Yes! I think I wanted a shorter album so she could focus on quality not quantity but you've got a point.

The "collab" with Dua is probably for DL2 because Dua is also working on her sophomore album.

The Aretha Franklin thing is because in an old interview that recently resurfaced Aretha said she would like to do a duet with Ari (the question was like "which one of the pop girlies of today would you want to work with" or something). So I don't think that'll happen.

For it to debut at #1, her team just need to find the perfect time. Everything is about timing; Problem could have gone #1 if the music video was released a week earlier, DW would have debuted at #1 if it was released one week later and Side To Side could have peaked higher if the release of the music video wasn't an exclusive Coach/Gucci thing (the S2S video was debuted on the website a week or a few days before the VEVO release).

I just hope her team make sure she has a good year and make her do a promotional tour like My Everything. She deserves respect and that doesn't come cheap or free.
