Yeah, I was so expecting DTN to have been a bonus album track just for streaming purposes...I guess they couldn't clear it due to being on Barbie album or something!

 

Anyways, the album has a potential...one of the Falling Forever, French Exit and/or Maria could take off if TikTok picks them up...both French Exit and Maria could do well in Europe because they both sound so catered to European market!!!

 

As of US, I feel like there's nothing in album to cater that market...Maybe Whatcha Doing feat. Bruno Mars or something!!!

For reference, she did 15.8M worldwide. Future Nostalgia debuted with 29.1M worldwide, and both had 11 tracks.

Also to note that spotify is quite a bit larger now as well/has more users. So the figures overall are quite disappointing :(

You have to blame Drake. All I saw on social media yesterday was Drake/Kendrick stuff it totally distracted from everything else.

I hope These Walls, Illusion and Training Season are the 3 Dua Lipa songs that go top 40 on Friday. I’d rather Houdini got starred out

Wow, that is pretty terrible comparison. Most other artists are beating their Spotify debuts.

If this isn’t sarcasm it’s insane cope

AS IF Drake and Dua Lipa share a fanbase

I hope These Walls, Illusion and Training Season are the 3 Dua Lipa songs that go top 40 on Friday. I’d rather Houdini got starred out

 

I’m hoping Illusion, Training Season and End Of An Era are the chosen 3.

Hopefully she’s collabing with Calvin Harris this year and we get Second Kiss to save pop

Spotify Chart Update (03/05)

 

52 63 David Guetta, OneRepublic – I Don't Wanna Wait 155,504 [*PEAK*]

I love the way this is climbing, slowly but relentlessly. It will be a big hit in the Summer. :cheer:

 

EDIT: on the other hand, isn't actually a bad sign Olly Alexander is not top 200 on Spotify and Apple? Eurovision finale is in 1 week you know. :drama:

I don’t know why she didn’t put the Barbie single on the album? It sounds relatively similar and was a huge hit, it would have definitely helped streaming numbers and kept it around a bit longer from people listening to it. She’d also have a smash from this album on top.

 

Would’ve been the highlight of the album too

not a bad sign really, it'd have been more of a surprise if he was actually charting at this point

 

to compare with the last two years:

Mae Muller re-entered May 10th, three days before the Eurovision final (she charted for one day upon the song's release beforehand)

Sam Ryder entered May 11th, three days before the Eurovision final

If this is accurate then 70k US would be decent and probably translates to around 35-40k UK

Kendrick Lamar has an amazing song called These Walls from like 10 years ago if anybody cares lol.

Indeed :heart: One of my favs from Kendrick. 1000% better than Dua's 'These Walls' (even thought I still like it quite a bit).

Anyways, the album has a potential...one of the Falling Forever, French Exit and/or Maria could take off if TikTok picks them up...

Those are hands down the three best songs on the album. Would love one of them to take off. That synth whistle bit in 'Maria' is SUCH an earworm, it's a shame there's not more of that sort of thing on the album.

Hopefully she’s collabing with Calvin Harris this year and we get Second Kiss to save pop

 

I could probably do without that if their second collab was anything to go by 💀

When it started to became Calvin's job to save chart careers? Ellie, Rag N Bone Man, who next, Jess Glynne?!?!? god forbid :P

Calvin Harris brings them to the limelight for 1 song, then they release solo material and no one cares
