Bubbling Under
7. Kelly Clarkson - TBA
Kelly Clarkson has had huge troubles with her label RCA.... well in fact all of RCA's artists are having trouble with RCA, but Kelly's has been the most public out of them all. She was hot, then she flopped, then she had mediocre success, and now no one knows how to get her back to her prime, but surely Kelly can re-create the success of her second album; 'Breakaway'? Whether Kelly will flop or not will be one of the hot topics of 2011.
6. No Doubt - TBA
No Doubt have recently just announced that they would start recording their next album this year as a new years resolution. Fans have been waiting since 2001 to hear the next step that No Doubt will take in their legendary career. They have had numerous hit singles, and never fail to impress the general public with their electric synths, rocky instrumentals, catchy hooks and of course Gwen's amazing vocals. Their success will depend on the genre of the album, music has moved on since 2001.
ATRL's Most Anticipated Albums of 2011
5. Amy Winehouse - TBA
Amy Winehouse released Back to Black 5 years ago in 2006. The album went on to sell 10 million copies, and win numerous Grammy's. Since then she has been in rehab, been through a rough relationship. Her fans are patiently awaiting her potentially legendary return, however after so much ****, one question is on everyone's minds? Has she still got it?
4. Avril Lavigne - Goodbye Lullaby
Although Avril Lavigne has never had a bad selling album, her exit from music for over 4 years has been a concern for everyone, especially her fantastic, super awesome, know-it-all record label RCA (Hey guys, you've never ****ed up a career before have you?). She's had trouble, but after a years battle, she's won her case and has released lead single 'What The Hell'. Avril penned most of the album by herself, and is looking forward to future success on her own merits. One problem though, can she maintain her success in today's modern electro-dominated industry? Only one way to find out, 2011 here we come!
3. Beyonce - TBA
Beyonce; the biggest diva of our time, will return to dominate the U.S. market again in 2011. She wins numerous grammy's, brings in pocket loads for her record label through touring, and gets only the best writer's on her albums. Her return is going to be a sure-fire success, with lots of hit singles. One thing we can expect from miss Knowles is she wont conform to the Kesha/Katy Perry's of today, and will release more of her individual style music. No worries for Beyonce in 2011.
2. Britney Spears - TBA
Britney Spears, definitly a huge album for 2011. Her success has been on the increase since her 'Blackout' attempt. She has hired non-risky producers like Max Martin and Luke as executive producers, but her song-writing team consists of unlikely writers from the UK. Britney will surely bring a few smashes, and club tunes, while also leading the way for all the other dance girls out there. Her albums usually have the most impact on the music industry, and there's no reason why this album will be any different. People will be looking for something different from Miss Spears in 2011, it will be interesting to see if she can bring her game!
1. Lady Gaga - Born This Way
'Born This Way' predictably takes the top spot on our most anticipated list. There have been questions around Lady Gaga's comments on her own album. Yes, we believe some hype is necessary, but too much can often lead to disappointment. However, if Lady Gaga's words have been accurate, then we're in for some amazing work from the star. We'd like to say that she will have the best selling album of the year, and it is likely, but after so much hype we shall see if the other girls can take an opportunity to take her potential crown as the biggest female pop star of 2011. It's probably unlikely, she's Lady Gaga!
