Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar will score at least 4 Grammy nominations each, including at least one general field each. Beyonce and Gaga will either get several nominations, or no more than 2 each.

Unapologetic and Take Me Home will die out in the first half of 2013. The Truth About Love will produce at least 2 more top 10 hits (including JGMAR). Kesha's singles will do well, but her album sales will stay abysmal. RED will be one of the year's top-selling albums; Taylor will have a huge summer hit and will have at least two #1 hits in the calendar year. Cher's album will tank, but she'll have a decently successful single. Ellie Goulding will properly smash.

ARTPOP will be decent, but Beyonce's album will be better. Katy will continue to leave me pressed and unimpressed. Miley's album will do better than Selena's album, but Demi will unfortunately outdo them both. Adele won't release. Leona Lewis will get a moderate hit with "Glass Heart" but the album will flop in the US.

The Band Perry will take over country radio. Carrie has 2-3 more huge country hits from Blown Away. Either Miranda Lambert, Kellie Pickler or Carrie Underwood will get pregnant.

Faith Hill's "comeback" will fail. So will Mariah Carey's.

Beyonce will surpass Madonna to have the most-viewed half-time show ever.

A pop sensation even worse than LMFAO + PSY will emerge.

Taylor is nominated for VOTY at the VMAs. She wins.
Taylor is nominated for Artist of the Year at the AMAs. She wins.

Kelly Clarkson's "People Like Us" will be the "Stronger" of 2013 -- about 2/3 weeks at #1, 3-4 million digital sales

[BLaCKPoWeR]

Both Beyoncé and Gaga will do very well.

Rihanna will get pregnant.

[AndresVanDeKamp]

Mariah will deliver a WBT type hit and lay all the other pop girls down to rest

Thrift Shop will get to #1.

Electropop will gradually fall even further into irrelevencry.

50 Cent and Eminem's albums will under-perform.

Alternative/adult contemporary will continue to get more and more popular.

The pop girls won't dominate. It'll be lesser-known pop/rock bands dominating next year.

I concur.

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.

Rihanna will finish her career, because 'Unapologetic' won't even sell 1.5 million WW, all singles will flop, 'Diamonds' won't even go 2x plat. The tour will be canceled due low sales. Chris will beat her again and go back to his ex girlfriend (Kea?..)

Artpop blows the fame monster outta the water, produces 3 #1s and nears 10 mil ww. Artpop Ball starts Dec 2013

Taylor slays 2013 and earns 3 more Billboard #1s from Red, album nears 8 mil WW

Katy gets her first grammy, and the TD follow up gets the best reviews of her career, Metacritic score in the 70s-80s. However only produces 1 top 5 and 2 top 10 hits and her first flop single since TOY

Kesha makes somewhat a comback, with Cmon going #1 on billboard and other singles top 5. Album sales at about 1.5 mil WW

Miley releases her new album and recieves her first three billboard #1s, her hair "miraculously" grows to about shoulder length at the start of the era.

Hilary Duff will release an album which will be critically acclaimed and adored by fans but not a massive hit.

Dignity 2.0? I can't take.

[Retro]

ARTPOP will be Gaga's best album, but will not reach the success of The Fame Monster. It may outdo the Born This Way era. Her next tour will be her biggest to that date.

Katy will be slightly less successful but release another great pop album with strong sales and better critical reception. She will grow a bit as a touring artist but lose some singles power.

Beyonce will probably be more successful than with 4.

Britney will release an album to great singles success and moderate album sales.

[Lil Misty]

Katy will open with around 250k-300k (hopefully lets pray)
and will have 5 top ten singles, 3 number 1's, her first single will be HUGE., 2nd will be big, 3rd will be like TOTGA, 4th will be HUGE again, 5th will be like TOY but top 10.

Bigger tour, better critical reception (for sure)

[Lucky#17]

1) Gaga: ARTPOP goes #1, will sell around 11M WW in December. She'll also get three US #1s. BIGGEST ARTIST OF THE YEAR + DECADE. HER SLAYAGE WILL RULE THE WORLD.

2) Beyoncé: She'll get a #1 Album + a #1 Single. She'll probably sell 15M WW of her album by the end of the year.

3) Britney Spears: She will be the Carly Rae Jepsen of 2013. One of her singles will DOMINATE for MONTHS. I'll be expecting a #1 Single + #1 Album from her.

4) Katy: Her lead single will go #1. The album will probably debut with 220K WW, though. It'll be enough to get a #1 Album.

5) Rihanna: She probably won't have a #1 Hot 100 single. Her album COULD go #1, but I could see people getting tired of her unless if she does something GROUND-BREAKING.

6) Azealia Banks: She either smashes or flops. It's kinda hard to tell which direction Broke With Expensive Taste will go now. Right now I'm leaning towards: moderately successful.

7) One Direction: Another #1 Album. That's all.

8) Avril Lavigne: Her comeback will be underrated. I don't see her racking up ANY #1s truthfully.

I guess that's it?

[BadKidBrodie]

Gaga - ARTPOP will either match or out-do the success Born This Way had with sales and quality. The lead single will go #1. Remaining singles will become top 10 hits.

Lana - She and Jay-Z will both be on the lead single from The Great Gatesby soundtrack, becoming her first top ten hit in the U.S and Australia. Her third album will be released in November/December.

Rihanna - She will become pregnant to Chris Brown and marry him before she gives birth. Her 8th album will be released in November with the theme of an "8" symbolizing infinite/eternal love.

Britney - Her new album will be a solid pop album, but won't be as successful as Femme Fatale was. However, the singles will do much better. She will also fall pregnant again.

[memi stan]

Miley and Demi will do very well this year!

[Lyzz the Monster]

Beyonce will smash; 3 top 10 singles (including a #1 after the SuperBowl performance), the album will open with around 400K and become one of the best selling albums of the year. However it will not be as critically acclaimed as 4 but she still earns a shitload of Grammy noms.

Lady Gaga will do better singles wise; the lead single breaks multiple records. However her albums sales won't top Born This Way's. She will also tone down her image to be more appealing. She will be engaged to Taylor and take a real break after the ARTPOP tour to settle down. () Finally win a Grammy for Album of the Year with Tony Bennett.

Katy Perry will have another string of smash hits but the era generally won't live up to Teenage Dream, however she will have more respect from critics.

Rihanna will release another album in November 2013, the lead single doing well as usual. There will be a huge relationship scandal with Chris Brown.

Taylor Swift's IKYWT will go #1, Red on track to sell at least 4M and she will also have the top tour of the year. She's likely to break up with Harry before Valentine and date an older musician, hopefully a stable relationship this time.

Britney will get married and release an album late 2013 but there won't be much promo because she will be pregnant again.

Nicki will go back to her old sound but it will be difficult for her to regain people's respect.

Adele will release an album late 2013 and blow everyone out of the water.

Ke$ha will have another or two top 10 but other than that nothing major's happening for her.

[superben]

- Just Give Me A Reason will stay at least 2 weeks at no. 1 and 20 weeks in top 20

-Rihanna will have another chart topper

- fun. wins multiple awards at Grammy

- Artpop will flop

[Crank_It_Up]

So many people thinking Mariah's going to flop.
