I like this idea of album discussions.
These August, September, January threads were gettin' annoying.

Would separate threads with topics that are generally important be allowed if there was a section for every artist?
I don't really care much about say Beyonce, or Mariah, but that doesn't mean I want to avoid all of their news if I don't feel like looking at an artist's "Official" thread.

Why not just one discussion thread for every new album?
That way, albums that are less popular will probably die and the ones that are popular will stay up. That way, there won't be new and sometimes useless monthly threads every month.
Also, it's better to find information about the album that way. There will be info on the first page from Day 1 of the album to the official release.

I suggest to make another section for artists (that only nods can make) like a musical chairs section and then have a section for albums singles video news that anyone can make
Ex: a rihanna thread (made by a mod)
Then they have the choice to make a piece of news that either relates to the album single or video (onl info of it)

I think they did that sort of kind already but it didn't work out. It was only maintained for a week, if I can remember, and site visits were low.

Okay well then they could do the same thing but just make like...
Rihanna discussion here
Britney Spears discussion here
and inside each let the multiple threads of the same dang thing fly
and it'll still update like a regular thread so people can see when a new post has happened

That's a good idea, maybe that'll help unless people just ignore it

It literally appeared out of no where for me.

That's a good idea and feature you added. It'll hopefully help on cutting down material already posted.

be a good idea for people who keeps repeating the same topic
but yah i think an offical album thread would be cool, but when it becomes months old, it should die down and stuff.

I dont like Mattys idea, I mean the mods dont stan for our fav singers so how would they know when a thread needed to be made. Allowing one thread for every major artist seems like the best idea.

I really don't like the idea of artist threads. It's too much. I think threads are better when they're focused on a topic, like an album, single, movie, photo shoot, whatever. That's why we separated the 'Bionic' and 'Burlesque' discussion yesterday into two different threads. I wouldn't want to have, say, The Official Christina Aguilera Thread.
There are a lot of people who don't get that and try to post about anything-and-everything Christina in the 'Bionic' thread, but I wish they'd break that habit. Lots of content (especially the photos) could be seen by more people if it was posted in its own thread. I'm just using Christina as an example; this happens for a lot of artists.
Now, the problem we had with dedicated areas for every artist is that it was information overload, too many places to find the same info, duplicated again and again. It was a huge and almost immediate flop.

I think this could work well:
In the Games section, the Album Survivor page shows when a survivor should be created and when the reservation expires. I think in Music News there should be a page like that, and the moderators make a chart on the big celebs with upcoming albums and they can write a list of months a monthly thread is allowed to be opened:
This is just a fake example:
Beyonce | First Thread: October 2010 | Final Thread: May 2011
Britney Spears | First Thread: October 2010 | Final Thread: May 2011
Ciara | First Thread: November 2010 | Final Thread: June 2011
Rihanna | First Thread: September 2010 | Final Thread: April 2011

Well its for them to make, the can just put as ATRL-auto-matic or something like that, it's not taking away the stans from putting news from their fav but to organize. Plus they'll be able to post whatever they want inside the Artist thread.
Playing off of Beatfreaks idea, make a thread for an artist that starts 2 months before an artists album releases or make a thread for when the first single releases and then keep it there until a month or two after the album is released. Then no more threads until the next album, unless its stating the new single but it expires after a month.
