#5. “Born To Die – The Paradise Edition”

Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey will be re-releasing her debut album “Born To Die” as a deluxe edition on November 14, 2012. What’s not to love about this poetic artist? She’s not only beautiful, but captures audiences with her dreamy voice. The first released song from this new album is “Ride.” The music video for this single is a ten-minute long cinematic journey narrated by the mesmerizing Del Rey.

#4. “Unapologetic”

Rihanna

If you have listened to the radio at all in the last couple weeks, chance are you’ve heard Rihanna’s latest single “Diamonds.” This is the first single from her “Unapologetic” album set to be released November 19, 2012. This is Rih Rih’s seventh studio album, and based on her latest single, this album will have a slightly different feel – but I’m sure the Rihanna Navy will adore it.

#3. “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded- The Re-up”

Nicki Minaj

Wow, what a mouthful! This re-release is part two of the “Roman Reloaded” album and will be released November 19, 2012. The album will feature a more rough and tough Nicki that resembles her “mix-tape” days. The first single released is “The Boys” featuring Cassie, a fun song with verses that leave you to assume “Roman” wreaked havoc on some poor, unfortunate soul. Minaj has a lot on her plate these days with her new job hosting American Idol, the Roman Reloaded tour, her new fragrance, a new series on E!, and to top it off – a new album!

#2. “Warrior”

Ke$ha

Where have you been, Ke$ha? It’s been two years since Ke$ha has released an album…we’ve been waiting. Get ready to get sleazy December 4, 2012, when this much anticipated album drops! Her first single from the album, “Die Young” was released September 25 and was well received by her “Animals.”

#1. “ART POP”

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga has been busy with her “Born This Way” tour and her U.S. “Monsters” are getting impatient. Her album “ART POP” is supposed to be released early in 2013 and is rumored to be more like the style of her early disco dance pop. However, she hasn’t completely left her fans in the dark. In addition to the tour, this year Gaga released her two-year-long project the “Fame” fragrance, created her own social media website LittleMonsters.com and has been giving her fans musical teasers, such as a rap song called “Cake Like Gaga.” Whatever this creative artists releases, there’s no doubt her Monsters will be behind it 100 percent.
