BEST BRITISH ALBUM BRIT NOMINATION OMG

This is amazing! :w00t:

Bad Together is creeping up on me recently. What a song!!!

I think a good plan for her at this point would be to re-release Last Dance with a big push worldwide, then push a re-release of the album (maybe a double disc?) with Bang Bang and 3-5 other new songs. I imagine she probably has a handful of other songs from this album's recording sessions that would work.

Re-releasing Last Dance could work but it’s already been a hit in some places and I feel like it’s success would be very limited anywhere other than the UK. I also feel like she’d be better off ending this campaign after IDGAF and moving on swiftly. I love the album but she started the self titled album campaign in 2015, if she did a full re-release it would likely come October time with a new single and extend the album campaign to pretty much 4 years in length (2015-2019).

 

I’d rather her be quiet as a solo artist for a few months after IDGAF has faded out and come back late July/August with something huge like New Rules. Between now & then a couple of features would help keep her name big and allow for a successful beginning to DL2.

^ Yeah I agree, preferably IDGAF will be the last single from DL - ending the campaign on a high. After the BRITs she should go back into the studio and get to work in creating a worthy follow-up. Be The One and New Rules onwards have really set the groundwork for a potentially massive second album if it comes before the hype dies down - late 2018/early 2019 would be best to take advantage of TV promo.

I don’t think Last Dance did much anywhere though? Either way, I’m not convinced it would be the right choice. I think Begging would finish the era off nicely and be another cute top 20 for her. In reality we’ll probably get Homesick -_-

#4 in today's midweeks! And with four more days AND the Brits boost coming, a new peak is almost guarranteed.

I hope she gets a huge boost from the Brits! She deserves it!

She could make it top 3! :o

I feel like her next album will debut with like 50k

Album up to #2 on iTunes!!

#1 on iTunes! Queen etc

Also #3 in mids!

This is officially a top three album!!! So proud of her, it's been an insane album campaign but I'm so happy that this finally has a peak that reflects the quality of the album. Fingers crossed it can get one spot higher next week :D

Album is #2 in mids today :o

Damn you The Greatest Showman :cry:

 

Can't see this posted anywhere, but I've just watched this video on the Radio 1 YouTube page where Dua reflects on the success of the album era. Really interesting watch and it's great to see Dua's passion for music come through, particularly when she speaks about 'New Rules' and the messages she conveyed.

New peak of #3 in the UK

Happy first anniversary to the release of debut album.
