There is going to be a lot of music in 2025. Some albums are long awaited and have been on these type of lists for several years now. Most albums do not have concrete dates and for a handful of artists it’s not known if albums will be released this year. Looking at you Rihanna, Cardi B, and Selena Gomez.

The Weeknd Hurry Up Tomorrow January 24^th, 2025

This is supposed to be the final album under “The Weeknd.” After this, The Weeknd will be going by his real name Abel Tesfaye. Not much is known about the album other than it will be the conclusion of a trilogy of albums that includes After Hours and Dawn FM. Dancing In the Flames and Timeless featuring Playboi Carti are the lead singles for the album. The Weeknd also released the song Sao Paulo which features Anitta. It is expected that will be on the album as well. There will also be a movie starring The Weeknd that is supposed to serve as a companion piece to the album. Not much is known about that either other than it stars Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan as well and it will be released in theaters this year.

Cardi B

Cardi B has been on this list twice already. Every year she keeps saying her second album will be released. Maybe the third time is the charm. At this point it would be surprising if any past singles wind up on the album.

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez has also been on this list twice already. She has been busy lately between getting engaged to Benny Blanco and her acting career. She did spend a good portion of last year recording for her album. There is the chance it is ready. Hopefully this will be the year it finally sees the light of day.

Lady Gaga

LG7 which is not the actual title of the album, is on its way. Lady Gaga has said her album will be out this year. Disease and Die With A Smile featuring Bruno Mars will be on the album. Lady Gaga has said that the album has a mix of styles.

Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars has made his return to dominance on the chart. Besides being on Die With A Smile with Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars also hopped on Rose’s song APT.  Both songs have hit the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. Bruno Mars is gearing up for the launch of his fourth album. It is about time. It will mark 9 years since his last solo album. He did release a joint album with Anderson .Paak under the name Silk Sonic in 2020.

Rihanna

Rihanna will release R9 eventually. She said it has to be perfect. Whenever it happens, it will probably be a smash hit, and she will have chart dominance once again. At this rate, she may end up calling the album R9 since that is what the fans have been referring it to since her last album.

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber has not talked much about music lately. He has been busy with other things. He did say awhile back that he was releasing an album. It did not come out in 2024, so here’s looking at 2025.

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande hinted after releasing Eternal Sunshine that she had already recorded music for her next album. With Ariana, anything is possible. 2025 could be another year of Ariana Grande between music and Wicked: For Good.

Kesha

Kesha is getting ready to release her first album after fulfilling her contract with her record label. She is officially a free woman, and this album will be released from a different label. Joyride and Delusional were released last year and are expected to be on her 7^th album.

2024 is wrapping up. There was a lot of music that was released this past year. There were some solid albums this year including Taylor Swift, Shakira, Dua Lipa, Imagine Dragons, Justin Timberlake, and Jennifer Lopez. I only had one favorite album that was released this year.

Ariana Grande Eternal Sunshine

Eternal Sunshine marked the return of Ariana Grande after a four-year absence from music. It did not disappoint. She scored two number ones with lead single, Yes And? & We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love). Her third and final single was The Boy is Mine which wound up being its own thing and not a cover or remake of the Brandy and Monica collaboration. Her album also debuted at number 1, and We Can’t Be Friends is still played on radio to this day. It was the biggest hit off the album. The album as a whole is great and is a good length. It’s not too long. Every track is solid and fits the album well. It’s an album worth listening to from start to finish.

Ariana Grande’s seventh album Eternal Sunshine was released in March and has already spawned two number 1’s with lead single yes, and? and we can’t be friends (wait for your love). The third and current single is The Boy is Mine. So far, The Boy is Mine has not gotten a lot of radio airplay the same way We Can’t Be Friends has been getting. It’s still early, so there is a chance The Boy is Mine could eventually rise to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The Boy is Mine is currently at number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated July 27^th, 2024. Time will tell if the song grows and gets radio airplay. It could be a slow burn. Whether The Boy is Mine becomes another number 1 or not, the question remains if Ariana Grande will stop at single 3 or if she will keep going with additional singles. Eternal Sunshine is Ariana Grande’s first album in four years. Her last album Positions came out in 2020. Eternal Sunshine has been well received by critics and fans. There is potential for her to keep going with singles. Dangerous Woman is the last album to have four singles. Ariana’s last three albums all spawned three singles. That seemed to be her choice. Thank You, Next in particular probably could have had more hit singles if she kept going.

