Sun Nov 17 09:40:00 IST 2024: ## Gracie Abrams’ “That’s So True” Soars to Top of Spotify, Poised for Hot 100 Dominance

**NEW YORK** – Singer Gracie Abrams is experiencing a meteoric rise with her bonus track, “That’s So True,” which has unexpectedly topped the Spotify daily chart and is predicted to make a significant impact on the Billboard Hot 100. The song, featured on the deluxe edition of her album “The Secret of Us,” has held the #1 spot on Spotify’s US chart for over a week and also reached #1 in the UK.

Abrams, currently opening for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, expressed her disbelief and gratitude at the song’s success. “It’s nuts,” she told Variety. “The concept of even one person liking the song as much as I do makes my heart crack open.”

The song’s rapid ascent has surprised many in the industry. While Abrams has previously achieved success, reaching #2 on the Billboard 200 album chart, “That’s So True” far surpasses her previous highest-charting single, “I Love You, I’m Sorry,” which peaked at #19. The deluxe album’s release also boosted the album back into the top 5 of the US charts.

The success is attributed partly to Abrams’ unique strategy of introducing the song live during her summer tour, building anticipation amongst her dedicated fanbase before its official release. Interscope Geffen A&M’s Sam Riback highlighted the importance of this “special bond” with fans, noting that they felt a sense of ownership over the song before its wider release. The label also strategically released the deluxe edition three months after the standard album, allowing for a prolonged buildup of excitement.

The song’s simple lyric video, featuring close-ups of Abrams’ mouth, has also resonated with fans, who have praised its minimalist aesthetic. The acoustic guitar-driven track, reminiscent of her earlier single “Risk,” features a particularly well-received bridge, which fans have celebrated as a highlight.

Abrams’ rapid rise challenges the current state of the Billboard Hot 100, where several top songs have remained stagnant for months. If “That’s So True” continues its trajectory, it is poised to break this logjam and inject fresh energy into the chart. Its success demonstrates the power of organic fanbase connection and a smart, unconventional release strategy.
