Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to keep up with your favorite artists. Here are eight websites to check out new music releases as they happen.
The Music Ninja isn't worried about Justin Bieber's latest release or Miley Cyrus' latest album. Instead, it focuses on new content from lesser-known and up-and-coming artists.

The Music Ninja puts out regular playlists and often features new songs, all with the goal of introducing you to bands you probably haven't heard of. Every track in a playlist comes with at least a couple of sentences describing the artist and song.
You can download most of the featured tracks for free. Any that don't offer a free download can be purchased directly from the site.
Pitchfork is a wide-ranging music website that covers everything from interviews to exclusive video content. If you want to find new music, head over to the “Best New Music” section.
It has the motto, “Highlighting the best music of the current moment,” and it certainly delivers. There are three sections- “Best New Album,” “Best New Track,” and “Best Reissue.” Each section has an overall winner, but dig a little deeper and you can find shortlists with hundreds of entries. You can play many of the tracks directly from the website through the SoundCloud links.
Pitchfork updates the shortlisted content continuously, but they only update the overall winners every few weeks.
If you prefer mainstream music, head over to the official Billboard website. The company was founded in 1894, and has since grown to become the definitive voice in record sales in the United States.
If you want to see what's popular or trending right now, you need look no further. The website lists the Billboard 100 (singles) and the Billboard 200 (albums). You can play song snippets through the site, or click the Spotify link to listen to the full track.

Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, the site only supports iTunes.

As you might expect, New Albums posts launch, um, new album posts.
There are categories for Rap, Rock, Metal, Pop, Electronic, Folk, Indie, Jazz and Blues. Clicking on a genre will give you a list of the newest albums within it. The site updates the lists every day.

La sección destacada incluye una revisión escrita, una calificación de AllMusic y una calificación de usuario.
Cada registro tiene un enlace a una lista de Amazon, pero no hay una forma nativa de previsualizar el contenido.
