There is a lot of music I am looking forward to. Jennifer Lopez has the only confirmed release date. All other artists are either speculation or have not announced official dates. Rihanna in particular was included on last year’s list. An album did not materialize. This could finally be the year.

Jennifer Lopez This is Me… Now February 16, 2024

Jennifer Lopez finally announced her album This is Me… Now will be coming out in February. The lead single will be coming out in January. This album is a sequel to This is Me…. Then which was released over twenty years ago. This will be Jennifer Lopez’s first album since A.K.A which came out in 2014 which was almost ten years ago. The album was released in June.

Cardi B

Fans have been waiting for Cardi B’s second album for six years now. Her debut album came out in 2018. Cardi B has said it is time for her to finally drop the album. It could be coming sooner than later.

Selena Gomez

Selena has been teasing an album for awhile now. Her last full-length album was Rare which came out in 2020. She did release a Spanish EP in 2021. Selena released a single this past August, Single Soon. It is not expected to be for the album.

Rihanna

Rihanna’s last album Anti came out in 2016. It is now eight years since that album. This could finally be the year that her 9^th album comes out. Rihanna performed at the Superbowl last year where many thought that would lead to the album.

Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa has been teasing her 3^rd album will have a different sound than her prior record. Houdini was released last year and is another hit. It is expected to be on the new album.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift had a monster year in 2023. The big question is how many albums will Taylor Swift put out in 2024. It is expected that Taylor will re-release Repuation this year. There is the question if Taylor will also re-release her debut album Taylor Swift. If both albums come out this year this will mark the end of Taylor’s re-releases. It is expected that Taylor will dominate 2024. Maybe she will put out an original album as well. I was surprised when Midnights was released in the midst of her releasing her re-recordings.

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande’s last album Positions came out in 2020. It has been four years since then and it is the longest gap between albums. Ariana put music on hold while she was filming Wicked where she will be playing GIinda. Ariana has teased that she has been working on her 7^th album and that it will be released sometime this year. It has been suggested that it is completed for the most part.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga’s last album Chromatica was released in 2020. It has been four years since then. Lady Gaga found success with Hold My Hand which was for the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack and her song Bloody Mary from the Born This Way Album. Bloody Mary became popular due to TikTok. Lady Gaga has teased that she is working on a new album.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry also released her last album, Smile in 2020. It has been four years since that album. Katy Perry has teased recently that it was time for her to put out another album.

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber’s last album Justice came out in 2021. It has been three years since then. In the past Justin Bieber was teasing his follow up album. Nothing has been said lately.
