June 9th:

Black Eyed Peas: The E.N.D.
The E.N.D. brings the Black Eyed Peas back together again after solo efforts from each member. Fergie has done fantastically well on her own while will.i.am recently played the role of John Wraith in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The band’s first single “Boom Boom Pow is currently #1 on the charts. If this song is any indication, the album will be a hit.

June 16th:

The Jonas Brothers: Line, Vines, and Trying Times
The Jonas Brothers first album releases in the midst of their tour which should help sales fly up the charts. Their last album A Little Bit Longer has sold 1.5 million copies and the appeal of The Jonas Brothers just keeps increasing. The first single “Paranoid” is out now and is absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to hear the album!





Ashley Tisdale: Guilty Pleasures
The star of High School Musical is growing up with her latest album. This one has lost the bubblegum pop feel and become an edgier pop-rock. Still fun with catchy lyrics and great beats, Ashley is simply moving into new territory. Her first single “It’s Alright, It’s Ok” is already a hit and tons of fun to sing along to. Be sure and pick up the album this month!

June 23rd:

Regina Spektor: Far
The quirky songwriter is back with a new album. Her songs are always bubbly, fun and oddly catchy. Regina is a great artist and has gained fame since adding a song to the Prince Caspian soundtrack. This latest album should follow in the same entertaining footsteps of her previous albums.
