The autumn leaves of red and gold bring with them loads and loads of new music releases. The summer concert season is a good cash injection for artists, but it's the fall -- into the holiday shopping season -- where many labels bring out their big guns to bring home the glut of gift-shopping sales.

So, as new announcementas are made every day, HitFix has broken out some of the most important releases this autumn, plus a genre-by-genre spotlight on other major new albums.

Kelly Clarkson, Coldplay, Nickelback, Drake, Lady Antebellum, Tony Bennett and others are bound to move units and propel music buyers into stores. Which of these are you excited about? What would you add?
