    Consequence lists Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra” as the 2nd best song of 2025 so far: “For the last decade, Lady Gaga has asserted herself as an actress. She’s always toyed with scale and theatricality,

Love this review by Consequence:

 

Gaga is great at many things, but something special happens when she leans into dark pop, especially when the music plays around with concepts of the occult or taboo. In “Abracadabra,” she goes all in: “The concept is dance, or die,” she proclaims at the start of the music video, which Gaga herself co-directed with Parris Goebel and Bethany Vargas. Throngs of writhing backup dancers, a chanting chorus reminiscent of witchcraft intertwined with Gaga’s own name, lyrics about haunting trances and casting spells, and one perfectly placed feral scream come together like a lightning rod for a new generation of potential Little Monsters.

 

There’s a tether between the Gaga of 2009 who seduced us with “Bad Romance” and the Gaga of “Abracadabra,” but it doesn’t feel like the acclaimed artist is striving to recreate the magic of the past. Instead, Gaga — 15 years after she burst into the entertainment world with a nearly unrivaled passion for performance — is exploring her first artistic persona through a new, more experienced lens. We know more about Stefani Germanotta these days than ever before, but removing some of the mystique over the past few decades has removed none of her power.

 

Lady Gaga can arguably do it all — including cast a spell over her willing audience.

Brasil has always been here for good pop. They were the main country of Spicy Girls success, after UK. They even gave Forever its only ever no.1!!!
I heard this in Wetherspoons tonight! :o I was shocked to hear them playing such a new song! Can see the general public latching on the way they seem to have done for apt as it’s got the same kinda easy to singalong chorus!

This never happened because Brazil is a mess and never had an official chart and still doesn't have one to this day even though it is one of the biggest markets in the world. :lulu:

Could she get the UK #1 this week if the streams continue to increase?

Yes. Let's hope her team drops physicals asap.
