It's almost as if it was intentionally scheduled that Ariana Grande's very-hyped second album comes out two days after her show-opening performance at the VMAs alongside Nicki Minaj and the "we have a lot of money invested in her so let's keep trying" Jessie J. Grande's latest, My Everything, which features a plethora of guest spots from stars like Iggy Azalea, Big Sean, Zedd, Chidlish Gambino and the Weeknd.
Also competing for attention this week is Moonshine in the Trunk, the new album from Brad Paisley, as he goes back to basics and tries to rebound from the PR nightmare that was "Accidental Racist." The week's other major new releases are rounded out by albums from the New Pornographers, J Mascis, Opeth, and the return of the Rentals.
