The sprinting

Paula's third album bombed, Katy's went on to have two huge #1s with her third album. And I'm pretty sure Rise is bigger than any post-3rd-album single from Paula.

Madonna and Gaga, the first is a pop legend, the second is a legend in the making, and other music moguls and legends agree

Kesha and Cyndi Lauper:

- Debut album has 4 Top 10 Hits (She's So Unusual, Animal)
- Lead single from Second Album is a #1 (True Colors, We R Who We R)
- Second album has 2 Top 10 Hits (True Colors, Cannibal)
