We reckon she'll tour her own in earnest?

Got to assume arenas, then if the new record goes stratospheric, a stadium run in 2025.

I would say a run at some smaller stadiums next year. Then if it really takes off then the big stadiums the following year.

could possibly be just arenas and a date at bst.

Can definitely see a Soulwax mix of Houdini coming up, perfect song for it.

I wonder if the plan was for Glastonbury to announce Dua shortly after the original T day and all these other festivals would have followed in behind… the Dua announcement won’t have quite the same impact now we know she’s playing a dozen euro festivals and is Lock of the Decade

It still wouldnt have mattered because she will be hitting up the circuit regardless.

I would be expecting a BST to go with Glastonbury to be fair, were it not for the fact the chatter around here seems to be Madonna will also be doing it.

Two headliners both at BST in the same year? I'm not sure if that's happened before.

It would have, if 2020 hadn't turned to sh*t. So that's enough of a precedent.

So it would have done! Thank you.

Houdini only at number 3 in the midweek charts behind Jack Harlow at number 1 and The Beatles at number 2 feels weird

The Beatles still being that high up in the charts feels weird.

It's the curse of Tame Impala. See also Lady Gaga's Perfect Illusion for a lead single that unexpectedly underperformed.

To be fair, none of the singles from Future Nostalgia reached number one either.

Huh. I hadn't actually realised that.

Really!? That's actually schocked me

Dance The Night has been pretty ubiquitous, so I don't think it's a sign of going off the boil.

That was actually a tune though.

The Beatles dropped a fair chunk, which isn't too surprising.

This Jack Harlow fellow, how big is he with the youth?

[CaledonianGonzo]

In the UK at least not that big up until now. 

Not many folk going bananas in June when he debuted on El Pointo with Lil Nas X.

That was my thought too. But a few top ten hits, it seems.

Curious. Let's see if he falls on the bill at all.

Not a Soulwax mix but a near 9 minute version has just dropped. Great stuff, the single edit stops as soon as it gets going.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yes - much more like it.

Sorry, 5 min 53. Sun was shining on my phone 🙄

It's fair to say Houdini is definitely not in the most Spotify streams of Dua Lipa, it's also just not very good and quickly boring.

Yeah doesn’t seem to have made the splash I’m sure she/her label were hoping for and dropped off pretty quickly. Here’s hoping single #2 fairs a bit better. I doubt she’s on track for a flop album but Houdini didn’t get things off to the best start. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah it's not a career killer. Probably not helped by a half-arsed promo campaign and releasing it just as folk start listening to nothing but Mariah and Wham!  But Dance The Night was massive, so she's still a long way from the dumper.

Yeah that’s great. I like the original anyway so more the merrier.
