GoldDerby predicts Abracadabra as frontrunner for Song of the Year at next Grammys

[Nagini 1,724]

Chart placement absolutely matters for these large categories. Look at past winners-- they need visibility and recognition to even be considered as nominees. There are exceptions, but these exceptions are reserved for those that have decades-long musical legacies (Gaga/Tony Bennett nominations, Bonnie, ABBA). Debra had a cute moment in the U.S. but by no means was a monster smash in this market, which will hurt its chances. The bright side is that this year is looking very weak with many staple artists not releasing or flopping miserably. 

I honestly don't care if Debra wins ROTY or SOTY because she should've taken those categories for Shallow or Bad Romance (the latter of which I don't think she submitted... like what lol). And these loser editors are 100% wrong all the time. If Gaga can secure a sustained, top 10 streaming hit from Mayhem outside of DWAS which already had its moment, that song will be a serious contender and she will be much stronger match against Kendrick for AOTY or ROTY/SOTY.

Frontrunner for a nomination... Which is obvious. It won't win though.

If you could both please re-read what I wrote...I said Interscope/her team NOT Gaga herself. Let's not twist my words here. 

Radio didn't give it much of a push when Abracadabra was released if I do recall correctly. Also as I said before a physical CD/vinyl single release would have given it an extra boost during the first few weeks of release. 

You’re totally right! On its release week, they dropped it and literally let it rot. It would’ve been an easy top 10, possible top 5

True...

I think they got caught off guard with the success which isn't really a excuse because it's lady gaga.

A top 5 was totally within reach if they did literally anything, still a bit irked but wtv.

literally they dropped the song and video during the Grammys on a Sunday evening and then didn't do anything after apart from playlisting. 

Gaga has a die-hard fanbase and a lot of us would have bought the physicals which would have easily made it debut or chart within the top 10. It's such a major loss for one of her greatest pop singles in years. I genuinely don't even care about chart placement much but it's just common sense to have released the song/video in tandem with a cd/7'vinyl. Same goes for disease which they also let rot.
