From Taylor Swift to Pearl Jam, major artists have confirmed the release of long-awaited albums

Some time ago, basically all artists released one new album per year, or at most every two years, as they did from the Beatles to Pink Floyd. However, musicians have been taking their time for a long time and that’s why it’s a real novelty when they finally announce the release of new songs.

The explanation of current long breaks It is so for several reasons. On the one hand, people of this level need a couple of years to present their new works live around the world, with tours that include Europe, North America, Asia and Latin America.

Moreover, the possibility of releasing singles keeps the connection with the public aliveuntil finally it’s time for the actual album.

There are also artists who confess that it is difficult for them to record an album with a big budget because they know that it has been a long time since they sold so much vinyl and that Profits from streaming platforms (like Spotify) are not attractive. Then they dose the recordings and dedicate more time to live concerts.

A year with many new features

While 2023 was marked by big releases from artists like Taylor Swift (Taylor’s covers of Speak Now AND 1989), Drake (For all dogs and its edition Scary hours), Bad Bunny (Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow), Nicki Minaj. (Pink Friday 2), the rolling stones (Hackney Diamonds) and many others, 2024 is also shaping up to be a strong year.

Albums scheduled for release in the coming months include Everything I thought it wass of Justin Timberlake and more material Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow and many others. Among these there is also the collaboration of three volumes of YES (formerly known as Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures.

And not to mention the great news of Taylor Swift? The pop superstar announced that her eleventh set in the studio, The Department of Tortured Poets, at the same time he accepted the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album Midnight: His lucky thirteenth Grammy would arrive in the middle of spring.

But she wasn’t the only superstar to take advantage of a big stage to announce a new project. Beyoncé revealed during his 2024 Verizon Super Bowl commercial that new music was coming, then announced the album and released two singles in a matter of minutes.

Even though projects are announced with great fanfare, they are sometimes delayed for various reasons, or even announced only a few days before, so it can be difficult to keep track of when artists’ albums will be released.

To make it easier for music lovers, this release calendar features the most anticipated material internationally. The list is organized chronologically by month and week and includes genres like pop, hip-hop, rock, K-pop, Latin, and more.

As far as the local panorama is concerned, there are not many certainties, but everyone takes it for granted that this year the news will finally come out.
