This week on We7, we also take a look at some of the big album releases over the past few months. Top of our list is Blackout, the comeback album from Britney Spears.

The Kings of Leon released their third album, Because of The Times in April last year. A runaway success, it spawned 3 hit singles and showed the increasing musical maturity of the band. Recorded with long time producer Ethan Johns in Nashville and Los Angeles, the album was many critics favourite record of 2007.

Packed with frenetic, anthemic rock juxtaposed with lingering ballads, Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace is the seventh studio album from the mighty Foo Fighters.  Echoes, Silence and Patience saw them once again team up with legendary producer Gil Norton to produce a record that leaves

And last, but not least, Spirit from Leona Lewis. The first British female singer to reach number one in the US in twenty years, Spirit was also the fastest selling UK debut of all time.
