I was VERY bored. After a pretty much diabolical year for major releases and the such the last quarter of 2008 is set to be one of the most explosive in recent years with many established acts and big name stars returning with new albums. The album market in particular has been awful so far this year with only really Duffy and Coldplay achieving decentish sales considering we're 8 months now. I was bored anyway so thought I'd look at some of the big releases on their way. :o

 

September

Pussycat Dolls - Doll Domination

Ne-Yo - Year Of The Gentleman

Metallica - Death Magnetic

Kings Of Leon - Only By The Night

Plain White T's - Big Bad World

Will Young - Let It Go

James Morrison - Songs For You, Truths For Me

 

October

Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul

Keane - Perfect Symmetry

Funeral For A Friend - Memory And Humanity

Kaiser Chiefs - Off With Their Heads

Snow Patrol - One Hundred Million Suns

I know there's been threads already on this but I thought I'd get all the titles together in one and have discussion on who is going to have the best comeback/who'll flop etc.

October

Snow Patrol - One Hundred Million Suns

November

Girls Aloud - 5th Studio Album - Is that really the name of the album? :lol:

Timbaland - Shock Value II

Possibilities:

Kelly Clarkson - TBA - Seeing as Britney has pushed hers back a bit... this is now my MOST anticiapated :w00t:

Loads of realeseas that im really exited about, there havent really been that many fantastic albums this year.

Loads i'm looking forward to too, but i've a feeling some of them will be $h!t.

 

I don't want him to, but i've a feeling James Morrison will flop tbh. But some of those albums will be absolutely MASSIVE methinks. Two big greatest hits albums from Foo Fighters and Stereophonics for one.

Well, basing this all album wise;

September

Pussycat Dolls - Doll Domination- High performance singles, album sales generally low.

Ne-Yo - Year Of The Gentleman- Same as above.

Metallica - Death Magnetic- Huge initial sales (and even bigger on the illegal downloading front)

Kings Of Leon - Only By The Night- Large-ish initial sales. This is where it helps to be bummed by R1 :P

Plain White T's - Big Bad World FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP FLOP, though i loved Hate :(

Will Young - Let It Go Dunno

James Morrison - Songs For You, Truths For Me FLOP! Too mediocre comeback

 

October

Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul Large initial sales, if released around mid November there would be huge sustained sales because it'll be bought for all the middle aged men.

Keane - Perfect Symmetry Dunno

Funeral For A Friend - Memory And Humanity Dunno

Kaiser Chiefs - Off With Their Heads Same way The Feeling's comeback went.

Snow Patrol - One Hundred Million Suns Hopefully huge :D

AC/DC - Black Ice Same way Metallica goes, though i like AC/DC

Leon Jackson - Right Now Cowell will be dissapointing, but 200k+ first week sales nonetheless.

P!nk - Funhouse Hopefully a hit :cheer:

Sugababes - 6th Studio Album Poor album sales :(

Anastacia - Heavy Rotation Flop :mellow:

Bloc Party - Intimacy Not huge on the sales front. -_-

Celine Dion - My Love: Ultimate Collection FLOP!

Jennifer Lopez - Greatest Hits :rofl: FLOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Katie Melua - The Collection Flop

 

November

Dido - Safe Trip Home Not selling nearly as much as the last two

Fall Out Boy - Folie A Deux Flop

Beyonce - Virtuoso Intellect Flop? Maybe? Good on the single sides of things no doubt though.

Girls Aloud - 5th Studio Album Will it beat the sugababes? :thinking:

Timbaland - Shock Value II Flop because of the dead sound.

Christina Aguilera - Best Of Its a best of, i don't have good feelings for best ofs this year.

Foo Fighters - Best Of See Above

The Killers - Day + Age Could go either way.

Stereophonics - A Decade In The Sun: The Best Of

U2 – No Line On The Horizon More sustained sales for dad's christmas pressies.

 

And aren't Guns n Roses meant to be releasing finally :lol:

 

No matter how many albums are released, only a certain amount can be successful. Hopefully some of my favourite acts will wait till next spring.

Britney isn't coming back this year, just to clear that up :P JLo's GH is no longer scheduled for 08 either, and Timbo's sophomore album has been put back to 09 too. I also highly doubt we'll see Kelly Clarkson's comeback this year. However...

 

Pussycat Dolls - Doll Domination

P!nk - Funhouse

Sugababes - 6th Studio Album

Anastacia - Heavy Rotation

Celine Dion - My Love: Ultimate Collection

Dido - Safe Trip Home

Beyonce - Virtuoso Intellect

Girls Aloud - 5th Studio Album

Christina Aguilera - Best Of

 

You missed a few of the list too :o

 

Brandy - Human [Lead single: Right Here (Departed) | Release date: Nov]

Ciara - Fantasy Ride [Lead single: Work (TBC) | Release date: Nov (TBC)]

 

New albums from Anastacia, Beyonce, Brandy, Ciara and Dido is just so huge! Sales will explode, I'm sure.

 

Also The Saturdays' album Taking Back Sunday is out Oct 20th. :kink: Shameless plug alert.

Well, a list of flops in there :P Dunnot wanna buy quite no album from the list :( The few ones looking forward for are:

 

Pussycat Dolls - Doll Domination

P!nk - Funhouse

Dido - Safe Trip Home

 

All the Best Of's and TBA are boring and I even dunnot wanna hear a song until might get popular :P xox.

And if 'We Break The Dawn' is anything to go by, then i will be looking forward to Michelle Williams - Unexpected!

Looking like an EXCELLENT few months, particularly liking October.

 

Anyway,

HITS

- Snow Patrol

- Dido

- Keane

- U2

- Will Young

- Oasis

- Foo Fighters

- Killers

- Timbaland

 

OK-ish but maybe not their not biggest

- Sugababes

- Girls Aloud

- Pink

- Bloc Party

- Kaiser Chiefs

- James Morisson

- Pussycat Dolls

 

Flops

- Anastacia

- Beyonce

- Katie Melua

- Jennifer Lopez

Great last quarter. I'll definitely buy Oasis, Keane, Kaiser Chiefs, Dido, U2 and Snow Patrol. Best get saving!

Edited by Crazy Chris

Oasis,dido,u2,will young will be the big ones

 

keane not really their 2nd album sold no where as near as hopes and fears.

I will definately be getting the following...

 

September

Michael Jackson - King of Pop 3CD

Pussycat Dolls - Doll Domination :cheer:

Will Young - Let It Go

 

October

P!nk - Funhouse :w00t:

Sugababes - 6th Studio Album

Jennifer Lopez - Greatest Hits

 

November

Beyonce - Virtuoso Intellect (not heard of this, but it's Beyonce so i'll be getting it! :yahoo: )

Girls Aloud - 5th Studio Album

Christina Aguilera - Best Of (where this come from??? Has it just been announced?)

The Killers - Day + Age

 

Possibilities:

Jem - TBA

Britney Spears - TBA :dance:

 

Plus with all these DVDs being released (Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, SATC Movie, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Casino Royale, X2008 (which i'm guessing will be out for christmas)) i'm gonna have no money left :D

 

These totally make up for the absolute $h!te year in the way of albums. The only new album I've bought worth mentioning is Madonna. The other albums i've bought are all older albums and Now 70.

Edited by Glyn

looking forward to Dido, Pink and Anastacia. Those I will buy this. i'm a student so I might have to wait for Snow Patrol and the Killers. Hope none of them flop.
Its not the Red Hot Chili Peppers - Its the Red Hot Chilli Pipers

The BuzzJack AF, and their official website and MySpace seem to disagree with you...