What other songs could potentially be hit singles if Ariana Grande keeps going? Supernatural and Bye could find success on radio. They both seem to be the next popular songs after the three recent singles. Both songs are radio friendly enough. Bye could do well on the chart and on radio. It may not hit number 1, but it could have a nice healthy lifespan. Supernatural could also find success on radio and on the Billboard chart. The question is if Supernatural were to be a single, would it be the original cut of the song from the album or the remixed version that features Troye Sivan. The Boy is Mine just released a remix with Brandy and Monica, but the official single is the album version. Yes And? also got a remix with Mariah Carey but it was the original version that charted and was played on radio. Supernatural could hit the top ten and could potentially hit number 1 as well. Those two songs seem to be the best bet to find success if Ariana Grande wants to keep going with singles. She could also pick other songs as the next singles as well. She could pick the title track Eternal Sunshine if she wanted. That has the possibility of doing well. True Story also could do well on radio. Really, Ariana Grande could pick whatever she wants, or she could stop at single 3 with The Boy is Mine and call it a day. This fall will see the release of the movie Wicked Part 1 which she is starring in. She will have that to focus on. She already said she has been working on new music, so an eighth album could end up being released next year. Whatever Ariana Grande decides to do, 2024 is a good year for her.

Ed Sheeran’s second album X also known as Multiply was released on June 23, 2014. It was massively successful following his debut album that had the breakout hit The A Team. X spawned four hit singles. Sing was the lead single and peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. Don’t followed and was equally successful. Sing and Don’t were more up tempo songs and a different sound for Ed Sheeran. It also incorporated hip hop.  Thinking Out Loud was a massive hit and became a go to song at weddings. Thinking Out Loud is a love ballad and is considered a classic out of Ed Sheeran’s catalogue. Photograph was the final single off the album and was a midtempo ballad.  

Thinking Out Loud peaked at number 2, lasting on the Billboard Hot 100 for fifty-eight weeks. Don’t peaked at number 9 and lasted for thirty-six weeks. Photograph peaked at number 10 and lasted for thirty weeks. Sing peaked at number 13 and lasted on the chart for twenty weeks.

X as a whole is a solid album and has a variety of styles. Ed Sheeran’s bread and butter is tender ballads. The A Team was a huge hit from his debut album. Lego House was a midtempo song. Sing was a lot different than what the audience knew from Ed Sheeran at the time. Sing was a different kind of song for Ed Sheeran. It did well on radio and paved the way for Don’t which was an even bigger hit. Don’t also was a nastier song with lyrics such as “Don’t with my love.” It has also been stated in the past that the actual lyrics were meant to be Don’t F**K with my love. Thinking Out Loud was a massive hit and is a tender love song ballad. It is one of Ed Sheeran’s longest charting songs. It also dominated radio. Photograph was decently played on radio but not to the degree as the other songs. That might have also just been for z100. Besides the singles, X has a lot of good songs. It is surprising that Bloodstream was never a single. Bloodstream is a dark song which Ed Sheeran performed at the Billboard Music Awards.

Ed Sheeran has had quite a successful career up to this point. X really started to take things to the next level paving the way for his later success including more monster hits and his first number one with Shape of You on the following album. Perfect, another love song that is heavily played at weddings, also went number one. Ed Sheeran has shown he is multifaceted and a one-man band. It will be interesting to see where Ed Sheeran goes next on his musical journey.

