Pop icon Lady Gaga has achieved a major milestone with her latest single, “Abracadabra,” which has reached the #1 spot on the US iTunes chart for the first time ever, as reported by @ThePopTingz on X (post ID: 1898966755969520035) early Monday morning. The announcement, accompanied by striking images of Gaga in her signature avant-garde style—including a black-and-white portrait through a shattered mirror and a bold red, spiked outfit—has sent fans into a frenzy, celebrating her triumphant return to the dance-pop throne.
Released as part of her forthcoming seventh studio album, Mayhem, “Abracadabra” has been hailed as an “explosive new dance-pop single” by Billboard’s Kyle Denis, blending pulsating beats, hypnotic synths, and a dramatic vocal delivery reminiscent of Gaga’s early hits from The Fame Monster era (2009). Critics, including DIY and Pitchfork, have praised the track’s high-energy production and catchy chorus, drawing comparisons to her iconic works like “Bad Romance” and Chromatica (2020), while noting its dark, theatrical edge.
The song’s success follows a massive 4.92 million streams on Spotify on its release day, marking Gaga’s biggest solo debut on the platform. Fans and critics alike have lauded “Abracadabra” for its nostalgic yet innovative sound, with Jenesaispop describing it as a “full-fledged dark electropop banger in classic Gaga style.” The accompanying music video, premiered during the Grammy Awards, features Gaga facing off against alternate versions of herself, symbolizing a readiness to confront challenges—a theme she elaborated on in an Elle interview, calling it a “dance for their lives” narrative.
As “Abracadabra” continues to dominate charts and playlists, Lady Gaga solidifies her status as a pop powerhouse, captivating audiences with her signature blend of artistry and innovation in 2025.
