2020 is OVER, but it’s still unclear when we’ll return to our pre-pandemic lives . . . going to movie theaters, hitting up bars and clubs, and attending concerts and music festivals.
But one thing is certain: We can still LISTEN to music.
So someone made a list of the 101 most anticipated albums of 2021. Of course, there’s always the possibility that release dates change, or that the albums don’t make it out this year. But hey, we’ve got to look forward to something.
Here are 20 highlights, along with the expected titles and release dates, if known:
1. “Certified Lover Boy”, Drake . . . January.
2. “Medicine at Midnight”, Foo Fighters . . . February 5th.
