Ariana Grande's seventh studio album, "Eternal Sunshine," was released Friday.
Artists like Beyoncé and Kacey Musgraves are also preparing to release highly anticipated projects.

The nearly four-year wait for Ariana Grande's return to music is officially over, and while the internet debates which songs are the best, we already can't stop thinking about all the new music set to come this year.

While some artists seem to hit the mark over and over again (hello, Mrs. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter), others are destined to endure a musical flop or two throughout their careers.

So, in celebration of finally getting "Eternal Sunshine," here's our breakdown of albums we can't wait to hear and those that probably should've stayed in the drafts a little longer.

After the somewhat lackluster album "Positions," fans are excited for what Ariana Grande’s "Eternal Sunshine" will bring.
