Gaga will have two number ones and a top 5 and 10 hit. The album will sell 8,000,000 with a repackage which will sell 1,000,000 as an individual album.
Girls' Generation will have 2 top 5 hits and another one off th same album in 2014 which will sell 2,500,000 worldwide.
I feel like ARTPOP's lead single will be blocked by this, which will be an absolute streaming monster:
Other than that, she'll probably have two top tens (6 and below) and a flop, which will lead to Interscope killing single promotion, and the ARTPOP era will end with sales just short of 2M.
Katy should get at least two number ones on the Hot 100.
Bar any competition, Paramore should also get their first number one album with their self-titled fourth effort.
Beyonce's first single won't be that big but her 2nd single will but none of them will go to #1, her album will go to #1 and will open up with about 300-400k+
Taylor will score another #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with 'I Knew You Were Trouble' as well as going back to #1 with her album 'Red' for a few more weeks at the start of the year with the album selling 4 million by the end of the year in the US alone and having the top tour of the year.
GaGa's first single will reach #2 and will be blocked by someone but will score at least 3 top 10s from the ARTPOP era with the album selling 4-5 million WW.
Katy will come back with a bang in July-August with the first single going to #1 for about 5-6 weeks, having one of the top songs of the year and the album going to #1 opening with 200-300k.
Mariah Carey's new single will only be a moderate hit in the US and will flop WW as well as her album.
Olly Murs will find some success with his single 'Troublemaker' but his album will flop
Britney Spears will be topping the charts once again with her lead single and debut at #1 in the Billboard Hot 100. Her new album will sell 5 Million Copies at the least.
Beyonce will release a documentary about mothering. Her new album will hit an even more mature note than 4 had.
Gaga will release an HBO special. Her junior release will be respectable. Her and Taylor will break up amid rumors of his infidelity.
Katy will release a summer hit, only to be surprised that Summer 2013 is One Direction's. Her album lacks a distinguishing feature her previous works attained.
Honestly, from the mistakes her team made in the FF Era, I think that she will have a huge era in 2013. Oh well, a Britney stan can dream right? I really just hope for the best and 5 Million with Proper promo and with the name "Britney Spears" is VERY possible.
Beyonce will have the biggest hit of her career, her album will outsell '21', her tour will be a smash (over 250m gross), also she will get 2 more film roles, while her first animated movie will hit #1.
'Artpop' will sell 10+ million, at least 5 #1 singles, few more top 10 hits. GaGa will top Forbes again.
Katy Perry will have her first huge WW album, she will have many hits, but not as many #1s as with TD. Generic public and critics will start to take her more seriously. Her album will be acclaimed and 'Wide Awake' will give her a first Grammy.
Britney will slay the charts with 'Scream & Shout', release her lead single in September-October. It will smash too. Her album will have at least 3 times more sales than FF.

Her lead single from her fifth album will benefit from the success of the Super Bowl resulting in a 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It will stay 1 for 2 weeks. The song will be similar to Halo. She will announce a worldwide tour starting in Europe in the summer and in North America in the fall. The ticket sales will be good but not great. She will release a second single just before the release of the full album and that song will be more uptempo. It will be produced by Max Martin and be one of her biggest songs of her career.

The album will debut at number 1 with 225,000. She will promote the album with a few interviews and performances by will seem quiet compared to the Teenage Dream era. This album will shut up the naysayers and prove that she is more than a flash in the pants pop star.
Lady Gaga will release her first single in February. It will be a return to form for her. It will be more Fame Monster than Born This Way. The song will be number one for weeks. The video will be iconic. The album will debut at Number One with just under 1 million in sales in late May. She will be on every TV show and each performance will be amazing. She will be the number one pop star for the year.
Rihanna will have a more stripped down tour that will showcase her voice more than her performance. It will be be a huge hit with her fans. She will release a few more singles from her new album. 2 of them will be Number One hits. The others will be in the Top 10. She will not release a new studio album this year.
