2024 was a big year for music, but the year 2025 promises us some big projects too. With highly anticipated albums from big artists set to release this year, 2025 is looking to be a big year for music as well. Let’s look at the top 5 albums set to release this year.
- Hurry Up Tomorrow – The Weeknd
The Weeknd is one of, if not, the biggest artist in the world. This album will be the conclusion to his highly successful “After Hours” trilogy. This album should give fans some classic R&B hits and pop songs as well. Additionally a film featuring himself and actress Jenna Ortega will be released with this album. The Weeknd has also said that this will be his last album under the persona of The Weeknd.
- TBD – Lady Gaga
While a title for this album is yet to be released, Lady Gaga promised fans that “LG7” would be released in February. She has stated that this album will be nothing like her past ones, and that this would “showcase her love for music”. Whatever that may mean, fans are extremely excited to hear what Lady Gaga has in store for them
- Don’t Be Dumb – A$AP Rocky
It has now been over 2,00 days since the last Rocky album, and fans are dire for new music. This album had a release date set for August of 2024, but it has been delayed since then — nothing new for Rocky fans. While there is no promise that this album will be released this year, fans eagerly wait for this release of his 4th studio album.
- The Right Person Will Stay – Lana Del Ray
Lana Del Ray’s 10th studio album is set to release in May of this year. While not much information about this album has been released, it is set to be 13 songs long with an “American songbook style” she said in a recent interview. Whatever genre she decides to release, it will surely be a hit with her fans.
- I AM MUSIC – Playboi Carti
Fans are flat out tired of waiting for this album to release. It’s no surprise it comes in at number one. With promises of this album release date in 2024, Carti fans were extremely upset to see the year pass with no new music. Carti has released many singles to promote this album on YouTube, but none have officially released on streaming services. Fans are hungry for a new album, and it should hopefully come out sometime this year. But with Carti, the release date is always a mystery.
