Upcoming pop release dates

A cluster of pop releases is landing over the next 24 days, with official artist stores and sites pointing to dates from April 17 through May 8. (store.oliviarodrigo.com, noahkahan.com, melaniec.net, joshgroban.com) Olivia Rodrigo’s official store lists a pre-order for a release called “drop dead,” while another section of the store is built around a separate project titled “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.” (store.oliviarodrigo.com, store.oliviarodrigo.com) Noah Kahan’s official site says his digital album “The Great Divide” will be delivered by email on April 24, 2026, and his homepage now describes the site as featuring music from “Stick Season” and “The Great Divide.” (noahkahan.com, noahkahan.com) Melanie C’s official site says “the new album” is due May 1, 2026, and lists the single “WCPGW” as already out. A separate tour page also lists album-release events beginning April 27 in Nantwich and running through May 15 in Berlin. (melaniec.net, melaniec.net) Josh Groban’s official news page says he announced a new album, “CINEMATIC,” for May 8, 2026, and paired that announcement with the release of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” on March 13. (joshgroban.com) The timing puts four established acts from different corners of pop on the same release calendar: Rodrigo at the front end this week, Kahan on April 24, Melanie C on May 1, and Groban on May 8. Those dates come from artist-controlled pages rather than a single label calendar. (store.oliviarodrigo.com, noahkahan.com, melaniec.net, joshgroban.com) The release pages also show how campaigns are being staged before street date. Rodrigo’s store is already selling vinyl, cassette, and compact disc formats tied to the new titles, Kahan’s site is selling a United States-only digital album, and Melanie C has built in-store and venue events around launch week. (store.oliviarodrigo.com, noahkahan.com, melaniec.net) What remains unclear is whether every page reflects a full formal announcement cadence across streaming platforms and social accounts, especially in Rodrigo’s case, where the store pages are visible but the exact Friday release language is not stated on the pages reviewed here. The official sites do, however, substantiate that multiple near-term pop releases are being queued now. (store.oliviarodrigo.com, store.oliviarodrigo.com, noahkahan.com, melaniec.net, joshgroban.com)
