What do you expect for these albums and eras:

Rihanna "Anti"
Lady Gaga "LG5"
Katy Perry "KP4"

(you can speak of other records but please discuss your expectations for at least one of the three albums above)

Rihanna "Anti" - don't know
Lady Gaga "LG5" - groundbreaking tunes
Ariana "A3" - don't know
Katy Perry "KP4" - semi-groundbreaking tunes
Beyonce "B6" - garbage
Brit "B9" - semi-groundbreaking tunes
Adele "25" - semi-groundbreaking garbage

i expect that they'll all suck

Maybe 100k first week 😂😂😂

Rihanna "Anti" : Universal Acclaim+1 Grammy+1 Medium Hit
Lady Gaga "LG5" : 2 Medium Hits/GP Appeal/Groundbreaking tunes/Critical Acclaim
Katy Perry "KP4" : Artistic Maturity+Commerciality+1 Grammy

This, just like last time.

I think anti and KP's album will bomb, LG might recover snce she had her share of slops

LG5 could be interesting. I think it'll be an improvement on ARTPOP. I expect Anti to be a try hard mess. KP4 will be the usual.

ANTi is probably going to be my favourite release of the year, and much of its art will be lost between stans and fans alike once the predictions, debut album sales, competition i.e. vs BEYONCÉ, etc threads are posted on this forum. I still hold hope that there are some Navy that I will be able to enjoy the album with (I won't name names in case they disappoint me).

It's the album I'm most excited for. I love everything Rihanna's released and shown us so far. It's so ****ing epic.

ANTi - 2015's ARTPOP
LG5 - A pop innovation with acclaim and a successful lead and follow up single
KP4 - Taylor Nation will get her

KP4 - 12 Grammy nominations, 8 wins

All below 500k WW except LG5 which will go diamond

ANTI - Rih's most experimental album to date, the singles won't be commercially successful, Rih's "Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz" teas
LG5 - Back to her roots, sounds similar to The Fame, old Gaga is back, regaining many younger fans
KP4 - Same old generic pop songs, with quality similar to PRISM, will be the most successful out of the 3 (Anti, LG5), hoping she'd create an awesome album like OOTB again

ANTi - 500k US, 1.2M WW
KP4 - 700k US, 1M WW
LG5 - 29x platinum, the modern thriller

ANTi - Bigger album sales, less single sales, more acclaim

KP4 - finally a serious record?

LG5 - her most commercial album since TF

KP4: her downfall era.. with 2 top 15s and artpop #s
Anti: #1 lead single loud 2.0 era with massive sales and 200k+ first week cuz the gp is thirsty for new rih

LG5: her coadf era with 1.2m artpop albums ww
