One last thing: are we forgetting that a huge part of Abra’s success was its reach due to cross promotion? It’s not like folks just found it, it was the only song on the album that was piped into the homes of 16M people as soon as it came out lol

I don't think Abracadabra's success can be attributed to that. Plenty of songs, Gaga's and otherwise, have gotten similar pushes and flopped. But both things can be true: 1) Abracadabra is the best song on Mayhem and 2) An album with Abracadabra + 14 inferior versions of Abracadabra would've been way worse than what Mayhem turned out to be.

I’m not saying it’s *solely* attributed to that, but I don’t think that’s a trivial factor either. Quality + exposure surely helped.

It was well-documented that Abracadabra reignited interest in her back catalouge and gave her an overall discography boost that extended to album tracks. That's what happens when you serve true excellence. 

Imagine if she didn't cheap out on the album and delivered 15 songs on that level, the boost would be even more profound. Sadly she just had to go and include subpar material like Killah and Shadow of a man.

you just love log in and be loudly wrong, don't you?

Isn’t bloody Mary the only song that surprisingly took off with streaming recently? Aren’t the rest kinda what everyone would expect? Maybe summerboy too??

I’m still thinking about you calling VIY a SB dupe

Monster, Heavy Metal Lover, Garden of Eden, Venus, Babylon - all of these need to go viral in the future.

And it all happened without her forcing it or her having to re-release her old music re-recorded too it should be noted.

I love stanning such an incredible artist.When masterpieces like killah and shadow of a man are lauded as some kind of bad song LMFAO

What we need is for Killah to go viral

Get all the girls to shake their big naturals to the beat on TikTok or something

If we’re being honest by the music standards of today only HBDUWM stands a chance at being viral or GOE since they sound like Taylor or her old music

I mean. Just looking at the songs of hers that have gone viral without the aid of a collab, they sound nothing like what's popular
