New Country Music Albums Coming in 2022

Jason Aldean, Thomas Rhett and Dolly Parton are just three artists with new country albums planned for 2022. Expect a fast start, with several newcomers, one rocker and two veteran hitmakers dropping new titles in January and February.

The first three months of any given year are typically slow, but that may not be the case with new country albums in 2022. Joe Nichols and Walker Hayes are among country chart-toppers with full-length albums planned. Additionally, country duo Maddie & Tae have an EP coming, and Brothers Osborne are adding onto their heralded album from last year. There is going to be plenty of great country music to stream or download very soon.

New albums will be added to this list as soon as they are announced. Two confirmed but TBD albums from Thomas Rhett can be found at the bottom, but we've also heard rumors of new albums from Luke Combs, Maren Morris and Miranda Lambert. If those are announced, you'll find them on this updated list of new country albums from 2022.
