Del Rey’s music genre is indie-pop, and her most notable song was “Summertime Sadness,” which peaked at number nine on the Hot 100 according to Billboard.com. The most recent release from Del Rey on January 9 was “hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have – but I have it,” and it will be featured on her new album.

5. Backstreet Boys

Album: “DNA” – January 25

Concert: February to April – Zappos Theatre at Planet Hollywood

The Backstreet Boys are best known from their hits from the late 90s. “Everybody” and “I Want It That Way” have become some of the biggest hits and the biggest memes for people who grew up in that era; however, the band has made a big shift from youthful, synthetic music to more acoustic ballads such as their latest release “No Place.” This single dropped on Jan. 4, 2019 and is a good omen for their newest album.

Concert: Not Released

American Authors, most notable for performing “Best Day Of My Life, ” which was released in 2014, are releasing their newest album in February. The album will include their latest single “Stay Around.” This song has a very different, more somber tone than the previously mentioned song.
