What could be more exciting than your favorite artist dropping new music? Absolutely nothing. Here are 20 artists with the most anticipated albums of 2024.

With the release of the first single, "Yes, And?" off of her upcoming seventh album, Eternal Sunshine, fans are excited to see what else Ariana has up her sleeve. Or chiffon gloves.

Dua Lipa

After her hit "Dance the Night" on the Barbie soundtrack last year, the release of her single "Houdini," and debuting yet another new song, "Training Season," at the Grammy Awards, Dua Lipa is on fire. If the new album is anything like her last two, we're all in for a treat.

Bleachers' fourth album, Bleachers, will be released early next month. Since fans were expecting it a couple years ago, they have waited long enough!

Billie Eilish

As another artist who had a hit song ("What Was I Made For?") on the Barbie soundtrack, Billie Eilish has had a busy year. We've heard through the grapevine that Billie is almost done with her new album, so we can only hope to be able to hear it this year.

Jennifer Lopez

Ten years after the release of JLo's last album, A.K.A., comes her ninth album, This Is Me... Now. It's basically Pt. 2 of This Is Me... Then (2002) and another love letter to Ben Affleck.

Sheryl Crow

Sheryl Crow surprised everyone when she announced that she was releasing a new album since we thought we may never get another after Threads (2019). While I hope it isn't the case, her twelfth album, Evolution, could very well be her last album.

Beyoncé

Beyoncé's seventh album, Renaissance (2022), was life-altering, which is what we can expect from Renaissance Act II. After "16 Carriages" and "Texas Hold 'Em" dropped during this year's Super Bowl, we're more than ready for it.

SZA's Lana is so much more than a reissue of her second albumIt's practically a new album with new material, and SOS (2022) is an added bonus. Bring on the new music!

The Black Keys

Who doesn't like The Black Keys? Their twelfth album, Ohio Players, is due to be released in April. If their two singles, "Beautiful People (Stay High)" and "I Forgot to Be Your Lover," are any indication, it is sure to be a great addition to any Black Keys fan's collection.

Haim

So, there's no album release date yet, but here's what we do know: the Haim sisters were working on their fourth album early last year and had been touring with Taylor Swift on The Eras Tour, so it could be any day now, right? It's been nearly four years since Women in Music Pt. III, so it's time!

 
Justin Timberlake

It's been a minute since we've heard new music from Justin Timberlake, with the exception of his first song with NSYNC in 20 years, "Better Place," and his new collaboration with Timbaland and Nelly on "Keep Going Up." Everything I Thought It Was  is due to be released on March 15. Until then, I'll keep listening to "Selfish" on repeat. And maybe Britney Spears' version while I'm at it.

Selena Gomez

We know a new album is right around the corner for Selena Gomez, with the release of "Single Soon" back in August and a new song called "Love On" dropping on February 22. It's just a matter of time!

 
Megan Thee Stallion

A new Megan Thee Stallion album and a tour are coming! After the release of her single "Cobra" late last year and her diss track "Hiss," the people are ready.

Wet Leg

Sipa USA

Wet Leg took the world by storm with their hit "Chaise Longue" in 2021, and their debut album won a Grammy Award last year. So when does the second album drop? The band supposedly finished it back in 2022 but seemed to be working on making it longer, so the answer is hopefully soon.

Maggie Rogers

Maggie Rogers recently announced that her third album, Don't Forget Me, will be released in April. With the lead single of the same name setting the tone, it's surely going to be a great album.

Lil Nas X

I'm always excited to see what Lil Nas X does next. Although there isn't a set date for the album, it was said to be nearly complete back in 2022, and he's had plenty of singles since Montero (2021) to make up at least half of an album.

Maya Hawke

We have a date and a title! Maya Hawke's third album, Chaos Angel, is set to be released at the end of May. Until then, you can listen to her latest single, "Missing Out," as many times as your heart desires.

Cardi B

Yes, it's happening. Cardi B confirmed last year that she'd be releasing a new album in 2024. With how hard she's worked over the past few years, it's hard to believe she hasn't had another album since Invasion of Privacy (2018).

Taylor Swift

Yet another Taylor Swift album! Her upcoming eleventh album, The Tortured Poets Department, will be here before we know it. Brace yourselves, Swifties.

Listen, I know we've been waiting for years since Anti (2016), but sources say Rihanna has plenty of material and is planning a world tour for 2024-2025, so it has to be soon, right? Right?!
