Get The List Here of The Hottest New Albums that are out today!




BIG SEAN ALBUMBig Sean | "Finally Famous: The Album"

After delivering three mixtapes and winning the co-sign from Kanye West, Big Sean is ready to taste the sweetness of success with his debut album, "Finally Famous." Sean gathers talents from heavy hitters (Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Rick Ross, The-Dream, Chris Brown) for club anthems ("Dance (A$$)," "Marvin & Chardonnay") and reminiscent mid-tempos ("Memories (Part II)" featuring John Legend, "So Much More"). -Erika Ramirez



Bon Iver | "Bon Iver"

Some may struggle with the correct pronunciation of the name of Justin Vernon's band, but that didn't stop an astonishing amount of new fans from flocking to Bon Iver's 2008 debut, "For Emma, Forever Ago." Vernon escapes the dreaded sophomore slump with June 21's self-titled effort, which remains as heartbreaking and staggeringly genuine as his much-lauded first album. In fact, the only thing that's changed this time around is Vernon's elevated profile. After being highlighted on Kanye West's "Lost in the World" and "Monster," the indie-folk mastermind is garnering even more fans - and outdoing even himself on the album's Prince-tinged closing track, "Beth/Rest." - Jillian Mapes


Jen Carlos Canela | "Un Nuevo Día"

You can catch dreamboat Canela on new Telemundo soap "Mi Corazón Insiste" singing the title track and similar romantic fare he's known for. But in his sophomore set Canela also pairs up with Pitbull, salsero Gilberto Santarosa, José Feliciano, El Cata and regional Mexcan group Los Recoditos, opening up his range and reach. -Leila Cobo





LMFAO | "Sorry For Party Rocking"

LMFAO continues supplying alcohol-infused party hits with its second full-length album, "Sorry For Party Rocking," to be released June 21 on Interscope Records. Its first single, "Party Rock Anthem," has climbed to the Top 5 of the Hot 100 behind the chorus chant, "Party rock is in the house tonight/Everybody just have a good time." It's sage advice to two guys who know to to throw a party. -Sarah Maloy





Pitbull | "Planet Pit"

Why do they call Armando Perez, aka Pitbull, "Mr. Worldwide"? That's the question the Miami-based, Cuban American MC sets out to answer on his sixth album. Bicultural club hand-wavers, like "Give Me Everything" (already a Hot 100 smash) and "Shake Señora," mingle with the Alex Da Kid-inspired balladry of "Castles in the Sand" to form the ultimate crowd pleaser. But this isn't Pitbull changing his identity to fit what's hot right now -- it's his world, and we're just dancing in it. -Monica Herrera



Jill Scott | "The Light of the Sun"

Though it's been a minute since Jill Scott released a new album, the singer/songwriter shows she's lost none of her lyrical frankness on her album, "The Light of the Sun." On "So Gone" she talks about a "diamond chip dick" while on "Rolling Hills," Scott salutes the power a woman possesses that goes beyond her physical form. -Gail Mitchell





Weird Al Yankovic | "Alpocalypse"

After a five-year absence, master satirist "Weird Al" Yankovic takes aim at a new generation of pop stars, from Lady Gaga to Taylor Swift to Bruno Mars, on "Alpocalypse," the follow-up to 2006's "Straight Outta Lynwood." Among the ubiquitous songs skewered are Swift's "You Belong with Me," which is turned into "TMZ"; Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A.," which serves as the template for "Party in the CIA"; and Gaga's "Born This Way," which (after a lot of confusion from Gaga's camp) was cleared to become the set's first single, "Perform This Way." And as always, Yankovic includes a polka-themed mash-up of recent pop hits, with Britney Spears, Flo Rida, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber all receiving the accordion treatment on "Polka Face."-Jason Lipshutz
