March and the Illusion video released in April. I still don't get how those were released after the first week of album release according to you, since the album was released in May

The album was available for preorder for months which is basically the same thing as being available and was heavily promoted.  The fan fiction to try and justify the flop is tragic.

Performances of "Houdini" and "Training Season" filmed in a London warehouse were released to YouTube on 12 January 2024 and 15 March, respectively.

I said 'Dua hasn't cared for the album after week 1 of release'. Lemme do the math for you because numbers doesn't seem to be a thing for you

 

Album release: May 3rd

+one week (a week has seven days in case you didn't know  )
