We're glad that we aren't the only ones who noticed a particularly busy year for albums this autumn and winter.
Today, music retailers urged record labels to spread the release of albums across the year rather than cramming them all in towards the back end.
Album sales are traditionally higher on the approach to Christmas, but given their severe drop in recent weeks (Rihanna's Talk That Talk returned to the top a year after its release with sales of 9,578), we're not sure overloading consumers with ten or more records a week is the solution to the problem.
Regardless, there are some very exciting albums to look forward to over the next few months, including Leona Lewis's long-awaited Glassheart, Robbie Williams's Take The Crown and, of course, One Direction's second opus Take Me Home.
But which one are you most looking forward to? Vote in our poll below, which lists all the major acts that are (or at least planning to) release albums later this year.
