Mariah Carey and 50 Cent going to flop.
Azealia get a maybe to me.
Beyonce. Drake,Eminem, Lady Gaga and maybe Shakira going to be sccessful.
Maxwell also coming out with an album that year.
Except 50 Cent, and Possibly Mariah,i don't think any of them will flop
Shakira might flop in the US, but she will still be big WW, Azealia's album is really anticipated so there's a chance
others will not flop and that's for sure.
I don't know why everyone says Shakira .. she sells more worldwide than anyone on that list except Eminem .. (yeah sometimes even more than Lady Gaga - you little monsters can suck on that) .. Just because her songs aren't on repeat in the US like all the other artist doesn't mean she sucks. This list is completely redundant, these artist are all different so they appeal to different people.
I hope they all find some success, I don't want to see any of them flop.
But as long as they deliver good music, I could care less about the charts/sales.
50 Cent was the biggest artist of 2003 AND 2005 basically. Who cares if he flops? He's accomplished more than anybody else in the poll (apart from Beyonce, Eminem and Mariah (and Shakira because of her worldwide success, but 50 Cent was global too at his prime)).
He's got Eminem and Adam from Maroon 5 on his next single. Gonna chart above bubbling under, that's for sure (that sounds pathetic, but it's an accomplishment for a hip hop song).
