Q1 apparently. We’re sort of beyond caring at this point but that all depends on the first single.

Florence ‘+’ The Machine
It’s already over two years since ‘Ceremonials’ came out, so Florence could do with pulling her finger out. (A recent thing in Q magazine said she’d been working with MNEK.)

Jennifer Lopez
There will be an album in 2014.
Quote:
Lady Gaga
Gaga’s already been talking up a second instalment of ‘ARTPOP’. Strangely, we’re already more excited about this second set of songs than we were about the first. Maybe it’s because the last time Gaga added an extra album to an existing release it was ‘The Fame Monster’ which as we all know is one of the best albums of the modern pop era.

Lana Del Rey
Once she’s finished ****ing around with all this short film nonsense we’ll be expecting a single from Lana in the spring, then a second single into the album during the autumn. This is based on complete guesswork but if you’ve got this far into the list we assume you’re no stranger to the world of speculation.

Marina & The Diamonds
Marina’s second album was the best of 2012 and her third could be the best of 2014.
they know the real tea
Quote:
Rihanna
The Eminem collaboration meant that Rihanna didn’t completely let us down in Q4, but there should have been an album. Could she have one out in the spring, or will she wait until the winter? And when it does come, will it be a Greatest Hits or a full album? Look we don’t know, we’re just listing artist names and waffling a bit.

Shakira
In 2013 we’ve all spent so long moaning about Beyoncé’s tardiness that most of us forgot that another Proper Global Superstar must also be on the verge of releasing an album. This one’s been a long time coming but we’re really excited. We’re not sure of an album release date, but the first single is coming far sooner than you’re probably expecting.
Adam Lambert
Adele

(Bonnie McKee tho she was snubbed)
Cher Lloyd

2014 already sounds insane.
Gaga + Tay + Adam all releasing in the same year.
Lea Michele's soon-to-be-legendary debut.
Nicki Minaj
The last album was a bit confusing so we’re crossing our fingers for a 2014 release that’s either Proper Rap or Proper Pop (followed eight months later by an album that’s either Proper Pop or Proper Rap).

It will be nice to hear a ballad from this lot.
