Lady Antebellum Announce 747
Set to take flight on September 30th around the world, Lady Antebellum's 6th studio album, 747, comes just a year after the re-release of their 5th studio album Golden, and less than 18 months after the first version of Golden dropped. Preceded by lead off single "Bartender" (one of their most exquisite hits to date), the new album will likely catch huge waves of success (similar to their recent studio releases) and should debut with sales near or above 100,000 copies. Unfortunately, it sees release during a highly competitive month (September). See the album cover and track list just below.
Tracklist
1. Long Stretch of Love
2. Bartender
3. Lie With Me
4. Freestyle
5. Down South
6. One Great Mystery
7. Sounded Good at the Time
8. She Is
9. Damn You Seventeen
10. 747
11. Just a Girl
Jesse McCartney's In Technicolor
McCartney took a different approach while promoting his new album. Unfortunately, that approach (releasing half the album 6 months before the full collection drops) rarely works. While Jesse has had strong performing albums in the past (his first three records debuted between at either #14 or #15), it's unlikely that Techincolor (his 4th release) performs as well. Not only has he somewhat faded in popularity, it has been 6 years since he last dropped an album. Additionally, he is signed to a much smaller label (Eight0Eight instead of Hollywood Records), so sales are likely to plummet. It's a simple equation: faded start quality, a smaller release and no lead off hits equals near disaster. Don't expect much more than 15,000 copies.
In Technicolor has spawned three singles: "Back Together", "Superbad" and "The Other Guy". All have failed to connect with audiences. The album drops into select markets on July 22nd. See the track list below.
Tracklist
1. In Technicolor, Part 1
2. Back Together
3. Young Love
4. Superbad
5. All About Us
6. Checkmate
7. Punch Drunk Recreation
8. Goodie Bag
9. In Technicolor, Part 2
10. Tie the Knot
11. The Other Guy
Colton Dixon Drops Anchor on August 19th
American Idol season 11 alumni Colton Dixon is finally back with another new disc after receiving mixed sales numbers and reception with his debut album A Messanger. The Christian singer returns with a brand new release on August 19th, 18 months since the release of his first album. Supported by just one single ("More of You"), Anchor is poised to be somewhat of a bomb in terms of sales, and will likely miss the Billboard 200 top 10. Still, it should sell well for a Christian album, so this isn't a complete bust. See the full track list and the heavily photoshopped album cover below.
Tracklist
1. S.O.S
2. Our Time Is Now
3. Walk On the Waves
4. Anchor
5. Echo
6. 35.8438, -86.4518
7. More of You
8. Loud and Clear
9. Fool's Gold
10. Dare to Believe
11. Through All of It
12. Limitless
13. Back to Life
14. This Isn't the End
G.R.L's Self Titled Set Dropping Soon
While we have an over abundance of young aged all female bands already, G.R.L has surprisingly placed themselves within the upper reaches of the pack. After starting off 2013 with a few singles here and there, the group releasing "Wild Wild Love" with Pitbull in early 2014. It became a surprise hit on US radio, which led to G.R.L landing on everyone's radar. Now, "Ugly Heart" (the lead single from their debut self titled extended play) is already on US Pop Radio (currently sitting at #48), which leads me to believe that G.R.L's debut EP will become a moderate success. See the track list below.
Track list
1. Ugly Heart
2. Show Me What You Got
3. Rewind
4. Don't Talk About Love
5. Girls Always Right
