USA Today fall/winter most anticipated albums
Quote:

Haters gonna hate, but Taylor Swift — and her album 1989 — is 2014's biggest success story, with the new material selling 1.287 million copies in its first seven days. The Shake It Off singer continues to dominate the music news cycle weeks after the album's release, but plenty of other worthy contenders have huge releases stacked up over the next few months. USA TODAY's music team reviews the big names who have releases this fall and winter.

One Direction - Four (Nov. 17)
The British vocal group is back with its fourth album in as many years, and the first single, Steal My Girl, is currently at No. 17 on USA TODAY's top-40 airplay chart. If other already-released tracks (Fireproof, Ready to Run and Where Do Broken Hearts Go) and the album's second single, Night Changes, are any indication, the group that had the world's top-selling album in 2013 may have another winner on its hands. — Brian Mansfield
Nickelback
No Fixed Address (Nov. 17)
David Guetta
Listen (Nov. 24)
AC/DC
Rock or Bust (Dec. 2)
Lil Wayne
Tha Carter V (Part I) (Dec. 9)
Wu-Tang Clan
A Better Tomorrow (Dec. 2)
Nicki Minaj - The Pinkprint (Dec. 15)
It's been more than two years since the hip-hop provocateur put out a new album (2012's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded), but that hasn't stopped Nicki Minaj from pervading pop culture, whether she was judging American Idol in a short-lived stint or hopping on a remix of Beyoncé's Flawless that all but crashed the Internet. Her Pinkprint (a play on Jay Z's Blueprint) campaign was set into motion in May with slow-burning first single Pills N Potions, but bounced to new heights in August with her bonkers ode-to-booty Anaconda and powerhouse pairing Bang Bang with Jessie J and Ariana Grande, both of which jiggled into the top 5 on Billboard's Hot 100. Now exerting her dominance on new song Only with Drake, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown, Nicki has made it abundantly clear that she isn't messing around. — Patrick Ryan
Charli XCX - Sucker (Dec. 16)
The singer first turned heads in the States as co-writer of Icona Pop earworm I Love It, but it wasn't until this summer that Charli XCX (short for "Kiss Charli Kiss") did a number of her own on pop radio. Not only did she channel Gwen Stefani on the chorus of Iggy Azalea's inescapable song-of-summer, Fancy, but the 22-year-old fashioned a smash of her own with the stomping Boom Clap, a cut off The Fault in Our Stars' soundtrack that peaked at No. 8 on Billboard's Hot 100. And with new single Break the Rules climbing USA TODAY's top-40 airplay chart (hitting No. 29 this week), the young Brit has procured a remarkable batting average going in to her sophomore record (following last year's debut True Romance). — Ryan
Meghan Trainor - Title (Jan. 13)
The major-label debut for the 20-year-old Nashville-by-way-of-Nantucket singer/songwriter promises more of the doo-wop-meets-hip-hop sound that made breakthrough All About that Bass one of 2014's biggest hits. A multi-million-selling track that spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, All About that Bass has been viewed about a quarter-billion times on YouTube and has spawned almost that many essays on its positive portrayal of body image. Trainor recorded the album near Nashville with producer Kevin Kadish after bonding over a shared love of late-'50s/early-'60s pop and R&B. The quick chart rise of follow-up single Lips Are Moving suggests there's more to the witty, plainspoken Trainor than just her bass. — Mansfield
