J-esper Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Houdini didn't caught on in the US but in other markets both Houdini and Training Season were far from flops 2
KatyPrismSpirit Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Katy had several venti caramel deluxe frappuchino's back in the day lets not
mike_int Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Well it took Sabrina 6 albums and 10 years to have first international hits. Dua has it already on her first album with "New Rules" and "Levitating" can be considered her "Espresso" if you will Katy has her first international hit on her first album (as Katy Perry) as well with "I Kissed A Girl" / "Hot n Cold" and "California Girls" can be considered her "Espresso" Lets see if people will still remember "Espresso" next year or decade later
Sabrina Carpenter Posted October 7 Posted October 7 why are Dua stans being brave in here when Espresso is bigger than anything that one era wonder has released 3 6
halcyonday Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Now why would you set up Sabrina like this? Espresso is the smasha of the year, but both Katy and Dua already had their smashes. Levitating kinda still the best song of this decade. 1
Dolce Vita Posted October 7 Posted October 7 i feel like the "faceless" pop smashes that happen bi-yearly tend to be from newer artists?? usually it's rare for an established artist to strike twice with that specific soundscape. sabrina was coming fresh off the eras tour with a bigger fanbase and multiple viral moments and delivered something fun and extremely palatable, it was the perfect storm. 2 1
l3disko Posted October 7 Posted October 7 They weren't chosen to. Music execs wanted a "build-a-MPG" moment with Sabrina.

Hopefully Sabrina won't be that, time will tell! Edited October 7 by ReachOut 2
Moonlight Nation Posted October 7 Posted October 7 1 hour ago, EndofASadMovie said: Exactly, sometimes it's not the song itself, the artist who's singing it matters too. Had Selena released Espresso and short and sweet (Julia Michaels worked on it) it would've tanked too. Case in point:

She had more hits during her debut era, we'll talk the day Sabrina has 2 albums over 10B streams and 5 songs over 2B streams. Calling Dua a one hit wonder is a little too ironic…
aotwbys Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Because if Katy was like "I'm working late cuz I'm a singer" she would get roasted on the internet so bad 1

Letemtalk Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Maybe they didn't have the samples from Oliver: Power Tools Sample Pack III for the instrumental, and Amy Allen for the lyrics. This guy recreated the song from samples from that splice sample pack: https://www.musicradar.com/news/sabrina-carpenter-espresso-splice-loops 1

All have 2 billion streams on Spotify. Levitating actually has 3bn+ when you count the solo version. Please take several seats. Edited October 7 by Assassin
HealerKirby Posted October 7 Posted October 7 They dont work late anymore so no need for espresso Dua is drinking spicy diet coke on vacation while Katy is enjoying Orlando's apple cider vinegar
