2009 a big year for music. With CD sales dropping, the music industry is hoping to recover with projects fans have been anticipating for years, such as Whitney Houston's new project.

Already this year, there has been a great bumper crop of new releases. However, upcoming games, music, and phones are of interest to just about anyone who wants to have fun with their lives. Motorola has recently been heard to once again be at the forefront of its industry’s production and development. The gaming industry is hotter than ever, and new games promising heretofore-unseen combat opportunities are rearing to hit shelves. Music isn’t left out either, with the modern rock sound pounding our ears again.

Whitney Houston fans can all breathe a sigh of relief. Her highly awaited "I Look to You" will be released in September. The album is receiving rave reviews, and the world is waiting for one of music's best voices to return.

We've been hearing rumblings for a few years regarding the release of Dr. Dre's follow-up to 1999's "2001". It looks like "Detox" will drop in the fall/winter of 2009.

Madonna is set to release a collection of hits entitled "Iconography". Along with some of her biggest hits, there will also be three brand new songs from the Material Girl.
