Fall 2016 is a big one for album releases, and we’ve lined up twenty-five can’t-miss titles to groove to this autumn. Check out our recommendations below!

The summer music slump just about killed me. Every radio station had the same twenty-five songs on loop. It was enough to make me turn the radio off altogether and turn to my trusty stash of CDs- GASP! Yes, I still own physical copies of music, because REASONS. You could probably trace my CD buying addiction to Target. They often sell copies of albums with Target exclusive tracks. Tell me, WHO can say no to that?

There were a few chilly days in September, and that absolutely did me in. I’d had enough of all the summer ballads and beachy anthems. There’s something about that first chilled day— that telltale sign that autumn is right around the corner— that makes me wanna ditch the summer jams, anyways.

But with such a slump-tastic summer, is there even anything to look forward to in the music world?

Well, of course there is. AND I HAVE FOUND ALL THE THINGS to watch for, darlings. Take a look at the twenty-five most anticipated fall album releases. To make things easy, I’ve compiled them in order of release date. As you’ll see, October 7th is a huge day in the biz.

And, of course, if I’ve missed anything, give me a shout!
