Quote:
*Lush Life will peak in the Spring months. Never Forget You will take off after. Zara will become a girl to watch out for as she gets older, but this is all just setting up the foundation. She will become a hitmaker. MOSTLY FALSE
*Adele will see hits with When We Were Young, Send My Love & Water Under the Bridge. 25 will easily be the topselling album of 2016. TRUE
*Drake will release Views in January & will smash once again. He'll get several hits from the album. Hotline Bling will be included in the tracklist. MOSTLY TRUE
*Britney will release, but will not get hits. It will basically be Britney Jean again. The album will primarily promote the new leg of her Vegas run. TRUE
*Gaga will have an OKAY comeback. Her album sales will go back up because she's gained older fans, but her first week sales will not increase. Her singles will struggle because she's not a streaming force, but she may get an Applause/DWUW-sized hit or two. That's about what's she's capable of nowadays, imo. MOSTLY TRUE
*Katy will also get a hit or 2, but it will not compare to the PRISM era. I expect a lot of negativity regarding her "decline". Katy vs Taylor will be strong as ever. HALF TRUE
*Lorde will have a hit era again that's huge on streaming. She'll really become a force to be reckoned with. FALSE
*Meghan will also increase her popularity & continue building an AC/pop audience. Her sophomore album will be different than Title & even more commercial/modern. It will remain light & cheery, though. HALF TRUE
*Kendrick will win AOTY & it will be a big deal. He will be regarded as rap's next legend. FALSE
*CL will struggle to take off. I expect many delays on the release. TRUE
*Iggy will flop & it become taboo to play her new music anywhere. No matter what she does, she'll be ripped to shreds by social media. TRUE
*All My Friends will be a #1 & expose Tinashe & Chance to a new audience. Tinashe will have a very good year with multiple hits & an acclaimed album. Her network will increase & her talent will be noticed. Whispers will continue about why the heck Chance isn't releasing an official album, but he may finally decide to do so in Q3/4. FALSE
*Troye will not happen outside of YT. TRUE
*Bryson will become an urban radio regular. TRUE
*Out of the Woods will be a so-so hit that will take 1989 era into Grammy season, but it will miss the Top 10. Possible Grammy performance to try to save its peak. It will be the final single & then Taylor will take a break. MOSTLY TRUE
*Azealia will eventually get a random hit, but it may not be this year. N/A
*5H will go with Worth It & do more urban/pop bops for the clubs. TRUE
*1D will be a non-factor this year, but Harry & Zayn will both try hard to get solo careers. Zayn will get a Top 10 or two with mediocre longevity... not sure about Harry. Harry may not end up releasing until 2017. TRUE
*The Moonlight era will do okay. Her #s will continue to underwhelm, but streaming will be amazing. Her label will try to rebound from Focus with You'll Be Alright. She'll get 2/3 Top 10 hits. Honestly, it could more or less by ME2.0 MOSTLY TRUE
*Bey will release 1st Q & the sales will be nice, but not as much as the surprise release. Her large fanbase will really drive the sales. Pop radio will hesitate with her once again, but her main focus now is urban. Expect more turn-ups like 7/11. However, Runnin was an indication that she will also go after that sound as well. They'll be a nice mix. HALF TRUE
*Anti does so-so, but doesn't flop. Released in January so it's the hell out. She gets 1/2 hits. She records R9 quickly & releases it in November. Her management will shake-up. FALSE
*No Broken Hearts will be a top 20. FALSE
*Love Yourself will pretty much dominate late Winter/early Spring. After which he will not get a hit quite that big. He will release I'll Show You & The Feeling to decent, but not amazing, success. HALF TRUE
