The year of 2016 faces a grave challenge when it comes to the world of music.
Just consider the way 2015 ended:
Adele released a new album. One Direction released a new album. Justin Bieber released a new album.
Heck, are these even any artists remaining to release new albums over the next 12 months?
Yes, there most definitely are.
Just next month, for instance, we have a new album from Kanye West to look forward to.
We’ll also get to enjoy new music from Lil Wayne… Pusha T… Tegan and Sara… Katy Perry… a solo Zayn Malik… and even Britney Spears.
Oh, yes, folks: 2016 will mark the return of Britney Spears in a recording studio.
Take that, last year! Not so special now, are you?
Of all these upcoming acts and albums, however, which has us most excited?
Which musician will have us buzzing in 2016 and who is most likely to be taking home a sack full of Grammy Awards next year?
There are many exciting options from which to choose.
But here’s a look 16 stars coming out with 16 albums in 2016, along with the order in which we’re psyched to hear them.
