This week we have a load of exciting album news to share with you, with upcoming releases from the likes of Stereophonic's, The Drones, Low, Justin Timberlake, LL Cool J and much, much more!

Triple J’s Hottest 100 is one of the most anticipated countdowns of each year. It tends to have something for everyone – representing the year in music. 2011’s Hottest 100 was, of course, no exception and features a variety of songs from a vast range of genres and artists/bands. The annual two disc CD release, Triple J’s Hottest 100 Vol. 19 is a 41 track compilation, featuring a selection of the songs that made the top 100 – and a stellar compilation at that.

Welcome back for another week. As we get slightly further into 2012, the album releases from week to week just keep growing and this week’s edition is the biggest yet!

On Wednesday 5 October 2011 triple j and ABC Radio will launch a second triple j station: triple j Unearthed.
