Fall is always the time of year when the record industry dusts off some of its biggest acts and sends them forth into the world to sell more records. A few of this season’s stars are a bit dustier than usual—it’s been seven years since we had last got treated to a newWhitney Houston album, and 11 years since KISS roared out of Detroit Rock City with new tunes—but most of the big names are familiar ones: Carrie Underwood, Mariah Carey, Pearl Jam, Lil Wayne, Shakira, along with a few upstarts like Kid Cudi and Paramore. What’s the advance word on this year’s crop of would-be blockbusters? We are trying to find out and will let you know as soon as we do. What do you think is going to happen?
