Cuff It and Million Reasons seems like a better comparison in terms of current sales and streaming. Abra is obviously bigger

these are totally different songs lol impossible to compare....cuff it is one of bey;s best in her catalogue...abra is consistent for gagas sound.....both are good songs (Abra isnt my favorite on Mayhem, I prefer Zombieboy Love Drug sounding songs; Cuff It is top 3 on Ren)

Cuff it issa good song but Abracadabra

"Demolishes"

This is five years vs. 10 months. It's already half-way towards matching it in numerous markets.

You mean 3 years?

 

Cuff It was PLATINUM in the UK in 8 months though

You're right. My bad. 

 

I do think 10 months vs. three years is a meaningful difference. It being awarded Platinum after two years still means Abracadabra has a shot since it's Gold after 10 months. Plus, a lot of certifications happen around a new album release (they cost money to update, remember) so perhaps it even is. Cuff It was a hit, don't get me wrong, but Abracadabra was in the Top 10 for 8 weeks and reached #3 while Cuff It was in the Top 10 there for four weeks and reached #5. So Cuff It did perform worse than Abracadabra and that's why it's reasonable to think Abracadabra will also outsell it there. 

Cuff It is much bigger.

 

Stop it

are you seriously equating certifications for a 3.5 year old song and a 9 month yo song?

So, why create the topic? 

i fw both but that cuff it wetter remix clears.

Love cuff it but Abra.

Love that they are both "comparable" when one of them didn't have sh*t supporting it (not even pre-album release hype that boosts streams) while the other one have all the promo you can imagine . It speaks volumes.

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.

Cuff it didn't come out in 2020….are u ok

Well yes, isn't that the point of the thread

Both are great songs but of course I'll go with Abracadabra. 

These songs are both so different and both good

 

but abra every day

They love comparisons until it doesn't serve them

 

then suddenly it's unfair

The one that is a collapse, so Abracadabra, clearly.
