It's a bummer that her streak of #1 albums in the UK is now over. But hey, at least it's still within the top 10. Was expecting much worse based alone on the earlier projections. So this is quite a good thing.

This is a collaborative effort and it's an album of covers, so I don't think it should count as her #1 streak being over. As a soloist, it should just be your solo albums that count. Wikipedia may put it in the same category in her solo discography, but that doesn't mean that's the way we should look at it. I consider TFM to be an album, as do a lot of people, but Wikipedia list it under the EP category, but again, their word isn't law. Her next solo project will be timed to perfection and properly promoted in the UK this time, hopefully sealing another #1. By all accounts, C2C is just a side project. She's never going to have a proper era with it, so I don't think it should be regarded as just another of her studio releases. I'm sure the collab album Pink's doing won't be a big hit either, but it won't be regarded as ending her streak of top ten albums as she's not a duets artist by nature and therefore, only her solo work should be accounted for. I basically think that when it comes to music, it's only an artist's solo work that should count as their achievements or failures. If you're just a feature, it's not your #1, it's the main artist's. Duets balance it out, so it doesn't really count either way. I don't like how rappers have been making Billboard history for the most entries on the top 100 because as rappers, they do a lot of features and every feature counts, even if it's not their song and I think it's ridiculous. Solo tracks should be the only ones that count. And I'm definitely not the only one who believes this. Gaga is not a full time duets artists nor is she a covers artist, so C2C should be handled differently for it goes against everything she normally does.
