It’s performing better than Future Nostalgia in its debut week. Time will tell, but I don’t think it’s fair to call this a flop when it’s outpeaking everything she’s done so far. Her best Spotify debuts are all RO tracks, it already outpeaked FN with first week sales. I’m not crazy to think that it means it’s more influential and why I’m saying time will tell. Miley had a mega hit and press to promote Endless Vacation and Dua already outpeaked in the U.S. with the singles and album debut (with the exception of Flowers going #1.) Training Season and Illusion outpeaked her second and third singles. Miley Cyrus is much more commercially famous than Dua. Dua is still building a name for herself in the U.S. so as an international act she is doing better than a lot of her peers. 
 

Dua also doesn’t have a dedicated fan base like Taylor, Ariana, Billie, Olivia (all US acts) to carry her numbers for weeks on end. For an act from the UK she is doing great

But after a huge era and a hit theme song, one would think she gain more than a few fans...

And she did hence why she is performing better first week than her last albums did first week…..

And the GP (her largest audience) doesn’t go and buy and stream first week anyways. Taylor sneezes and the media give her promo for weeks. The other girls have the jobless supporting them nonstop. Dua will be ok regardless if a handful of queens on Exhale think she’s flopping

@rik I didn’t forget about your Dua phase so I need to know whether or not your supported this album

Not some of you trying to make fun of a girl who made 86 million dollars last year alone and calling her a flop

Exactly. I’m sure Dua is going to quit after some losers on an online forum whilst she stays booked and busy are calling her a flop 

[RadicalOptimism]

How idiotic is it to call someone from the UK a flop for debuting at #1 IN THE UK and #2 in the US

Britney never had a #1 album in the UK. Out of her 9 albums and the mega star she was and continues to be she never had a #1 album in the UK and she’s nowhere near a flop

Omg girl I’m so late to everything. You know I LOVE Dua!!! I’m so dumb, I listen to things I like 3 months after they drop and then wonder why my faves flop   LOL. but for real, strong singles in my opinion. Im sure the record is good and I plan on listening during work.

Oh stop that ****. Dua was in her third era and we knew the album was coming. Taylor just announced her **** without a single or anything like the attention obsessed seeker she is. All about me, me, me

You think that Taylor decided to drop her album after Dua announced hers even though TTPD was announced first?

How you coming in with a random daily fail receipt?

Making that much money for being mediocre?! Good for ha. I think most of us are talking about her album being a flop (which it is) and not talking about her earnings? 

@RadicalOptimism I commend your non stop support for Dula Peep!