A.K.A. was released on June 17^th, 2014. It followed Jennifer Lopez’s comeback album Love? which spawned the top 10 Hot 100 hit On the Floor with Pitbull. It also followed Jennifer Lopez’s greatest hits album which had the hit single Dance Again also with Pitbull. A.K.A. was the last album until recently where Jennifer Lopez finally released a new album in February of this year. A.K.A spawned the hit single First Love as well as Booty and I Luh Yu Papi. First Love got some radio airplay and peaked at number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100. It lasted three weeks. Booty gained success with its remix that featured Iggy Azalea who was big at the time. Iggy Azalea was featured on Ariana Grande’s hit song Problem. Iggy Azalea also had her own hits with the singles Fancy with Charli XCX and Black Widow with Rita Ora. The original album version of Booty features Pitbull which marked the fourth time he had collaborated with Jennifer Lopez for her music. She also had been featured on some of his songs as well. The Booty Remix gained popularity. It peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and lasted nine weeks on the chart. Booty was widely ignored by radio. I Luh Ya Papi peaked at 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 and lasted two weeks. The song features French Montana. It was also widely ignored by radio. A.K.A. peeked at number 8 on the Billboard 200 Albums Charts and lasted six weeks on the chart. It is one of Jennifer Lopez’s lowest selling albums.

Jennifere Lopez has had a long and interesting career in music. She has had dozens of hit albums and hit songs and several number 1’s. She also has been doing music while juggling a movie career. A.K.A. came at an interesting time for Jennifer Lopez. Several veteran artists were struggling with chart dominance compared to newer artists. A.K.A was not that successful compared to past albums. Love? was the music comeback for Jennifer Lopez when On the Floor dominated radio and was a top 10 hit. It peaked at number 3. The album before that, Brave bombed and spawned one hit single Do it Well which faltered fast. What helped with Jennifer Lopez’s comeback was her turn as a judge on American Idol. She did seasons 10 and 11. She was absent from season 12 and then returned for seasons 13, 14, and the final season from FOX season 15.

Britney Spears faced a similar thing the year prior with her album Britney Jean which didn’t do as well as other albums. It also followed Femme Fatale that spawned four hit singles and a number 1 in Hold it Against Me. Something else both artists have in common is that A.K.A. is largely written by Jennifer Lopez. Britney Jean was also largely written by Britney Spears. Both artists have not always written their own music. Jennifer Lopez did not really write many of the songs on her album Love?. Most of her hit songs, with the exception of a few, are not written by her.

A.K.A. the album definitely fit the times that it was released in. It is a mix of dance and hip hop. A.K.A. has a dozen features which consist of all rappers. Even with a heavy focus on hip hop and dance beats there is enough variety for the album to not sound the same. There are several ballads throughout the album. Let it Be Me and Emotions are both beautiful ballads. It shows Jennifer Lopez’s strengths vocally. First Love is a good upbeat song, and it is a little surprising it didn’t do better on the chart and on the radio. It also made sense to a degree as well. One thing that was shocking was that the Booty remix with Iggy Azalea didn’t blow up to become another top 10 hit. What was more shocking was that it was widely ignored from radio. Iggy Azalea was hot at the time especially on top 40 radio. I was surprised Z100 didn’t at least give the song a chance. Booty is a fun silly song. It could have been a much bigger hit. There have been other silly songs that have been huge hits. Baby Got Back by Sir Mix A-Lot is one example. I Luh Yu Papi is a good chill song and French Montana fits in well. It has a good vibe. I am also not surprised it did not really blow up. It is still a good song, but I never really saw the song dominating radio. Beyond the attempted singles, A.K.A. has a lot of good songs and as an album as a whole, is a solid album in J-Lo’s catalogue. The title track may not make much sense, but it is a good introduction to the album. The song also features T.I. and I am surprised there was not an attempt to make the song a single. It could have done decently. It may not have hit number 1, but it could have had a decent shelf life if given a chance. Another song that stands out on the album is Acting Like That which features Iggy Azalea. The song is hypnotic and is a good blend of both of their styles. If that was put out as a single, it could have dominated and been another hit for both artists. Never Satisfied is another solid ballad that is a little more upbeat than Let it Be Me and Emotions. Worry No More with Rick Ross is another good mix of hip hop and pop. There seems to be a level of fun on the album. There are songs that are serious and then there are songs that are silly, and it seems that Jennifer Lopez is in on the whole thing. She knows when to be serious and when to have fun.

A.K.A. is a solid and fun album that holds well ten years later. Maybe if it had been released now, it would have done better. Either way it still gives fans more songs to enjoy and add to their Jennifer Lopez playlist. I also think it is a strong album that Jennifer Lopez wrote, and it should be something she should be proud of. She also wrote her current album This is Me…Now which is a whole different beast. A.K.A. is currently the last album to spawn any hit singles that had charted. Several one-off singles after the album have charted. Currently none of the songs from This is Me…Now have charted. A.K.A. is a good album to revisit, especially for the summer.

