Lady Gaga’s Latest Single Is So Huge, It’s Helping Her Previous Song Rise

[Mr S 8,671]

For Lady Gaga, the focus in this moment is on "Abracadabra," the latest single from her upcoming album Mayhem. The singer is working to make that tune as big a smash as possible before the full-length drops. As it climbs on charts in the United Kingdom, it helps its predecessor grow in popularity as well.

I don't understand why it's not performing better on charts if we have such good streamings and sales... Is the song flopping on radio?

Because it is doing good WW but not doing well in the US. And yes, radio play has been small too.

alright peeps we gotta cover radio 

 

i kno we hate making phone calls but one phone call every other hour to request abra is going to our next move for the week 

[Ladle Ghoulash 20,445]

The wait for the album is excruciating atp 😭

I heard abracadabra and DWAS on the radio during my little 30 minute commute on the way home. I only know that because my phone was dead and couldn’t use Spotify 😂

[Bronco 9,203]

Its a major fail that 3 plus weeks in we still haven't even had a preorder for physicals for Abracadabra.

[Red 97,782]

Disease deserves a renaissance, yes

[IWantYourLove 1,387]

I heard DWAS and Disease multiple times a day on the radio, I haven’t heard Abra once

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think radio impacts the UK singles chart? Either #3 is amazing for the UK

Not performing better where? It hit #3 in the UK, #4 in Germany, #12 in Australia, #12 in Canada, #13 in France, and #13 in the US. Even if it never reaches new peaks, that’s still a great set of stats. Add in the context of it being a non-lead single without physical release competing with Kendrick’s SB boost (without which it would’ve hit Top 10 in the US), it’s done amazingly.

It’s doing fine on radio - again, for a non-lead single. If that continues, it still stands a shot at reaching a new peak in 2 weeks: it’ll have ~16-20M Radio (vs. ~4M during the week it first peaked), its streams will skyrocket with album release, SNL, etc., and we’ll be further removed from the Superbowl, Drake’s album, etc.

I mean… who listens to radio these days? Maybe Gen X & boomers… but I’d say streaming is more important & a better indicator for success

No live performance yet to boost it, just cute Tiktoks
