2008’s album sales have been anything but great, despite this year’s big releases, like Lil Wayne’s The Carter III. But, as usual, the fourth quarter of the year is filled with some blockbuster gems. We’ve already seen what affect high-profile, old-school rockers like AC/DC (784,000 sold in first week) and Metallica (sold 490,000 in 3 days) had on the fourth-quarter album charts. It doesnt end there, with releases by Beyonce, The Killers, Kanye West, and Britney Spears this winter, we’re in for one hell of a finale for music in 2008.

Def Britney’s circus. what about brandy’s new album that comes out dec 9th.
Britney Britney Britney!
Kanye Kanye Kanye!
Brandon Flowers Brandon Flowers Brandon Flowers
I mean the Killers
Am I too predictable?
Britney!
The Killers, absolutely. I would be excited by 808’s and Heartbreak if The Killers weren’t gonna release an album the same day.
Killers but I’m intrigued to see what Axl is going to come out with, or if it does actually get released!
unfortunately, it looks like the new animal collective isn’t coming out til 09′ (Jan 20)
so it’s all 808’s in 08′
Definitely Kanye. His new stuff is awesome- I can’t wait for the full album.
Have all of you not heard glass of water?
Really?
Definitely Coldplay’s Prospekts March will be on my must buy list.
I’m looking for a comeback, Britney all the way.
Kanye’s a close, close second!
Yeezy!
CIRCUS! Hoping BritBrit delivers the goods
killers , fall out boy ,kanye west (but i don’t like Love Lockdown.) and common( his last album was great , like the killers and FOB.
animal collective, kanye and akon will have some good hits, not so sure about kanye this time
Imma have to say the Killers. They last album sucked, lets hope this one’s different.
Kanye. No contest.
Britney& Kanye!
Jay’s album WAS pushed back… wasnt it? lol..
I need to fact check this.
Circus, Day & Age, and Folie A Deux are all pre-ordered and I am just waiting to get them. Aaaah, new music! It’s like Christmas is coming every single week.
808
um what about the coldplay ep? stoked!!!
I thought Jay’s album was pushed to 2009?
I’m looking forward to Missy’s release hella hard. Her tracks always have slick production, also looking forward to Britney for the same reason.
Animal Collective comes out January 20th, not december 23rd
but minus animal collective, beyonce!
Obviously Britney! But I am looking forward to FOB, The Killers, and Nickelback as well.
hey you forgot about coldplay’s ep, prospekts march! exciting…
Can’t wait for Animal Collective – great stuff.
Definitely Animal Collective. Their music is just so awesome.
c’mon luis, you forgot Jay-Z’s BLUEPRINT III (coming out december 3rd) which is gonna be a classic!!!
Is AKON a joke? The Killers, Kanye and Britterz me moi.
britney’s “circus”!
Beyonce’s latest. What I wouldn’t give to be Beyonce, if only for one day!
I’d say Britney’s Circus
After Kill The Lights, can’t wait for Britney’s new one. Oh and The Killers please.
animal collective! i loved strawberry jam!
BRITNEY’S CIRCUS!
808s and heartbreak….
and The Blueprint 3!!!
Dido!!! It’s been five years!! What I’ve heard so far hasn’t wowed me though
killers, kanye and you forgot A CROSS THE UNIVERSE
ANIMAL COLLECTIVE!
Animal Collective. =D
FOB’s tracks have all been fuckn great! cant wait!!
I’d like albums from –
Beyonce
Akon
Kanye
The Killers
and Britney
BRITNEY, BITCH!
I’ve always loved her music and “Womanizer” is soooo hot!
The Killers is defnitely having me super excited. Kanye West too. I’m also waiting on 50’s album
Since I’ve already heard alot of Kanye’s tracks from here (thanks by the way!) I’m most excited to hear what Britney’s bringing this go ’round.
KANYE WEST!! all the way!
Kanye West, The Killers, and Britney!
Can’t wait!
The Killers and Kanye West; I’m really looking forward to both of them. Of course I might have to make them Christmas gifts as money’s a bit tight right now.
killers & fall out boy. i already have dido’s new album, i’m hoping fall out boy’s isnt a huge disappointment like the last one, and killers should prove to be solid as always.
the killers! can’t wait, hope to be surprised in a good way…
