Pumpkin Spice Lattes are essential to fall, however, so are new albums. This fall is no exception either. Some of today’s biggest artist are releasing huge albums and we can’t wait. What will happen when pop superstars Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato release within a week from each other? Or how about that rumor that Justin Bieber and One Direction are releasing the same week? It’s about to be a crazy ride and let’s take a look what albums will be bumping in your earphones this fall.

October:

Janet Jackson, Unbreakable (October 2nd)

The pop icon is coming back after an 8 year hiatus and will be just as “nasty” as before. We got the first taste of Unbreakable with the lead single, “No Sleeep.” The song was a Billboard Hot 100 hit and also went to the top 20 of Billboards’ Hot R&B songs. All eyes will be on Miss Jackson come October 2nd.

Selena Gomez, Revival (October 9th)

Selena jwants to look “good for you.” At least that’s what she tells us in her smash single “Good For You.” That single, and the new song “Same Old Love,” have us watering at the mouth to see what the pop princess is cooking up.  If the Revival album cover was any indication, Selena’s new songs will be sexy, sexy aaaaand sexy. Like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera before her, Selena is finally ready to make her transition into “adult-pop music.” Will there be a “Toxic” on Revival? We will just have to wait and see!

Demi Lovato, Confident (October 15th)

The bad b**ch is back! With the sassy single “Confident” (album title as well) and the super sexy “Cool For The Summer,” Demi is ready to conquer pop music. Demi stated that she “isn’t afraid to talk about sex” on her new album and that it will be “sexy and fun.” Demi Lovato is a pop star that isn’t afraid to be herself and she has a voice to back it up. Will you be ‘confident’ with Demi on October 15th?

Carrie Underwood, Storyteller (October 23rd)

Carrie Underwood has a story to tell. The country star’s new album Storyteller will sure be filled with songs of motherhood, love, and maybe another “Before He Cheats?” (We can dream right?)  The album’s lead single, “Smoke Break” is already a country smash and is resting pretty in the iTunes top 50 as well.  This album will be the follow up to 2012’s Blown Away and her first since becoming a mother. If you love country, this will be an album for you!

November:

Ellie Goulding, Delirium (November 6th)

With the huge hit, “Love Me Like You Do,” under her belt this year, Ellie Goulding’s Delirum is sure to be huge. The new single “On My Mind” is pure pop that is just as infectious as her first hit single, “Lights.”  This year marks five years of Ellie Goulding being in the industry and what a perfect way to celebrate.  Delirium will feature a total of 23 songs that will sure make fans happy for years and years to come.

Justin Bieber, TBA (November 13th)

The Biebs is back! Yes, the “Baby” crooner is set to make his return to music this November and this is all you need to know: “What Do You Mean,” the lead single, is Justin’s first #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, the album will have a tour to support it, and will be his first since 2012. After a rocky 2014, Bieber needs to show the world he still got… and if the VMA pefromance wasn’t a hint that he does, I don’t know what will.

Adele, TBA (TBD)

Probably the most anticipated album of 2015 and its “apparently” coming out this fall!  GURLS HOLD ON TO YOUR WEAVES, YOUR FAVES AREN’T READY… and that’s all we have to say on that.  

Also being released :

Mayday Parade, Black Lines (October 9th)

5 Seconds of Summer, Sounds Good Feels Good (October 23rd)

Little Mix, Get Weird (November 6th)

One Direction, TBA (TBD)

Ariana Grande, TBA (TBD)
