This week Ne-Yo releases R.E.D.

Also, the popular Now series releases its 44th That's What I Call Music, Aerosmith culls brand-new material, and the "Glee" cast takes on the "Grease" soundtrack.

Nominees include Rihanna and Taylor Swift (they lead the nominees with six and five nods, respectively), Justin Bieber, and Katy Perry, who each grabbed four noms.
NEW ALBUM RELEASES
+ Ne-Yo, R.E.D.: Not to be confused with Taylor Swift's recent album, Ne-Yo's latest effort stands for "Realizing Every Dream." The 12-track set features "Forever Now," where he pleads for his love to not go for another guy. Also, he toasts us gals and gives us props for being classy on "Don't Make Em Like You," featuring Wiz Khalifa. Also listen to the smooth-grooving "Lazy Love."
+ Kylie Minogue, Abbey Road Sessions: To mark Kylie's 25th year of pop stardom, she's compiled this 16-song record. The album also pays tribute to London's famed Abbey Road Studios (where Kylie recorded), and it contains reworkings of her big hits (like "I Should Be So Lucky," "Can't Get You Out of My Head," and "Locomotion") along with rarities. It also includes her duet with Nick Cave, "Where The Wild Roses Grow," and brand-new song "Flower."
+ Nelly, Scorpio Season: For his birthday on Nov. 2, Nelly gifted fans with his latest mixtape. He spoke to MTV News about his NSFW innuendo-tipped single, "CNF (Country N**** Fly)," saying, "Yeah, we are country but why does that have to be a bad thing?... I wanted to make sure I broke that stereotype and it's not really a bad thing if we embrace it now." Also, check for his steamy late-night song "4 in the Mornin'."
Check out more new album releases, upcoming TV appearances, and performances after the jump.
