Jack Harlow will debut #1. This will debut around top 10. Bank on it I agree with that assessment. Because of the overall weakness of the chart Houdini could go a bit higher

So after 6 or 7 listens I do overall like the song. I like the progression musically particularly the futuristic synth sound. My issue is the melody is too familiar. It's like a mashup of 4 or 5 other Dua songs

The hooks really get under your skin after a few listens, and definitely a fun sound for her, but not quite at the level of the FN highs.

This reminds me of when The Weeknd released “Sacrifice” or “Gasoline”

Banger so catchy. The bridge is great probably the best part of the song. Its on par with Physical my favorite Dua song.

Honestly I've thought for a while now that it still might have been somewhat too early for the lead single because the big hits from Future Nostalgia, Cold Heart, Sweetest Pie and DTN have been keeping us well fed these last 2 years. Which really shows how excellent she is as an artist.
However I have doubts about what I thought now because this exceeded the already high expectations I had for her and I am totally ready for her to smash again with another album. I've heard this only once in full so far but I noticed that there were so many things about the song that she absolutely nailed. It's been stuck in my head all day. The video was cool and I love the Halloween/autumn vibes the song gives as well. Also really glad this still has sort of the sound that Future Nostalgia had because she has really mastered it at this point. Hoping this smashes!

Jack Harlow will debut #1. This will debut around top 10. Bank on it I don’t know about that. Harlow is number 1 on iTunes, but his video hasn’t even reached a million views.

Love this. A move away from the disco stuff but not so dissimilar that’s it’s jarring. And she slays in the video. This will be huge! 🤞

Serviced to Pop, Hot AC and Rhythmic. Impacts immediately the former. Projected to debut inside the Top 30 on the Sunday Top 40/M published update.

Dua's Billboard peak there was #4 with New Rules and Sweetest Pie her feature with Megan at #8 . other solo songs have not done so well with Don't Start Now peaking at #32 , Levitating at #22 and Dance The Night at #37.

Not as instant as her FN singles, but the quality is high. Kudos to all involved. The video carries. Watching Dua's confidence grow has been great.

It's not as instant as the 'Future Nostalgia' singles for me but it's still a banger. Hopefully the album leans a bit more into the psychedelic pop that was sprinkled throughout the song. I heard a rumor 'Tame Impala' produced some of her new tracks so I'm hyped!

This was about as far as I expected her to stray from FN, but I’m here for it. She’s found her sound and I’m happy she is more or less sticking with it while evolving a bit and adding some new sounds

First half of the song drags for me, second half of the song is lit and I want more of THAT synth psychedelic drop that Tame Impala is famous for. The substance of this lyrically and emotionally lacks from FN quality, but this is still fun and on repeat. It’s a good enough earworm that it’ll be a hit.

This is going to be massive. Wouldn't be surprised if it debuted at #1 on the Hot 100. Fingers crossed! Zero percent chance of that, but I’m hoping for a top 20 debut while it builds at radio. Prediction models have it debuting around #11 Billboard at the moment. I think it will grow throughout the week and crack top 10… either way her highest debut!

huge Dua fan, and this is instant, but instantly generic. Doesn't go anywhere. This is in the Sweetest Pie tier, not lead single tier for me. Will probably peak in the #5-10 range on Pop, but I don't think it's touching #1. Still love the sound tho, and glad she's not rehashing Hot Ac elevator music like some are.

For all those wanting more psychedelic vibes from the album, I think it’s coming for sure. Dua mentioned in a recent interview saying that the album had a darker, psychedelic feel to it.
Perhaps this was a “bridge” so casual fans wouldn’t jump ship immediately. Just a thought.

I’m really enjoying this new one. This definitely bridges the style between what she was doing with the last record and then when she might be doing with the next one.
Would love to see this smash.
