Lady Gaga continues to dominate the music scene with her latest single, Abracadabra, which debuted at No. 1 on the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart. This marks only the second No. 1 entry in the chart’s five-week history, solidifying her influence in the genre. The track, introduced during the Grammy Awards on February 2, quickly gained traction despite its mid-week release, accumulating impressive numbers in a shortened tracking period.
Abracadabra has set a new benchmark for sales and streaming within the chart’s brief history, powered by 13.7 million official U.S. streams, 1.3 million radio audience impressions, and 10,000 downloads through February 6. The song also made an impact on the Billboard Hot 100, entering at No. 29 in its first week. With Die with a Smile and Disease also charting, Gaga’s upcoming album Mayhem, set for release on March 7, already boasts three top 40 hits, a feat she last achieved with Artpop in 2013.
Gaga’s track record in the dance and pop realm extends far beyond this latest success. She has previously led the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart with hits like Bad Romance, Born This Way, Rain on Me featuring Ariana Grande, and Poker Face, which held the top spot for an impressive 15 weeks. Additionally, her debut album The Fame continues to make waves, spending an incredible 193 weeks at No. 1 on the Top Dance Albums chart and currently sitting at No. 2 after nearly 17 years.
With Abracadabra casting a spell over the charts and anticipation building for Mayhem, Lady Gaga once again proves why she remains a formidable force in music.
