What you're looking forward to in 2009

[RedFox]

Like the title says... what are you looking forward to, music-wise, in 2009, and what else would you like to see happen? I've split them into things that should definitly happen next year, and things that I wish would happen that are less likely!


I'm looking forward to...
*More great gigs (especially The Killers!)
*The return of Blur
*New albums from Starsailor, OneRepublic, Sarah Whatmore and Nerina Pallot
*Hopefully new albums from at least some of: Robbie Williams, Scissor Sisters, Muse, Editors, Embrace, Jamiroquai, Avril Lavigne, David Gray, The Hoosiers and Gorillaz

I hope that the following will happen...
*Major breakthroughs for A Silent Film, Honey Ryder and Sarah Whatmore (particuarly the former who are AWESOME!)
*Starsailor to get the recognition they deserve for a change
*Sugababes to reclaim their title as the UK's favourite girl group
*UK album sales to increase
*More decent #1 singles
*The Christmas #1 to be someone unconnected with the X Factor!

I'm hoping for/looking forward to:

- Whitney Houston to release her long awaited comeback album and it be a huge success.

- Michael Jackson to make his return to music and performing, putting out a great album and maybe doing some concerts to proove to everyone that his music is still the best.

- The Saturdays to have more success, establishing themselves as a major UK girlgroup.

- Delta Goodrem will promote and release her 'Delta' album in the UK.

- New Kelly Clarkson Album! WOO-HOO! Hopefully it'll be very Breakaway-esque.

- La Toya Jackson to at long last release her much delayed "Startin' Over" album and have some dance hits in the UK.

- Britney Spears to have continued momentum and sales for the album/singles off 'Circus'

- Other new albums from: Lily Allen, Lisa Marie Presley, Paula Abdul, Rihanna.

I have no idea who or what is coming out with stuff next year, other than Rose Elinor Dougall is hopefully albuming. Counting the seconds.

I'd like X Factor to be banned.

the launch of Christian Burns new band The Bleach Works

[vastar iner]

Christian Burns? Sounds a bit like the Spanish Inquisition.

[aidzeh]

Florence and the Machine, Ladyhawke and Lady GaGa.

Ladyhawke was a 2008 thing. Hope she gets bigger in 2009, but can't see it.

Frankmusik I hope gets bigger. Hope Air Traffic have a new album.

Hoping for Ivyrise's debut too.
