Oh My God. That gif switch for the Madonna one...I'm still laughing.

Leave Zedd and Rihanna out of this please. It's funny but there is nothing wrong with their careers, they both still have their fans, Zedd's True Colors is a COMPLETE masterpiece. Rihanna is working on her highly ANTIcipated upcoming album and we are dying for it.

But honestly the w8 for ANTI has dramatically decreased Rhenna's overall grossing and interest.

Agreed, it makes me sad that her last album was Unapologetic in 2012. That's longer than the blackout we had with Gaga jumping to BTW-ARTPOP. I can only pray that Rihanna comes through with this album and follows her mind and ignores her team. Such a creative gal

Zedd was on lists of True Colors being a failure this year. It is what it is.

True Colors may not have been a hit on the charts but F the charts, the music is good and the production is iconic.

Addicted to a Memory, Straight into The Fire, Transmission and Daisy are some of his best songs and in my opinion some of the best songs released this year in the EDM scene.

Album flopping doesn't mean that his career is over. His tour is literally a masterpiece and most of the shows are sold out.

This.

ARTPOP was considered a major "flop" yet it had good music and intentions and Gaga's career is nowhere close to being over.

I had hope for rihanna and esspecially Zedd. Rihanna's career isn't dead yet, but if this album doesn't smash, it could be fatal. All of Zedd's material is so similar that its degrading to his overall appeal. Not to mention, he hasn't really been special since 2012-13. Same ole, same old.

He isn't at large venues though, so it's not like his shows can keep him afloat. He'd have a bigger audience opening for other stars.
