charts discussion Abracadabra MV 100M views on YouTube

[Sweetestsecret]

 

[Peroxide]

Yeah this is super impressive for a Western artist.

[Europe]

The true sign of a GLOBAL hit

[Galaxy]

That's kind of 1B for Western music video standards. Congrats 

[Saintlor]

For any of our faves, YT views mean nothing.

 

Most labels buy ad views.

 

It famously happened with one of The Weeknd's recent music videos.

The post-Coachella boom is gonna be rough on the OGHs

 

[WildAmerican]

a GLOBAL solo hit in 2025 

[BoricuaMonster]

One of her best music videos  I keep going back to it every now and then. It blends so well with the music. The costumes, the choreography, the dark vibes, the lady in red doing the dances with the cane, the scream near the end, the nostalgia of Gaga returning to form, just too good. Also add that it debuted at the Grammy adding so much excitement to it. A moment!

Youtube is the best metric for globality and it's indeed global.

What boom stop setting her up lmfao

[youngpopariana]

Well deserved 

 

MTV better not fumble this :

 

VOTY

Best Pop 

Best Choreography 

Best Cinematography 

Those categories should be on lock if they don't play in Gaga's face 

[Cyber]

No one care about YouTube in 2025. Good for her though 

[Artur]

Amazing! Shows that quality music videos can still do numbers.

Ad views can easily be traced. Abracadabra has not had any ads. The Weeknd's video's views were inorganic compared to how the streams of that same song were doing on other platforms. Abracadabra is doing more or less what a regular hit video would do in today's climate with comparable Spotify streams. 

 

OT: Yes Global hit. 100M is like at least 500M in YouTube's hey-day. 

[AllyGayTor]

Video of the year 

[Bubble Tea]

An organic hit.

I hate that she has a MAYHEM show the same night.  Although she obviously deserves it, I don't think she will snatch VOTY without being at the ceremony.

We were told Gaga would be debuting with less than 10M. Then she did 45M. Three songs in the Top 10 on day one. Two hits from the same album. That whole album charted on the Top 100 chart, most songs in the Top 50, three in the Top 10. Has done 600M without DWAS so far. The album is a big fat hit and is consistently pulling 15M daily streams. It was a BOOM, an explosion so hard the OGHs can barely sit on their bottoms anymore. Gagachella won't be providing them no anal ointments either. Most likely cause them to bleed and be humiliated even more. And we love to see it.

It's impressive Gaga has reached big numbers on both relevant and irrelevant platforms with that same song. Others are doing flop numbers on all.

Well Katheryn flopped in Spotify & Apple Music. People do care about that. Go and stream so that they won't leave her in space.
