#35 Perrie - Forget About Us

#63 Future & Metro Boomin - We Still Don't Trust You

#79 Dua Lipa - Illusion

 

Poor start for Dua?

Perrie is number 35 on AM. Dua at 79 and the highest Metro is at 64.

That's a really strong start for Perrie!! I think a Top 3 debut could happen for her.

 

I'd say that's around what I expected for Dua tbh.

Where did recent releases like Texas Hold Um, Yes And, Houdini enter on AM for comparison to Perrie...Does anyone know?

 

Edit found them...

#83 NEW Ariana Grande - yes, and?

#86 NEW Dua Lipa - Houdini

#59 NEW Beyonce - Texas Hold 'Em

Dua tends to be a long running smash kind of act as opposed to a big first week.

 

I actually think Duas track will peak on album release week. But she always does well overall she’s pretty consistent in getting smashes.

She’s been struggling to get those this era too tbf

I think 7 weeks in the top 10 and 5 weeks is respectable, especially as they both seemed to get off to a bit of a shaky start and were written off quickly!

21 weeks in for Houdini, a peak at 2, 7 weeks top 10 and 12 weeks top 20

 

{2}-7-10-31-31-37-52-6-9-9-10-12-12-13-15-14-43-45-51-61-57->21

 

and that's Training Season so far, 7 weeks in the top 13:

{4}-8-8-9-9-11-13

 

that's probably the dictionary definition of long lasting smash but alas she cannot win :D

Bear in mind I don't think it's unreasonable to say Houdini effectively lost out on up to 4 weeks top 10 due to Christmas...!

the first Apple Music positions were #59 & #87 for Beyoncé but this was released on a Monday and had Superbowl hype etc..

 

#83 was the first known position for ‘yes,and?’

 

#86 for Houdini. That was Q4 and much stronger competition/xmas starting to take over.

 

But all three (obviously) had much stronger immediate support, but Perrie’s is surprisingly really strong too.

 

Edit: LMAO I’m too late but nvm!

#79 Dua Lipa - Illusion

Houdini started at #86 and Training Season at #158 so this is her highest AM debut this era.

Great start for Perri!

The fact remains that FOR HER standards it’s a disappointment. She’s lacking a Don’t Start Now/New Rules/Levitating type hit so far this era and it’s not unreasonable to point that out

That’s not true at all.

That's true, but New Rules and Levitating were like the 5th singles (and both post-album), so there's a chance that can happen again.

Perri is also higher than Illusion on Apple's Today's Hits, Illusion is only track 20

It's 7. It's higher than Perrie.
