I thought Cuff It was bigger but the stats are proving otherwise. Abra is more my cup of tea but both songs are decent. 

the "stats" being posted are literally exclusive to spotify...

 

Cuff It is bigger, as of now.

Cuff It is an amazing song bigger hit too ofc

Abra is obviously bigger and more global on streaming. Cuff It was a fine little classic for Bey tho. It took off on its own as an album track before eventually being pushed as a single without any major promotional campaign. It has very solid sales too.

Cuff it still doesn't even have a video and yet it still has massive global certs and sales in many markets. Abracadabra has everything from a video, commercial, tiktok ads, a promoted tiktok dance, and several live performances— and yet it's only slightly bigger. 

Cuff It was a quick lil viral hit that came and went, Abracadabra is already bigger even tho it was released nearly three years later

I personally prefer "Cuff It."

The Wetter Remix clears both!

Posting some objective stats for reference

And the controversial subject of daily streams 

 

Abracadabra: 1M

Cuff It: 173k

Not you seeing, coming and conquering like that.  You ate that, sis.

I think this is actually a good comparison. Both cute solo hits later in their careers with somewhat similar performance. 

 

With that said, Abra is probably bigger. Cuff It's recurrent stats are not very good and Abra seems to be holding up well. Cuff It is ~300 million streams ahead but had a 5 year head start. But they're still close. It'll probably take Abra ~2 years to catch up. Abra is obviously bigger on YouTube but not really a fair comparison as Cuff It doesn't have a video.

How is it a good comparison? Abracadabra went Top 10 in over 40 markets. You're probably only looking at the Hot 100 chart.

Week 40 (Abra's current week) on the Global 200:

Cuff It: #95

Abracadabra: #127

 

Days on Global Spotify chart:

Cuff it: 303

Abracadabra: 226

 

Both beautiful girls though

Abracadabra: Top 10 in 40 countries.

 

Cuff It: Top 10 in 7 countries. 

 

Both songs are good but Abracadabra is amazing. So Abra in terms of quality. 

 

In terms of charts and popularity it's Abra. 

Quality wise these are pretty evenly matched. Both artists best hit singles this decade. This doesn't have to be a battle. Both are great.

CUFF IT (July 2022) 3 years 3 months old - 929M streams - 170K daily streams

Abracadabra (Feb 2025) 9 months old - 629M streams - 1M daily streams

 

Considering Abra is only 9 months old and already hitting 68% of CUFF IT's total streams at 4.33x the pace

Cuff It is too repetitive for me to put it above Abra, but both are good

And yet that Latvian Airplay Top 10 didn't stop Cuff It from doing better numbers overall

Abra >>

the rest of you can enjoy the NO video, NO commercial, NO tiktok ads, NO promoted tiktok dance, and NO several live performances.

Since Cuff It charted higher, it is easy to pick

But it doesn't have better numbers overall. Abracadabra will overtake it, has better daily streams, went to the Top 10 in way more countries, is more famous and:

 

GLOBAL 200:

Cuff It: #12

Abracadabra: #5