Shakira’s fourth English album Shakira was released on March 21^st, 2014. It debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart. It spawned the hit singles Can’t Remember to Forget You with Rihanna and Empire. Dare (La La La) was another single.

Can’t Remember to Forget You with Rihanna was the lead single off the album and did decently. It charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and got a fair amount of radio airplay. Empire was the second single and did decently on the Billboard Hot 100 and got a decent amount of radio airplay as well. It seemed that Can’t Remember to Forget You did a little better on radio and had a slightly longer shelf life on the Billboard Chart. Dare (La La La) was the third single from the album. It didn’t last long on the Billboard chart, and it was widely ignored on the radio.

Shakira, the album as a whole is a strong album. It has a mix of different styles. Dare (La La La) is a dance song while Empire is rock based. Medicine with Blake Shelton is Shakira’s first full blown country song. I am a little surprised that some of the songs were not bigger hits. Can’t Remember to Forget You is one of the best songs from Shakira’s catalogue as well as one of the best collaborations. Shakira and Rihanna were a great pair for the song, and I felt and still feel the song could have been a lot bigger. I really could have seen Can’t Remember to Forget You hitting number 1. Shakira did perform the song at several events however she has yet to perform the song with Rihanna. If both artists had performed the song at some point that may have helped catapult the song to number 1. Empire is a strong rock song. It is not as surprising the song didn’t have a bigger shelf life only because by that point a lot of the songs that were dominating radio and the chart were dance and pop songs as well as hip hop. Rock was not getting played much on mainstream radio other than the Rock stations and it was not really dominating the charts either. Dare (La La La) is a fun dance song. The deep cuts are just as good. Medicine is a good team up with Blake Shelton and a good country song. It doesn’t feel forced. Shakira’s song Cut Me Deep with Magic! is a catchy song as well and they make a good pair. They blend well together. You Don’t Care About Me is an explosive song that really resonates. It has lyrics like “You don’t care if I die, if you did you would have spared my life.” It is still one of my favorite songs from Shakira to this day.

Currently Shakira is the fourth and last English album. Shakira has released another album since which was a Spanish album. That was released in 2017. She is getting ready to release a new album in the coming days. That is also a Spanish album. It is not known if Shakira will ever release another English album. If she does that would be great. If not, she has four strong English albums and Shakira is just as strong if not better than her previous albums.

There is a lot of music I am looking forward to. Jennifer Lopez has the only confirmed release date. All other artists are either speculation or have not announced official dates. Rihanna in particular was included on last year’s list. An album did not materialize. This could finally be the year.

Jennifer Lopez This is Me… Now February 16, 2024

Jennifer Lopez finally announced her album This is Me… Now will be coming out in February. The lead single will be coming out in January. This album is a sequel to This is Me…. Then which was released over twenty years ago. This will be Jennifer Lopez’s first album since A.K.A which came out in 2014 which was almost ten years ago. The album was released in June.

Cardi B

Fans have been waiting for Cardi B’s second album for six years now. Her debut album came out in 2018. Cardi B has said it is time for her to finally drop the album. It could be coming sooner than later.

Selena Gomez

Selena has been teasing an album for awhile now. Her last full-length album was Rare which came out in 2020. She did release a Spanish EP in 2021. Selena released a single this past August, Single Soon. It is not expected to be for the album.

Rihanna

Rihanna’s last album Anti came out in 2016. It is now eight years since that album. This could finally be the year that her 9^th album comes out. Rihanna performed at the Superbowl last year where many thought that would lead to the album.

Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa has been teasing her 3^rd album will have a different sound than her prior record. Houdini was released last year and is another hit. It is expected to be on the new album.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift had a monster year in 2023. The big question is how many albums will Taylor Swift put out in 2024. It is expected that Taylor will re-release Repuation this year. There is the question if Taylor will also re-release her debut album Taylor Swift. If both albums come out this year this will mark the end of Taylor’s re-releases. It is expected that Taylor will dominate 2024. Maybe she will put out an original album as well. I was surprised when Midnights was released in the midst of her releasing her re-recordings.

