Bigger: Bloody Mary or Abracadabra?

[Creyk 18,242]

In your opinion which song is known by more people? Which is more impactful, famous and big?

[AVeryGagaHolyDick 29,954]

Bloody Mary by far, it’s factual and there’s no debate.

Call me when Abra sells 15M units

Bloody Mary

Abracadabra 

[JustTea 6,812]

I feel like everyone from 0-30yo knows Bloody Mary atp, it's been trending for years now.

However, Abracadabra was all over radio and it's more widely known on ppl of all age, I think. 

BM is still a bit ahead when it comes to SPS units

Bloody Mary is like Abra's older sister

ABRACADABRA

Great analysis! I agree! It might be close, but it's actually Abracadabra.

My mom and other boomers I know, can recognize the melody and chorus of Abra and it's because of Latin American media. I feel like Abra def got its GP moment (albeit brief) throughout the world. Only millennials and younger generations know Bloody Mary for the most part. 

I will say I flipped when I heard BM play at a tiny luxury perfume and watch store in Philipsburg a year after the whole Wednesday virality. It was being guarded by like 6 hunky security guards dressed in all black—it was so kunty and Bad Romance BathHaus coded.

They're both Gaga classics

Bloody Mary was a viral Tik Tok sound 

Abracadabra was a cultural moment

Was Bloody Mary not a cultural moment? Entire elementary school sport teams were doing the dance together

Surprised by some of the responses. 

Abra outcharted BM, has almost the same number of Spotify streams (despite still being fairly new) and has a music video with over 240m views; a video that also went viral (albeit less viral than the Wednesday dance but still viral). 

I think Abra is the more 'traditional' hit known to a wider portion of the public, whereas BM is more of a TikTok hit. Both smashes but I think Abra is closer to Gaga's other hit singles than BM. Am I wrong?
