Fall 2009 Album Release Schedule

The recording industry once again aims to boost sluggish sales by packing their MVPs into the last three months of the year. This fall’s release schedule includes a songstress whose last four albums all debuted at No. 1 (Alicia Keys’ The Element of Freedom), a sequel more star-studded than the Grammys (Timbaland’s Shock Value 2), the most-delayed album of 2009 (Lil Wayne’s Rebirth), and a couple of Shady characters (Eminem’s Relapse 2 and 50 Cent’s Before I Self Destruct).
