Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey

Whitney has got the weight of the world's expectations on her shoulders though - we know it will be 10% of the vocal quality that is expected from her, but I'm still hoping for the best!

Mariah needs to either write stuff like the 90s, or do another TEOM!

The ones I'm most looking forward to:

Manic Street Preachers - Journal For Plague Lovers
It will be nice to hear some of Richey's lyrics again after all these years...

The Enemy - Music For The People
I know this one's already been released, but I haven't bought it yet...

Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown

I wouldnt waste your money on the MSPs new album if I were you.


It certainly ain't much cop...

- Black Sabbath with Dio (Heaven And Hell) - Came out on Tuesday, haven't bought it yet
- Iron Maiden
- Megadeth
- Muse
- Ozzy Osbourne

Looking like one of the best years in music for a long time.

AFI and Placebo are both coming out with something this summer. Plus IAMX are releasing their album next month. Looking forward to Muse as well, here's for hoping something pre Black Holes and Revelations era.

Green days will be worth it
And apparently avril lavignes in september

Maiden won't be releasing an album this year, but they are in the studio next January so hopefully next year. Wonder which direction they will go this time as the last album had an anti-war feel to it.

The veronicas - Hook me up album (fantastic australian group)

and Valeriya - Out of control (fantastic famous singer from russia).

both these albums come out in may i think i recommend both of them.

Mariah Carey (Possibly)
Alexandra Burke
Erykah Badu (Possibly)
Mary J Blige
Amy Winehouse (Possibly)

Im looking forward to Sonic youths new album, and Placebo's singles so far have sounded great.

Lostprophets, Muse, Green Day, 30 Seconds to Mars, Taking Back Sunday, Paramore..

yep looking forward to the following:

Mika - flukey first album or more to offer?

Gossip - Can they deliver a tune to match standing in the way of control?

Leona - Xenomenia and timbaland ...sounds interesting mix...hopefully this will be her music box ?

Little Boots, Florence and the machine - hype? or well deserved praise?

Madonna - Greatest Hits....how is she going to sell herself after such a bad year with the public but high on the success of a big tour? New Tracks? Hopefully more confessions than sticky and sweet....and she should definetly include POP!

Christina Aguilera.... I loved the new versions and new tracks on the greatest hits...hope that her new sound will be electronic dance ...she could beat britney at her own game?

Tori Amos - Abnormally Addicted To Sin..... hopefully as good as ADP.

^^ Yep Christina is workingo n a more dance vibe. She is working with the likes of Ladytron and SIA plus Goldfrapp :rumoured:

I can't wait either way, she has been on hiatus for too long!!

I don't think RHCP are going to release anything until 2010 the earliest

I read somewhere that the Ting Tings are planning a release by the end of the year hopefully.

The new Basement Jaxx song, 'raindrops' is a.m.a.z.i.n.g- check it out

Oh yeah and REALLY excited for Florence and the Machine's album!

Three that spring to mind for me are:

Natalie Imbruglia
Nelly Furtado
Manic Street Preachers

Two maybes are "Arctic Monkeys" and hopefully "The Strokes" please

Regina Spektor

and Little Boots and La Roux aswell so exited for those!

I can't wait for Leona's new album.

And of course, Alexandra Burke's.....Diana Vickers's.....JLS's.....and Ruth Lorenzo's.

*likes X Factor incase you didn't notice*

I'm really looking forward to new stuff from Muse and the Manic Street Preachers (though the Manics' album is online already, I refuse to listen to it ).
I was looking forward to Green Day's too... until I heard the new single. I'm hoping the rest of the album is better than that, I don't like it at all.

They put their new song onto their MySpace and it's very average. It sounds like it could comfortably fit on their last album, which is a bad thing because there's no progression. It has nothing on Standing In The Way Of Control.

I'm looking forward to Voltaic by Björk. It's partly leaked and looks great (it's a DVD and live CD pack).

I'm also looking forward to the new Maximo Park album, but the ne single is not that great so I don't know what to expect.

The Bleach Works
Harper Mak
Diana Vickers

Looks like Finntroll are close to completion.
