Well, I'm too lazy to list a full rate for all of them, but my top three consists of "Showdown", "Toxic", and "Breathe On Me".

Yeah, and I've been stanning for 3 years.

I still think it's probably my second least favorite, just because it's difficult for me to get into more urban/R&B-influence pop music, whereas things like Femme Fatale, Blackout, and her second 2 albums are very easy for me to enjoy. But hey, I like it now!

[B-Luke]

Can we be 100% sure that all those high expected albums really get released before or after Britney? I mean it's all so messy and unpredictable, we have no info about anyone, neither Beyoncé nor Gaga or Rihanna. I wonder if they all wanna come up with a surprise announcement shortly before their new era begins or the new album is out. Then it'd be a real pity if Brit's album already scheduled in the exact time of the other one's album and tbh, that's a damn high risk this year as we clearly know who's releasing. And it's unfortunately a competition. If she wants another FF promo-disaster then I beg her to release in the first quater of 2014, nonetheless it would be disappointing and she just can't afford that one more time, although I'm afraid her team will bide and watch other releases which could push the album in the wrong quater again. November's too risky cause I can imagine Rih or Gags there, even Bey. September or October could be a quite solid decision and VMA's take place in August/September so appropriate time to promote. Also, since we know she's recording since last summer I don't think it's a rush release and there are still some months to go. I really hope she uses them and keeps on looking like a hot milf.

Even if the album sells poorly, at least it goes no. 1 + she extends her records.

This. Unless the opening week settles between BOMT and FF opening sales

Nope. Gaga's a wildcard release, she's given literally no information assuming the Spring 2013 date is pushed back because of injury. If I recall correctly, Rihanna may not even be releasing a new album this year. Regardless, September feels like it would be best for Britney.

[Aleks]

I don't think Gaga, Beyonce or Rihanna would actually schedule their albums to go head-to-head with Britney, because it's not going to be easy for them, especially for the last two. Releasing October would be perfect as I've already said and with a bit more promo and discounts she can still benefit a lot from Black Friday and Christmas sales.

[Aleks]

I'm thinking summer is probably going to be the most release-heavy. Artpop is rumoured to be released at that time, also Katy Perry, Eminem are apparently releasing during the summer. I'd think Beyonce as well. Rihanna is not even certain to be releasing again this year, I'm thinking she might finally take that break.

Rihanna, if she schedules, will schedule for Black Friday week no matter who releases then. Beyonce would likely not schedule with Britney, you're right - it would be very hard for her to come out ahead. Gaga is questionable, but I think she's going to go for an easy week to make the gap between her and the #2 that week as big as possible.

So, Rihanna is on tour from March-October do you think she will actually come out with a full 8th album. I'd hope for a 5th and 6th single...even a re-release.
Beyonce is going on tour in April...I can't see her releasing in November/December. I'd say September like B'day
Gaga is finalizing her album. I couldn't see her finalizing her album just to release in November.

As much as I want her to release in September it is looking clear that it won't be released until November/December.
I say this 2.0 version of JT record might or might not be a threat. I wouldn't release the week after his album though.
I think a #1 album is achievable especially if released on December 2, 2013.
The main thing is to get those sales as close to platinum by the end of the year so that she can have another platinum plus sales mark.

Wow, people really expect Rihanna, Beyonce, Gaga, Katy and Britney to release at the same time

[Aleks]

Releasing December wouldn't be smart, the same thing is going to happen as with Circus. Great sales for the first month, then the drought in January and the album is completely dead, since she is not going to promote it after that most probably.

It could potentially happen, especially with Black Friday week if the labels want their big stars to pull some huge numbers in the holiday season, since some are likely incapable of crossing Gold if they release in the early parts of next year. Some stars I really wonder how they would sell if they didn't release during fall every single time.

I wouldn't be sure about that ,

In Beyonce's case "Circus" oppened higher than "IASF" , but then "4" oppened higher than "Femme Fatale", so it would be interesting if they release on the same week, they would be battling for that #1 it would be a pretty even battle, however, its not usual to see these kind of releases , I'm sure Bey's label and Brit's label would not put in risk a #1 debut by scheduling their albums on a same week, so its not happening.

In Gaga's case Gaga wouldn't care, she is on her peak days, (well ending her peak days) so she would have stronger sales, but once again its not possible I'm 100% sure Britney's team would never release an album on the same week of Gaga.

In Rihanna's case , trust me Rihanna's label / team would never release an album on the same week of Britney, they know they would loose that #1 , extending her lack of #1s history. So not possible.

[coddiecollins]

im sure that this time around they ( britney and her team ) will be smart .... it already seems that they r doin something ... covers she will guest in hangover ( as fas as we know ) so all these cant be for nothing

Chris said something about some new songs he's currently writing for her so there's a possibility that she throws another rushed record out to the mass by the end of the year but there were also some rumours she'd take a break and all that stuff. That's what it makes so unpredictable at that time but we'll see what's up with her not later than summer. I go with all the other artists. Eminem's probably doing a similar thing as Recovery and Katy Perry most likely will do the same as with TD. Artpop's still a mystery. I guess summer is too close for her to start and if I watch her latest pictures she doesn't looks fit at all. Britney looks at her best since years, she should remain like that till the album's out with the promo machine already being activated at this point.

Of course I do. Look at the recording sessions of Talk That Talk. She recorded most of her songs backstage of her tour stops or at the tour bus (which Gaga also did with Born This Way) so this won't prevent them from recording at all. And as we know Rih is quite a workaholic. However I still hope she finally milks the **** out of one of her albums, otherwise it's poorly wasted stuff.
As I said, we can't say what Gaga will do, that operation pushed her condition way back.
JT could be a risk for her and could possibly snatch her the #1-spot away but since it's a 2.0-release I don't really know what's actually up with this.
Her birthday as a release date is giving me Circus teas and could be more riskless than November but if she releases in September she would've also gain those platinum sales doesn't she?

Sales DO matter - I hate when people say that.

And Britney's body is already better than it was during the entire Femme Fatale era. She'll be perfect by the Fall.

Spring 2014 would be disastrous -- she needs to release this Fall.

MTE.

I wouldn't even mind if she released in fall of 2014 tbh.