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande’s last album Positions came out in 2020. It has been four years since then and it is the longest gap between albums. Ariana put music on hold while she was filming Wicked where she will be playing GIinda. Ariana has teased that she has been working on her 7^th album and that it will be released sometime this year. It has been suggested that it is completed for the most part.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga’s last album Chromatica was released in 2020. It has been four years since then. Lady Gaga found success with Hold My Hand which was for the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack and her song Bloody Mary from the Born This Way Album. Bloody Mary became popular due to TikTok. Lady Gaga has teased that she is working on a new album.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry also released her last album, Smile in 2020. It has been four years since that album. Katy Perry has teased recently that it was time for her to put out another album.

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber’s last album Justice came out in 2021. It has been three years since then. In the past Justin Bieber was teasing his follow up album. Nothing has been said lately.

Justin Timberlake

Besides working on music for the Trolls soundtracks, Justin Timberlake has been teasing for a while that he is working on a proper album. His last album Man in the Woods was released in 2018.

2023 is coming to an end. Here are my favorite albums that came out this year.

Miley Cyrus Endless Summer Vacation

Endless Summer Vacation was a huge hit for Miley and one of her best albums. Miley Cyrus has had different eras, and some have been hit or miss. Endless Summer Vacation took her to the next level proving that Miley Cyrus is a star. Flowers was Miley’s second number one since Wrecking Ball topped the chart ten years ago. Flowers dominated radio and the charts. Endless Summer Vacation as a whole is a great album and has tons of great songs from start to finish including Jaded which was another single, Rose Colored Lenses, You, and so many others. Used To Be Young was released in August and was tacked on to the digital album. This is one of Miley Cyrus’ best albums and this will surely be a classic album for many years to come.

Barbie The Album

The Barbie Soundtrack had it all. The movie was a smash hit, but the soundtrack was equally successful. Dua Lipa’s song Dance the Night captures the essence of the movie perfectly. It is also a classic dance song from Dua Lipa. The other tracks all fit well. Ryan Gosling’s I’m Just Ken is epic and fun. Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice do a great rendition of Barbie World which samples from the classic song by Aqua. It was very appropriate to get Nicki Minaj to do a track for the soundtrack. Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For? is a beautiful track that fits within Bilie Eilish’s wheelhouse as well as the movie. The soundtrack does a great job getting an eclectic group of artists including Lizzo, Charlie XCX, Ava Max, Dominick Fike, Sam Smith, Khalid, Gayle, and many more. 

Metro Boomin Presents Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Soundtrack

Metro Boomin produced the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Soundtrack and did a fantastic job. This soundtrack is different than the soundtrack for Into the Spider-Verse which had the smash hit Sunflower by Post Malone and Swae Lee. The soundtrack for Across the Spider-Verse is much more cohesive and each song really captures the scenes they are featured in throughout the movie. Every track is great but two stand outs for me are Am I Dreaming with ASAP Rocky and Roisee and Self Love with Coi Leray. All the tracks are great, and they all fit the movie very well. It is probably one of the best soundtracks of all time.

Kesha Gag Order

Gag Order is a unique album. When listening to it, it is obvious it is not a commercial album. Some tracks could have been radio singles, but it is not surprising that wasn’t the case. However, this is one of Kesha’s best albums. After everything Kesha has been through, this album seemed to embody where she is at this point in her life. The tracks still fit what Kesha has been known for but there is a maturity with this album that the others did not necessarily have. Every album had some party songs similar to Tik Tok. This album does not have any party songs. Rainbow was probably the only other album that did not have a lot of party songs. Every track is great and there is some variety on the album. Something to Believe In is dark and epic, Eat the Acid is haunting, Living in My Head captures the title well, Only Love Can Save Us Now is probably the only song that comes closest to past tracks. There is a singing talking style that was heavily on prior albums but the song itself is different than others. All of the songs fit the theme for what Kesha is going for. It is a shame Gag Order did not find the same success as previous albums, but Kesha is now free to do what she wants as this album seems to have fulfilled her contract with her original label.

