Remember when people thought Taylor was going to snatch Katy's Hot 100 record?
That record is untouchable for female singers in this generation. I feel like Adele could've got four #1 singles with Turning Tables but her stupid team had to release RHI. RHI is nice for rock radio but

Gaga stans dragging Queendonna when Gagz turns 56 I'm gonna see if she keeps selling as much as Madge now doing pop albums. I see Gaga doing Barbra streisan kind of albums when she turns older.
I doubt she'll have another huge drop - it's not uncommon for them to leave the current #1 or #2 out of the predictions for next week, especially if they focus on the new debuts. The bundles will help her for this week and next, I'm guessing.

Unfortunately I see that coming not too far from now. Bitch could deliver more of TFM but instead she's aiming for the geriatric crowd.
