I'm thinking she'll do 30k-35k easily in UK and about 55k-70k in US.

 

For sure Taylor will still be too strong to beat but hopefully it will have some strong legs, and to repeak or new peak during Glastonbury!!!

Looks like a #3 incomin!! She can't release the week after either because of Kings of Leon, so it would be #3 again at extra expense!! Shoulda released it sooner.

I don't think Kings of Leon are anywhere near big enough to be (hypothetical) competition for her? 10-15 years ago maybe...

 

Also Vultures did 20k, a part 2 is gonna do less than that. I'm gonna brace myself for a #2 but hope she can get it.

Really interesting. Ben was Dua's previous manager at TaP. So if she didn't leave them we would potentially not have gotten Houdini or anything this era because he wanted Dua to work with Ian Kirkpatrick (Don't Start Now producer) not Kevin (Tame Impala) for the hits

 

Dua also mentioned in a recent interview that Ben told her even before Future Nostalgia to "hold her horses" about working with Kevin

What is meant by "Ben was right about Kevin in hindsight?"

 

I had to re-read that whole thing several times to understand who Ben, Ian and Kevin are :lol:

:lol:

 

They're saying Dua's former manager was right about Kevin/Tame Impala not being able to produce pop hits

I thought this was out today :nocheer:

I can’t wait to hear Frexit

Dua did an intimate listening party in NYC yesterday

So JEALOUS 🥺

She looks like a school teacher, but one with 10 hit singles and worldwide tours behind her!!

A bit nitpicky but she's put "who's" in the handwritten notes where it should be "whose"

 

It reads like "who is love feels like a rodeo"

She's so goddess

 

I need those chocolates in my life

Seriously this is happening quite frequently…each time she’s in NYC, I’m out of country!!!

 

Lowkey upsetting!!!

Sorry what’s an album focus track? I’m behind the times oops

It's the track that gets the push on streaming playlists during album release week.

 

LQ snippets of several tracks are floating about on X now
