I still can't comprehend how its streams grew rapidly during the first week and almost doing DWAS's numbers in its peak to freefalling the next  

I know the superbowl happened but I didn't think it would affect the song's performance this much considering how well it did during release week. I was expecting it to remain stable at least

Everyone is blaming the Superbowl, but idk, I wouldnt suddenly start listening to music that I never listen to, and the abandon another song. I think we just have to accept Abra was frontloaded, and after the hype it didn’t stick

ok back to the mayhem playlist we all go. let’s report back next week after a week of nonspot listening

It's really disappointing, given how strong the song's start was in its first 7 or so days. It's really dropped off. I'm not so sure it can climb back into the top 10 on album release week if it keeps decreasing like this. The Weeknd's album drop only boosted Timeless from 18 to 7 on the BH100.

The first week was heavily front loaded. Grammys are a huge HUGE promo spot with millions of watchers. It simply had a larger reach and more people were curious to check it out. Gaga is very promo sensitive. If she promotes, people tune in. If she doesn’t she has to rely solely on fan support, which isn’t big enough to pull the numbers required for the song to chart high. 
 

Its also normal that the hype goes down for subsequent weeks because people aren’t as excited anymore. However, the fact that it’s still declining is a dead confirmation the song did not resonate with people outside the fanbase, hence its unlikely for it to peak high. It’s just how it goes. While yes, the superbowl also skewed the perception of things the streams are declining too fast because it hasn’t found its footing yet.

The best we can hope is for the physicals to be released at a less competitive week for it to bounce back and once the album comed out, the streams might grow enough for a top 10

Same here. If it keeps losing traction at this rate, week 4 will be #45, week 5: #65-67. Week 6 (album release week), has a very steep uphill battle. I truly think #12 will be its peak

also idk how accurate is this predication she keeps climbing by a million on spotify and the abra mv is growing steady per day 

[PartySick 149,146]

This is why I don't take charts seriously  

Y'all were all saying two weeks ago "IT'S THE NEXT BAD ROMANCE. HER 2ND SINGLES ALWAYS DO SO GREAT! A STAPLE SONG!"

Now it's "THE SONG'S A FLOP! STANS ARE GONNA MAKE FUN OF US! WHY DID SHE SING D*CK IN A BOX!"

Doesn't it get exhausting?  

Just listen to the music and let the charts be whatever they are.

That said, I totally get why it's falling. Even I've barely played it at all this week, there's other stuff I'm listening to Disease stuck much harder for me. Abracadabra was a huge pop but huge pops don't last.

It seems like shes holding on globally a bit better than in the US specifically 

[Plastic Flower 4,162]

And I’m not surprised. TikTok alone won’t make this song a hit.

Yup. Because Sports Car by Tate is BLOWING up on TikTok, yet it's not really doing that great in the US.

it's so obvious interscope is no longer interested in the chart performances of their veteran act's singles

[Delulu Rogers 7,088]

I don’t care about chart placements but what can we expect if she does no promo for them
