But she has yet to steal anyone's thunder

The most anticipation I've seen for this outside of ATRL has been a couple gheys posting about it on Twitter.
I'm sure she'll deliver strong first week single sales, do well on pop radio, sparsely promote the album at like 2-3 different places, deliver another 2 moderate hit singles, and end up with less than 1 Million albums sold in the US... Not exactly slaying the lessers.
