Lady Gaga‘s electro banger “Abracadabra” won the best dance pop recording Grammy on Sunday (Feb. 1) in Los Angeles.
This is the first of a few potential wins for the song at the 2026 awards, with “Abracadabra” also up for record of the year and song of the year, with those awards to be presented during the televised ceremony later this evening.
With the best dance pop recording win, Lady Gaga beat out Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s “Bluest Flame,” Zara Larsson’s “Midnight Sun,” Tate McRae’s “Just Keep Watching (From F1® The Movie)” and PinkPantheress’ “Illegal.”
The album from which the song comes, Mayhem, is itself nominated for best pop vocal album and album of the year, with Gaga also having 2026 nominations for best pop solo performance for “Disease” and best traditional pop vocal album for “Harlequin.” These seven total nominations is a one-year record for the icon. Lady Gaga, who has a total of 45 nominations going back to 2009, will also perform during the televised ceremony later today.
“Abracadabra” peaked at No. 13 on the Hot 100 and spent 20 weeks on the chart. Mayhem spent 37 weeks at No. 1 on Top Dance Albums, ultimately spending 46 weeks on the chart.
This award marks the third time the best dance/pop recording award has been given out, with the category introduced at the 2024 awards and the first ever winner being Kylie Minogue’s “Padam Padam.” That win was followed by Charli xcx taking home the award last year for “Von Dutch,” with this category being established as place for pop titans to deliver their dance/electronic leaning work.
