Comment: to 2009 in music as a nearly exact duplicate of that article; it can be later restored as a separate article when the article 2009 in music is |large enough to justify a |split (probably some time in mid-to-late 2009). The |crystal ball arguments to delete a well-sourced article like this, however, were rejected when the deletion of 2009 in music on the same grounds was Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 July 29|overturned

Comment: partly for the reasons given by Reinoutr. Also, there's no doubt this list is well-sourced. I'm also voting to keep for the fact that this list will allow acknowledgement of upcoming untitled albums within Wikipedia, reducing in theory the temptation to create articles that fall under . A category would not serve this purpose very well. I don't agree that in all cases lists and categories on a topic need to exist at the same time, but in this case I'm leaning towards saying yes
Stance: keep
