There used to be 12 Album Releases We’re Excited About This Fall on this list, until we found out that Hilary Duff’s first album in seven years is getting pushed to 2015. Womp womp. But still, we’ve narrowed down all the upcoming releases to just the eleven worth downloading, mostly because these are going to be the ones that all the youngin's will be talking/tweeting/blogging about.
![The madden brothers greetings from california](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/AL1xV_ukt/480x480/2014/09/the-madden-brothers-greetings-from-california.jpg 480w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/AL1xV_ukt/640x640/2014/09/the-madden-brothers-greetings-from-california.jpg 640w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/AL1xV_ukt/768x768/2014/09/the-madden-brothers-greetings-from-california.jpg 768w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/AL1xV_ukt/1024x1024/2014/09/the-madden-brothers-greetings-from-california.jpg 1024w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/AL1xV_ukt/1280x1280/2014/09/the-madden-brothers-greetings-from-california.jpg 1280w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/AL1xV_ukt/1440x1440/2014/09/the-madden-brothers-greetings-from-california.jpg 1440w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/AL1xV_ukt/1600x1600/2014/09/the-madden-brothers-greetings-from-california.jpg 1600w, https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/AL1xV_ukt/2160x2160/2014/09/the-madden-brothers-greetings-from-california.jpg 2160w)
It feels weird to transition from Hilary Duff to her ex, Joel Madden, but anyway…Joel and Benji release their debut album as The Madden Brothers, the more soulful spin-off of Good Charlotte, and, probably because they want to guarantee themselves a hit, the album features two collaborations with Pharrell. Release date: September 16

Colbie Caillat's new single “Try” is inspiring, catchy, and soulful, much like the rest of her new record, on which she worked with Babyface. Release date: September 30

Taylor Swift’s upcoming fifth album is her most poppy one yet, and also her most personal. Well, all of them are personal, but this one’s title is a nod to the year she was born, so here’s to hoping 1989 is about more than just lousy ex-boyfriends. Release date: October 27

Post Jonas Brothers life has been good to Nick Jonas, who’s debuting his self-titled solo album by year’s end. Its lead single, “Chains,” has a more R&B feel, and is indicative of the rest of the album as well. Release date: November 11

No, you’re not crazy—Nicki Minaj’s new album title is paying homage to Jay Z’s award-winning The Blue Print. Which means this album will probably win much acclaim, too! And yes, “Anaconda” will be on it. Don’t worry. Release date: November 28
