Someone at Stereogum apparently ran out of Netflix over their holiday break and put together a list of the 101 most anticipated albums of 2021. Some of these are confirmed happening with release dates and everything (Drake), and some of these seem more like wishful thinking (Rihanna). Either way, here are some of the highlights.
1. “Certified Lover Boy”, Drake . . . January.
2. “Medicine at Midnight”, Foo Fighters . . . February 5th.
3. A new album by Lil Nas X.
4. A new release from Red Hot Chili Peppers.
5. Queens of the Stone Age
6. My Morning Jacket
7. “Utopia”, Travis Scott
8. Phoenix
9. Rihanna
10. Dinosaur Jr.
11. Schoolboy Q
12. Spoon
13. Adele
14. Billie Eilish
15. The Cure
16. Arcade Fire
17. Cardi B
18. Kacey Musgraves
19. Lorde
20. Kendrick Lamar
I don’t know about you, but I still have a lot of unresolved feelings about 2020 so I’ll be needing that Adele album sooner than later.
