News : Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, The Wanted: Most Anticipated Pop Albums Of 2013
It will be hard to top the pop-splosion that was 2012. What, with smash albums and singles from Psy, One Direction (two, in fact), Fun., Justin Bieber, Maroon 5, Carly Rae Jepsen, Pink and Taylor Swift, not to mention Adele's continued strong sales, it was a banner year for all things ear candy.
Don't sweat it, though, 2013 is already shaping up to be another big one, with new music on tap from Lady Gaga, The Wanted, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez.
We've been hearing about Gaga's plans for her third album for months now and all we know for sure is that there's a ton of material up for grabs. She recently said she's written 50 songs for ARTPOP, which includes her rapping debut on the oddball track "Cake." In fact, there's so many songs she's thinking of a two-disc set with one covering her "experimental" notions and the other one packed with more traditional, radio-friendly fare.
Who Is Lady Gaga?
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in New York City, she primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career. She began performing in the rock music scene of Manhattan's Lower East Side, and was signed with Streamline Records by the end of 2007. During her employment as a songwriter for the record company, her vocal abilities captured the attention of recording artist Akon, who signed her to his label Kon Live Distribution.
Lady Gaga came to prominence as a recording artist following the release of her debut album The Fame (2008), which was a critical and commercial success that topped charts around the world and included the international number-one singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face." After embarking on the The Fame Ball Tour, she followed the album with The Fame Monster (2009), which spawned the worldwide hit singles "Bad Romance," "Telephone," and "Alejandro." The Fame Monster's success allowed her to embark on the eighteen-month long Monster Ball Tour, which later became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. Her most recent album Born This Way (2011) topped the charts of most major markets and generated more international chart-topping singles, including "Born This Way," "Judas," and "The Edge of Glory."
Influenced by David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Queen, Lady Gaga is recognized for her flamboyant, diverse and outré contributions to the music industry through her fashion, performances and music videos. She has sold an estimated 23 million albums and 64 million singles worldwide and her singles are some of the best selling worldwide. Her achievements include five Grammy Awards and 13 MTV Video Music Awards. Lady Gaga has consecutively appeared on Billboard magazine's Artists of the Year (scoring the definitive title in 2010), ranked fourth in VH1's list of 100 Greatest Women in Music, is regularly placed on lists composed by Forbes magazine and was named one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine. Besides her musical career, she involves herself with humanitarian causes and LGBT activism. (Read More)
