Gaga should go top ten. The only major wildcard for both Roar and Applause is their streaming. It's kinda hard to pinpoint that seeing this is the first time that both artists have released during the new rules. We really don't know how much of their lyric/audio video views will be from the US.

The entire Top 10 has strong streaming and radio sales though.  I honestly won't be that shocked if Gaga misses the Top 10.
