Dua Lipa's Houdini debuts at #11, falls 22 spots on its 2nd week on the Hot 100

I think it was optimistic of them to release it around the time Christmas songs start to rise. It debuted well but thought it’d be higher or have some type of hype. Like usually popstars have a huge comeback after a big era/Grammy winning debut or second album but it’s most likely going to rise, for sure.

Maybe she will go on some TV shows and perform and do a disappearing act at the end.

I read this as do a disappointing act at the end 💀

Quite a letdown song after the masterpiece FN was, so I am not surprised at all

I fell in love with this song but it took me a while. Might be a bit too alt to become a smash hit, but I still think it will perform solidly.

Nothing particularly “alt” about it

I want to think there’s going to be even better tracks on the album. Don’t Start Now was ok but Physical, Levitating and Hallucinate were even better.

The holy trinity of FN for sure. Houdini is a cute bop, but to me feels like a weak lead single similar to Don’t Start Now was for the FN era.

Dua’s been know to climb up charts, not necessarily debut high. I think its probably gonna grow.

DSN debuted at #30 and charted for 19 weeks til it hit number 2. Dua's kinda known for being a grower & I'm sure this will rise to the top 10 and hopefully hit #1 bc she really deserves it honestly this song & video are a smash.

the new pop stars don’t give like they used to.  totally forgot the song existed after seeing the music video and cringey paid user generated content on tiktok 

If Gaga did the same tiktok stuff you would be praising her. But Gaga is doing bare minimum to interact and **** with us.

This! And, even though they aren’t the same artist, Billie has had lead singles not be the songs that become insanely popular. So I don’t think it’s impossible for her to get something viral this era.

this. and Houdini is so much better than DSN in my humble opinion.

I love the song and could care less about chart performance, especially when you have all kinds of whos on the top for so long nowadays. it’s almost better NOT to chart at this point. lol.
