Lady Gaga
The "Born This Way" diva has big plans for her fourth album, ARTPOP, including two separate volumes, a documentary film and a "multimedia app." It will debut in spring 2013.
Azealia Banks
The potty-mouthed rapper will follow up her mixtape Fantasea with her first album, Broke With Expensive Taste, due Feb. 12. She recently tweeted that the music is "Trap, but it's Rave. it's Banjee, But still a lil classy."
Justin Bieber
Biebs previous said that he had enough new music for two albums: last summer's Believe and an impending Believe 2.0, with the recently leaked "Make You Believe" as a possible single.
The Wanted
One of the U.K.'s hottest boy bands will release their third studio album, Third Strike, in March, featuring hits "Chasing the Sun" and "I Found You." Lindsay Lohan will be first in line to buy it.
Selena Gomez & The Scene
The actress will return to the music scene in March with the band's fourth album. Her dream collaborators? Best friend Taylor Swift and rockers fun.
Nicki Minaj
The newest American Idol judge will follow up her Re-Up release with a new album in 2013 (so she says). The album, which very likely may be called Pink Friday: The Pinkprint, will favor rap to pop songs.
Mariah Carey
The other new American Idol judge will release her 14th album sometime in 2013 (possibly March?). Here's hoping the end product is better than her ho-hum first single, "Triumphant (Get 'Em)."
Beyoncé
Queen B is practically guaranteed to release some new tracks before her impending Super Bowl show. She's back in the studio already, and at least one collaboration (with R&B heartthrob Miguel) has been confirmed.
Katy Perry
The Candy Queen is about to take a bite of black licorice, as her in-development fourth album—which reteams her with songwriter Bonnie McKee ("Teenage Dream," "California Gurls")—is rumored to be quite dark.
Cher
The "Half-Breed" songstress will release a dance-heavy album in March, her 26th album and first in decade. "Woman's World" is the first single, and Lady Gaga is set as a collaborator.
50 Cent
Fiddy's long-awaited fifth album, Street King Immortal, will hit stores on Feb. 26 and is set to be a star-studded affair: The first single alone, "My Life," features Eminem and Adam Levine.
Tim McGraw
Faith Hill's husband will release his 12th album, Two Lanes of Freedom, on Feb. 5. Among the country tracks set to appear: the punny "Truck Yeah" and the tepidly received "One of Those Nights."
U2
Bono fans should "certainly expect" a new album in 2013 (so says manager Paul McGuinness). But they may want to expect a new sound, too, as rumored collaborators include Danger Mouse and will.i.am.
Miley Cyrus
New haircut, new album! So it is for the "Can't Be Tamed" singer, who will release a "very adult" album in the new year. Her leather looks of late will accompany a "dirty-South vibe" (her words) with songs by Pharrell Williams.
Lea Michele
Rachel Berry (she of Glee fame) will leave the show tunes behind for her first mainstream album, which she's currently hard at work on. She'll be assisted by Top 40 heavyweights Bonnie McKee and Sia.
