Make a prediction about something that will happen in the upcoming year. This is explanatory, so please use proof to back it up.

My prediction about something that will happen in the upcoming year is that Drake will have a great selling album for the year of 2014-2015. 

I say this because Drake is a very creative artist and his mix tapes including his last three albums made great progress. His official third mix tape So Far Gone had over 2,000 downloads in less than the first two hours it was released & MTV named it " The Hottest Mix Tape of 2009".  Success from his first actual song released "Best I Ever Had" & another single that featured his record label Young Money Entertainment "Every Girl" was both on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and it entered the top ten at positions 3 and 10 very respectively. His first album Thank Me Later was released on June 15th, 2010 and the first week of the album released, it sold 447,000 copies and was positioned at No.1 on the Billboard 200. His first single that he released  from the album "Over" was well-received and performed both commercially and critically & reached a peak of No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Billboard Rap Songs chart.  His second studio album Take Care had featured his single "Marvin's Room"  was certified Gold by the RIAA, considerable airplay on Urban Radio, peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, and reached the top 10 of the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart. His single "Headlines" reached No. 13 on the Hot 100 & was  certified Platinum in the United States and Canada and also his second single released from the album, "Make Me Proud" was commercially successful and reached a peak position of No.9 on the Billboard Hot 100 & also became Drake's fourth consecutive single to receive a Platinum certification by the RIAA. The album also received a Grammy at the 55th Grammy Awards for Best Rap Album. This is why I believe that Drake's upcoming album will make great success in the year of 2014-2015.
