GAYLE's 'abcdefu' surpasses 1 billion streams on Spotify


Recommended Posts

It's her first song to achieve this feat. Classic early 20s hit did that :bird:

Good for her. What are the steams like for the other songs?

It's kind of crazy how much of a one-hit wonder she's turning out to be. "Ur So Horny" sounded like a hit and yet it went nowhere. They had her do collabs with other rising stars to no avail.

 

That TikTok expose with the marketing lady asking her to make the song seems to have destroyed her credibility and any possibility of a real fanbase. Like it's crazy how she really has zero fans for someone so young with such a big hit. Not even the gays are ironically stanning. Her 'This is GAYLE' Spotify playlist only has 6k likes. She has less than 300k Instagram followers. Not even Taylor Swift's endorsement helped.

 

A very curious case of the industry being able to manufacture a smash hit but totally failing to gain any traction with the artist themselves.

She just isn’t a star. You need to have star power and star quality to become a thing beyond a hit song.

It's not that deep :toofunny3: She's just another one of the many one hit wonders that have come from Tiktok. That's what happens when songs go viral on that app - they can become smash hits but they can also become so far removed from the artist themselves that none of that success translates to longevity.

"Tons'' is a stretch. 1B streams on Spotify pays out about $3M. Apart from GAYLE herself, there are two other credited songwriters on the song and then the producer and before any of that happens, her label would have already taken their cut out of it since they're the ones Spotify pays out the royalties to in the first place. 

 

I'd say at most, she'll get anywhere from $500k to $750k in Spotify royalties, maybe even less. That depends on the terms of her publishing deal and how much of the song she actually wrote. You'd be amazed how quickly a new, young artist would blow through that amount of money lol.

i hate to sound like those PopCrave replies but, that took forever. no? :deadbanana4:

I was addicted to this for weeks - she came out of nowhere with such a bop that smashed globally so effortlessly 

 

She has enough coins in her bank from this song alone I'm sure

First and last song to do that.
