HIP HOP
Flo Rida
Mail On Sunday
Florida (get it?) artist, Flo Rida's debut album "Mail on Sunday" comes on the wings of one of the most popular hip hop tracks of 2007 -- "Low." Flo Rida released "Low" as a part of a digital EP on June 9 of last year. The track would go on to capture the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 in early '08. Needless to say, Flo Rida has a lot to live up to with his first full-length release.
ROCK
Various Artists
Buzz Cuts
Some of the biggest hits from: Puddle of Mudd, Papa Roach, Crazytown, Hoobastank, Three Doors Down, Simple Plan, Creed and more. This self-proclaimed "kick-a**" compilation will reportedly "take you higher!"
POP
Danity Kane
Welcome to the Dollhouse
A byproduct of MTV's Making the Band 3 -- Danity Kane has already found success in the music world, taking their first full-length album to the #1 position on the charts. Despite media speculation of the group's breakup, the first single off of their forthcoming release, "Welcome to the Dollhouse" has reached #73 on the Billboard Pop charts. So far.
ALTERNATIVE
The Matches
A Band in Hope
Hailing from Oakland, CA, The Matches have acquired a progressively softer sound over the course of their three major releases. "A Band in Hope" strays from the darker sound of their previous release, "Decomposer," and features a more upbeat and relaxed tone (and a less depressing album name).
HARDCORE/METAL
Bury Your Dead
Bury Your Dead
With a new vocalist in tow, Bury Your Dead has refined their sound yet again in their much anticipated third release under Victory Records. The band's previous release "Beauty and the Breakdown" peaked at #129 on the US Billboard charts, and based on the positive feedback already received from their latest release - it's only a matter of time before that number is eclipsed.
