Everyone thought 2011 would be the Trinity's year, but none of us knew that Adele would snatch the industry's wig and end up with the best-selling album of 2011.

Now that Gaga, Bey, and Britney are each preparing to begin their eras next year, will they rule the charts? Or will another unexpected artist snatch their wigs? If so, who do you think will slay? Share your thoughts, please

of course

britney bey and gaga should make this a tradition and release materials at the same year

i guess 2014 would be another boring mess

I think so. Their only major competition is Katy and Adele (assuming no yearly Rihanna release), the latter of which isn't confirmed to be releasing next year. Gaga will do very well as usual, especially if "Ratchet" is real, and Beyonce has the Pepsi endorsement backing her. Britney has been on an upward swing as far as singles, which will benefit her as well.

No, you have Katy to compete with. Sure, she won't block their albums, but she'll definitely have the bigger singles.

Adele could be the dark horse as well.

Britney, Beyonce and GaGa were supposed to 'slay' 2011 but ended up underperforming

People are saying they'll slay in 2012 but a new artist will probably appear with a single and will smash, Katy and Avril will also appear unexpectedly and will put the others in the dust

Most likely this.

Rihanna will release a new album in November.... Jus sayin

Yes Yes Yes

I'm still expecting Lana Del Rey to come out to slay the industry. Maybe a late bloomer with Ride. She's there, she just needs a little more of a push.

Yes. Them plus Katy and Rihanna.

Girlfriend 2.0 is coming sis

Of course they will.

No. I can't at how deluded some people are.

For starters, Thrift Shop will be a bigger hit than anything they release.

In 2011, it ended up being dominated by Adele, Katy Perry and LMFAO. It'll be 3 different (and somewhat unexpected artists) next year as well.

A new artist will steal the focus.

By the way, as far as I've heard, Adele won't be releasing a new album next year. I think 2014 will be the soonest we see another album from her. But ya never know...

Katy and Rihanna will probably overshadow them like before.
