There is going to be a lot of music in 2025. Some albums are long awaited and have been on these type of lists for several years now. Most albums do not have concrete dates and for a handful of artists it’s not known if albums will be released this year. Looking at you Rihanna, Cardi B, and Selena Gomez.

The Weeknd Hurry Up Tomorrow January 24^th, 2025

This is supposed to be the final album under “The Weeknd.” After this, The Weeknd will be going by his real name Abel Tesfaye. Not much is known about the album other than it will be the conclusion of a trilogy of albums that includes After Hours and Dawn FM. Dancing In the Flames and Timeless featuring Playboi Carti are the lead singles for the album. The Weeknd also released the song Sao Paulo which features Anitta. It is expected that will be on the album as well. There will also be a movie starring The Weeknd that is supposed to serve as a companion piece to the album. Not much is known about that either other than it stars Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan as well and it will be released in theaters this year.

Cardi B

Cardi B has been on this list twice already. Every year she keeps saying her second album will be released. Maybe the third time is the charm. At this point it would be surprising if any past singles wind up on the album.

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez has also been on this list twice already. She has been busy lately between getting engaged to Benny Blanco and her acting career. She did spend a good portion of last year recording for her album. There is the chance it is ready. Hopefully this will be the year it finally sees the light of day.

Lady Gaga

LG7 which is not the actual title of the album, is on its way. Lady Gaga has said her album will be out this year. Disease and Die With A Smile featuring Bruno Mars will be on the album. Lady Gaga has said that the album has a mix of styles.

Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars has made his return to dominance on the chart. Besides being on Die With A Smile with Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars also hopped on Rose’s song APT.  Both songs have hit the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. Bruno Mars is gearing up for the launch of his fourth album. It is about time. It will mark 9 years since his last solo album. He did release a joint album with Anderson .Paak under the name Silk Sonic in 2020.

Rihanna

Rihanna will release R9 eventually. She said it has to be perfect. Whenever it happens, it will probably be a smash hit, and she will have chart dominance once again. At this rate, she may end up calling the album R9 since that is what the fans have been referring it to since her last album.

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber has not talked much about music lately. He has been busy with other things. He did say awhile back that he was releasing an album. It did not come out in 2024, so here’s looking at 2025.

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande hinted after releasing Eternal Sunshine that she had already recorded music for her next album. With Ariana, anything is possible. 2025 could be another year of Ariana Grande between music and Wicked: For Good.

Kesha

Kesha is getting ready to release her first album after fulfilling her contract with her record label. She is officially a free woman, and this album will be released from a different label. Joyride and Delusional were released last year and are expected to be on her 7^th album.