Circus was released on December 2^nd, 2008, and was a smash hit. It followed Britney’s prior album Blackout which was released the previous year. Circus was a huge hit, hitting number 1 on the Billboard 200 and spawning 4 hit singles. The album quickly went platinum in the US and has sold over 4 million albums worldwide. Womanizer became Britney Spears’ second number 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100. Baby One More Time was her first song to hit number 1. Circus hit the top 10 while If You Seek Amy hit the top 20. Radar was the final single off the album and peaked at number 88.

Circus has a lot of great tracks. The album as a whole is a solid Britney Spears album. Womanizer was deemed as Britney’s comeback. It had an explosive music video, and the song went on to the top of the chart. Circus is a fun and explosive song as well. If You Seek Amy is a fun song. Radar, which was originally featured on the album Blackout, is a good solid song as well. Even though the Circus album is predominantly dance, there is some variety on the album. Out From Under is a midtempo ballad that has dance vibes. Unusual You is similar and a little heartbreaking while My Baby is the only true ballad. Kill the Lights is both dark and hypnotic. It feels like a sequel to the tone of Blackout. Shattered Glass is also catchy and hypnotic. Blur is a really catchy song and hypnotic in its own right. Mmm Papi, Mannequin, and Lace and Leather are fun songs.

Circus is one of Britney’s strong albums. The whole album is filled with great tracks. Britney has gone on to have an iconic catalogue of music over her career. Womanizer is one of Britney’s best songs in her whole catalogue. It will be interesting to see where Briteny’s career goes next especially after everything, she has been through over the years. She has said that she will take a break from music for now. Maybe one day she will return to music, and I look forward to seeing what she will do next.

ARTPOP was released on November 6^th, 2013. It followed the massive album Born This Way which went on to spawn five hit singles at the time. Since then, Bloody Mary found a new life after being featured in TickTock videos becoming the sixth hit single off of Born This Way. ARTPOP is known as Lady Gaga’s less successful album. It found success but not in the same way as the previous albums did.

ARTPOP spawned three singles. Applause was the lead single and peaked in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. The controversial song Do What You Want was the second single and featured R. Kelly. It peaked in the top 20. Do What You want was the last single to find some success of ARTPOP. It did not rank as high as Applause. Do What You want has been removed from the album due to controversies surrounding R. Kelly that happened a few years after the album was released. There is a version of the song with Christina Aguilera that is available. G.U.Y. was the third official single. It did not have a long life on the chart and did not get much radio airplay if any.

For years ARTPOP has been considered ahead of its time. If it had come out now, would it have been more successful? It’s possible. ARTPOP is predominantly a dance album but its more theatrical and experimental in sound compared to The Fame, The Fame Monster, and Born This Way. ARTPOP came out at an interesting time. It was released the same year as Katy Perry’s album Prism, Britney Spears’ album Britney Jean which came out a month later, and the transition year for Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Demi Lovato. 2013 was also dominated by Pharell’s song Happy and Daft Punk’s song Get Lucky which also featured Pharell. Music that was dominating the radio was changing. Katy Perry and Britney Spears albums had mixed success level compared to their earlier works as well. By this point Lady Gaga had a dozen hit songs from her previous albums. Applause was still a big hit from ARTPOP. It was her only substantial hit from the album.

ARTPOP as a whole is a solid album. There could have been other songs that could have gone on to do well. ARTPOP showcases many different sides to Lady Gaga. Manicure is more of a pop rock song while Dope is another raw ballad. Both songs could have done well if they were singles. The title track ARTPOP is a good song that really captures what the album is about. Swine is both nasty and experimental when paying attention to the lyrics which include “You’re just a pig inside a human body.” Some of the songs are silly and fun such as Fashion and Donatella. Venus and Sexx Dreams also fit the bill of both silly and fun and weird.

ARTPOP really has a little bit of everything. It is true Lady Gaga. For years there have been talks of an ARTPOP 2. Who knows if that will happen? If it does, I would be very curious to see what it sounds like and how it would do this time around. Also, one of the things that was rumored years ago was plans for a sequel to Telephone with Beyonce. If that ever were to happen or did happen, maybe it would turn up on ARTPOP 2. Regardless, Lady Gaga has had a successful career and ARTPOP is a highly underrated album that deserves more appreciation.
