At the Risk of Sounding Very Petty...These Are the Artists Who Never Dropped Albums in 2019

From Cosmopolitan

Sure, 2019 was pretty good for music. We were spoiled with albums from tons of amazing artists, like Lizzo, Ariana Grande, and Taylor Swift. But because I occasionally have a tendency to be a glass-half-empty kinda girl (someone’s gotta do it!), I can’t help but notice that 2019 is also the year we waited and waited for our faves to drop new albums...and never got any. Here are a few artists I’d like to have a word with.

Lady Gaga

As much as I’ve enjoyed listening to “Shallow” on repeat for the past year, it’s time for new Gaga songs, mmkay? I know she gave us Haus Labs, but I can’t pre-game to that, so...I’m going to need more.

Last album: Joanne, 2016

Adele

Adele really went through a divorce this year, then posted memes about being in her feelings and “remember who the f*ck” she is...and we still haven’t heard the album! This is the tease of all teases!

Last album: 25, 2015

Rihanna

At this point, Rihanna will do anything besides give us an album. I’m not even being dramatic. I made a whole entire list of all the things she’s done, from dabbling in footwear to playing a hot alien in Valerian. Although Savage X Fenty was a nice little spot of rain in this Rihanna drought, we are long overdue for some new tunes.

Last album: Anti, 2016

Justin Bieber

You know who else keeps dropping merch instead of bangers? Justin Drew Bieber. He’s given us a few collaborations to get through the year, but TBH, I’d rather he just quit vaguely teasing “2020” and give us the goods.

Last album: Purpose, 2015

Lorde

Okay, fine. I’ll cut Lorde some slack. In November, she explained that she’s pushing back her album a bit because she’s been having a hard time since her dog, Pearl, died. But she has still earned a spot on this list, because I’m willing to bet that most of us still had half of Melodrama on our Spotify Wrapped playlists.

Last album: Melodrama, 2017

Kendrick Lamar

Raise your hand if you’re tired of opening up Twitter every day to find a new theory about when Kendrick’s next album might come out instead of waking up to a surprise drop in the middle of the night. Glad to see that’s literally all of us!

Last album: DAMN., 2017
