Entertainment Weekly has brought out a list of albums. There are some familiar faces in the list and some hugely anticipated ones.

TV on the Radio

After their hugely successful Return to Cookie Mountain, these guys have cemented a brand new sensibility with their music. The follow up album to Cookie Mountain is called Dear Science and will feature some of themes of love and joy from their last album. It will also include their weird ramblings on old fashioned politics.

T.I.

We had already talked about this album some time back. The Atlanta rapper has spent the past doing court ordered community service after a weapons charge. So make sure to get hold of his new album that will be very vocal and honest. It is surely going to be one of his more definitive pieces.

Jennifer Hudson

Finally the Oscar winning actress is coming out with her solo album. Singer Jennifer Hudson who got into the limelight after getting a huge fan following in the American Idol. She will be next seen with Dakota Fanning in Secret Life of Bees and Heavenly Creatures. Her album will be in stores on September 30 th

John Legend

A Kanye West right hand man seems to be ruling the airwaves with his soulful piano renditions. His third album will feature Andre 3000 and Kanye West. His collaboration with Estelle was one of the biggest discoveries of the year. The single American Boy took the chart by storm featuring Kanye West.

Pink

The headline grabbing artist Pink is all set to release her next. The album will feature another set of brash party starters. The first single So What draws a lot from many of the newspaper articles on the artist. Her album is called Fun House and will be releasing on October 28 th.

Bloc Party

The British mad house rockers are all ready for their third album release. The Silent Alarm put them on the map. They are now set to bring in some layered electronic strums to their explosive post punk sound. This time around they will explore heartbreak. It will be out on October 28 th

Fall Out Boy

They are about to scream into our households on November 4 th. The album is titled in French. They had jumped into the scene with a more post punk edgy sound but now have matured something more unique and having being carrying the weight of their individuality. With Election Day drawing near these guys are sure to take their stand with this new album.

David Archuleta

He came in second but he was one of my favorites. He won the final round to make him one of the sure shot American Idol finds. His album will be coming out a week before the American Idol David Cook’s album. There is surely going to be a tussle at the top of the Billboard for those consecutive weeks.

Ludacris

Luda is sure to release his next close to T.I. release. The album will be more of a telling of the fact that his mic skills are still strong. This surely be the album that will make people forget the song he sang for Obama and create an awakening of sorts in the rap world of his craft.

Ciara

She will be dropping her album by December. Her energy is surely infectious with this being her third release. I really can’t wait to dance to her pop/R&B grooves. The album is aptly title Fantasy Ride no pun intended.

Beyonce

Rihanna it is time to wake up. Beyonce is all set to Ring the Alarm with her bombasting tunes and soulful voice renditions. People can’t really wait for what she has in store for her fans. With her marriage with Jay Z becoming official, she is sure to have some really interesting thoughts to add in her new album. This is surely going to be another acclamation to her career.

Nickelback

Their last album got them a spot at the top of the Billboard. But the band seems to be loosing steam after some accomplished albums and singles. I think this is one band that really has to rethink what they have worked on for so long. A face lift is surely needed for them to make a change for their unquestionable fans.

Britney Spears

She has probably in the news for all the wrong reasons. But a comeback seems warranted after a dismal showing of her last album. She really has picked herself up after the recent wins at the Video Awards. She is surely going into reinvention mode this season. The album is title Circus and will feature some plush collaborators like Danja, Max Martin and several others. This is surely one record to look out for.

Kanye West

This scintillating artist is all set drop another bomb of an album soon. His artistry proved was way too much for the critics who lavished praise for his showmanship on his last album. The videos that followed really made for some interesting viewing. One of my favorites was Flashing Lights. The imagery in that song really made the visuals in video sublime. So as always here to show a good time Kanye West will dropping both 808’s and Heartbreak this time around a week before Christmas.
