Not bad numbers honestly. I hope her next album DELIVERS.

Tragic for mayhem.

especially since mayhem originally was not going to have DWAS

But Dua Lipa is a new generation and we will see how well she will doing with her 7th studio album. 

DWAS was destiny for LG and Mayhem.

That makes no sense, why would she say Disease is the lead then?

Because it is the lead of the era.

dwas had it’s own mini era but still part of the album, treat it like a bonus track without the ‘bonus track’ label.

 

for example, Janet’s Doesn’t Really Matter was released as the Nutty Professor 2 song, and the All For You was the lead of the album, but still DRM was part of the album but was never treated as the lead.

I understand without understanding

I mean, a lead single is a lead single, regardless of its significance to the album.

But from what I understand, basically DWAS to MAYHEM is what Yoü And I was to Born This Way.
