Dua Lipa finally unlocked her third studio album ‘Radical Optimism’ on the masses this week.
Arriving on the towering heels of hit-filled sophomore LP ‘Future Nostalgia,’ the eagerly awaited set sees the British belle team with the likes of Kevin Parker and Andrew Wyatt on a project that anchors its sound in “1970s-era psychedelia.”
The masses received a taste of what’s on offer by way of preceding singles ‘Houdini,’ ‘Training Season,’ and ‘Illusion.’
With the album now available, the first week sales predictions are in.
Find out how the numbers are stacking up below…
According to Hits Daily Double, ‘Radical Optimism’ is pacing towards a debut with the following US sales:
55,000-65,000
Sales Plus Streaming Units
The sum will see Lipa nab a top 10 start on the Billboard 200, though it won’t be enough to dethrone Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ (which is on track to score a third week at #1).
Interestingly, the current forecast sees the singer eyeing a launch akin to that of ‘Future Nostalgia’ – which opened with 66,000 in 2020.
