My ideal scenario (beyond everything smashing etc.):
- ARTPOP does ok (3/4ish million in the end). DWUW becomes a big hit and Gypsy continues non-flashy, but respectable era success. Sexxx Dreams ends the campaign with a moderate, but talked about hit.
- Cheek to Cheek wins back critics and gives her positive press. "Despite everything, Gaga is still one of the most talented popstars and we'd like to see more of this".
- Tours CtC with Tony for 20 dates or so.
- Collaborates with Jay Z on his upcoming album for a GP-popular urban smash.
- ARTPOP 2 comes out in August with major collabs, hitmakers and a very slick strategy. No messing around.
- ARTPOP 1+2 tour begins alongside AP2 to aid international exposure.
- Terry X Gaga film becomes YouTube feature and HBO special with a few cinematic screenings in NY/LA/LDN.
Bonus:
- Film GYPSY with Barbra Streisand at some point.
- Host VMAs? Could be interesting.
- Somehow get involved with the Tony Awards with a tribute performance or something to impress the older gays.

For me:
-DWUW becomes the biggest radio hit of her career and a 3 million seller. Top 5 Hot 100 peak, hopefully Top 3. Video drops early December. She rides out the single until February 2014.
-Gypsy released as 3rd official WW single from ARTPOP. DWUW/Gypsy medley performed at the Grammys. Video released week after the Grammy performance. She rides out this single until May 2014.
-G.U.Y. released as 4th official WW single from ARTPOP. Debut performance at the Billboard awards. Video the week after the Billboard Awards performances. This is her summer 2014 single until August.
-ARTPOP, Vol 2 1st single in mid-September. She doesn't pre-hype it at all and announces it out of nowhere. She announces ARTPOP Vol 2 comes out in November 2014.
-Vol 2 has many high-profile surprise collaborations: JAY Z, Drake, Rihanna, Jhene Aiko, Justin Timberlake.
-Producers on Vol 2: DJ White Shadow, Zedd, Stargate, Flux Pavilion, Madeon, Hit-Boy, Space Cowboy, Audrey Napoleon.
