We actually got REAL confirmation from her that we are, but it still led to meltdowns. 
She already has a ton going on this year, it's not like she's taking a break lol. An album next year just spaces out her projects a bit.

Q1 is a dead period for album sales, since it follows the holiday season where everyone spends their money for gifts, money received as gifts, iTunes cards, etc.
I suppose that enough sales would keep it on top of the Billboard 200 for more than two weeks. I remember reading that radio stations do look at how well an album is doing on the charts to determine how in demand an artists' singles might be. Which is kinda how Adele got her success with RITD, I suppose. Gaga isn't a new artist though, so we'll see.
