The Biggest Albums Coming Your Way In 2009
Green Day and U2 drop new LPs this year, along withpromising young gunslike Paramore, Tokio Hotel and more.
By Gil Kaufman, with additional reporting by James Montgomery
2008 was a huge year for rock ... and 2009 looks like it could be even bigger. So all this week, we're taking stock of the things guaranteed to rock this year. From the triumphant returns of some of the biggest bands on the planet to a handful of up-and-coming acts that we're expecting big things from in '09, we've got it all covered.
This is Rock Week, on MTVNews.com It will bepretty difficult to top a year that saw new albums from both Metallica and Guns N' Roses, but 2009's roster of rock includes just asmuch firepower — including LPs from colossal acts like Green Day, U2 and the Boss, not to mention potential new sounds from young guns like Paramore, My Chemical Romance and Tokio Hotel.
And that's just the headliners.
On the undercard, we've got the triumphant return of British songstress Lily Allen, radio-ready rock from the Frayand bludgeoning prog-metal from Mastodon. Plus, there are new albums from critical faves like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Decemberists and Black Lips. And let's not forget sonically adventurous indie hipsters like Animal Collective (who, depending on what you read, may have already released the best rock album of the year), or the gloriously maudlin new album from Antony and theJohnsons. Oh, and Prince is releasing three records this year.
MUSIC DOWNLOADS
A music download refers to the transferring of a music file from an Internet-facing computer or website to a user's local computer. This term encompasses both legal downloads and downloads of copyright material without permission or payment if required.
Popular examples of online music stores that sell digital singles and albums include the iTunes Store, Napster, Top20mp3s.com and nimbit. Paid downloads are sometimes encoded withDigital Rights Management that restricts making extra copies of the music or play purchased songs on certain digital audio players.
Digital music sales now generate around $2 billion in revenue, with tracks available through 500 online services located in 40 countries, representing around 10 percent of the total global music market. Around the world in 2006, an estimated five billion songs, equating to 38,000 years in music were swapped on peer-to-peer websites, while 509 million were purchased online.[1]
