2.Beyonce
After "the Super Bowl" for Pepsi and directing her own autobiographical film. Beyonce been busy recording her first postbaby album, due in April. Kanye West, Ryan Tedder, and überhitmaker The-Dream (''Single Ladies,'' ''Umbrella'') are all reportedly involved in production, and she has been spotted in the studio with Justin Timberlake and Miguel. She'll follow the album's release with the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, which kicks off in Serbia on April 15 and arrives on American shores in June.
3.Eminem
While he's stayed fairly busy guesting on tracks for other artists (50 Cent, Skylar Grey), Em recently announced a new full-length, his first since 2010's Recovery.
Look for input from mentor Dr. Dre and production contributions from frequent Kanye tag-team partner No I.D. when the album finally hits some time after Memorial Day.
4.Miley Cirus
The Artist Formerly Known as Hannah Montana has been changing up more than just her hair. For her upcoming fourth album, reportedly dropping in the summer or fall, the 20-year-old is said to be eschewing previous dips into country, pop, and rock for a more hip-hop and dance-oriented sound; in that vein, she's been logging studio time with Pharrell Williams, the Grammy-winning Hit-Boy (Jay-Z & Kanye's ''N----s in Paris''), and Odd Future rapper Tyler, the Creator.
5.Lady Gaga
The "Mother Monsters" claims that she's written ''like 50 songs'' for possible inclusion on ARTPOP, an album inspired, she's said by themes including ''the decay of the blonde pop icon.And boot up your smartphones, Little Monsters"
She's also promised that the album will be a ''completely interactive'' release with reams of extra visual and audio content.
6.Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey 14th studio album is shaping up to be a family affair: It willl be the first new music Carey has put out since the birth of her twins, and husband Nick Cannon has already served as both inspiration and video director for the lead single.
7.Britney Spears
Spears took to Twitter last month to announce ''new inspiring producers'' for her eighth album (feel old yet?), which is still in its early stages but predicted to release this spring. Studio whiz kid Hit-Boy (Kanye West, Justin Bieber) is one of the young guns she's working with, but proven Midas-touch pros Dr. Luke, Max Martin, will.i.am, and Rodney Jerkins will also be on deck this go-round.
8.Shakira
This new mom has already had an extra-productive year: jumping over to Jay-Z's Roc Nation label, brokering a deal to take Christina Aguilera's place in the next season of The Voice beginning yesterday (March 25 2013) and putting together her fourth English-language release. (Akon, LMFAO's Redfoo, Sia, and Lady Gaga regulars RedOne and Fernando Garibay have all reportedly put in studio time.) An album and a full-time gig in one of TV's most famous spinning chairs?
9.Fall Out Boy
Another band that came back from indefinite hiatus in 2013, Fall Out Boy are back with their unique rock hybrid on Save Rock and Roll, which comes out on May 7. The album's first single, ''My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)'' continues their signature sly melding of emo, R&B, and dance music.
10.Paramore
To kick off the new era of Paramore as a trio (brothers Zac and Josh Farro left the band in late 2010), the band has decided to go the self-titled route for its fourth album, which streets on April 9. The 17-track album features the crunchy, stomping first single ''Now'' and was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen, who has turned knobs for M83 and Tegan and Sara and also played bass for Beck, Nine Inch Nails, and Tori Amos.
11.Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift opened the 2013 Grammys with literal heat, in the form of some dude with a blow torch and a sort of flame-belching umbrella contraption. In a circus-cum-Alice in Wonderland motif, Swift stalked her way through ''We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'' with reckless abandon and laid out the night’s first great reveal: An anonymous stand-in for an ex-boyfriend, strapped to a target.
Though it seemed like she was going to toss knives in his general direction, Swift stuck with lyrical barbs and the drop-in line, ''I'm sorry, I'm busy...opening up the Grammys.'' Still, it would have been cool to see T-Swizzle (as LL Cool J called her) tossing some steel in some dude's general direction.
12.Fun.
For their Grammy debut, fun. broke out their latest single as opposed to either of the two songs (''We Are Young'' and ''Some Nights'') that got them to this dance in the first place. But ''Carry On'' deserves to be as big a smash as those other two, and their lock-step rendition proved the road-tested band had impeccable chemistry and electric presence.
In fact, the on-stage rain storm was a tad distracting, and though a bit of theatricality usually goes a long way at the Grammys, fun. already had plenty of charisma without forcing guitarist Jack Antonoff to constantly wipe the water from his eyes.
13.The Lumineers
What's the best way to ensure that everyone in the crowd will sing along? Make sure there’s only two syllables involved. Just as soon as these suspenders-rocking, kick-drum-stomping folk breakouts got to the chorus of their hit song, everyone was ''Ho! Hey!''-ing along in the crowd, from Melissa Etheridge (who looked very, very serious about her chanting!) to Hunter Hayes (who actually gave them a standing ovation) to Taylor Swift (who whipped out the signature heart symbol to demonstrate the universal hand gesture for ''I belong with you / You belong with me'').
It's official: Either people really love suspenders, or they really love this song.
