OK, true, we gave you like, a bajillion (29) upcoming fall albums to choose from in our "Which Fall 2011 Album Are You Most Excited About?" poll. From high-profile releases from Drake, Britney Spears and Rihanna to promising newcomers such as Cody Simpson, Dev, and I Fight Dragons, you guys voted for your faves and made your voices heard. In fact, we received more than 230,000 votes! (Why don't they just do presidential elections online?)

But there can be only one winner. And the 2011 fall album Buzzworthy fans are most excited about is...

ALLSTAR WEEKEND, ALL THE WAY

With more than 33 percent of the overall votes, it's clear that Allstar Weekend's All The Way is the soundtrack to your fall season. But we also need to shout out to Evanescence's highly anticipated third album Evanescence, which garnered a little more than 32 percent of the votes, as well as Cody Simpson's Coast To Coast and Patrick Stump's Soul Punk, which brought in 7 and 6 percent, respectively.

While we can't wait for all of the fall albums (um, hiyeee, we're a music blog), congrats again to Allstar Weekend! Check out more of the fall albums we're excited about in Buzzworthy's Fall Music Preview 2011, and let us know what you can't wait to hear!

Even after hearing just two tracks off of his upcoming album Soul Punk, Patrick Stump's is one of our most-anticipated fall albums. As a "thank you" to fans after they got him to more than 100,000 "likes" on Facebook, Patrick unveiled one more song from his upcoming debut solo album, titled "Allie." And I don't know who Allie is, but I'd like to have some words with her.

Unlike the anthemic lead single "This City" or the frenetic "Explode," "Allie" slows it down and puts Patrick Stump's falsetto at center stage. The R&B-tinged mid-tempo track finds Patrick recalling a relationship with a girl who had a bit more experience than he did. And I don't mean cooking experience: "'Cause Allie, I was so good back then/But I wonder if I'd be so good if I saw you again/Listen miss, you got me/You shoulda taught me such naughty things/You coulda taught me such naughty things." This just in: Patrick Stump is the only person on the planet who doesn't make me hate the word "naughty."

"Allie" is a little bit reminiscent of a B-side from Michael Jackson's Off The Wall mixed with some of Prince's overt sexuality sly innuendos. In other words, it's basically a "seven minutes in heaven" soundtrack.

+ Listen to Patrick Stump's "Allie."

Today we shared our favorite fall albums in Buzzworthy's Fall Music 2011 Preview. The lineup of 29 new albums includes heavy hitters -- Drake's Take Care album, Britney's B In The Mix: The Remixes 2 remix album and Rihanna's untitled sixth studio album, due out this November -- solo efforts from Patrick Stump and Joe Jonas, and small-but-strong up-and-comers like I Fight Dragons and Allstar Weekend.

And now we wanna hear from you! Which new fall album are you most excited about?

Lovatics already sent Demi Lovato's Unbroken to No. 1. Rihanna's personal military will surely rally the troops for her upcoming sixth studio album. Meanwhile Britney Stans are breathing heavy in anticipation of Britney's B In The Mix: The Remixes 2 album. And artists like YelaWolf and J. Cole are releasing their debut albums but already attracted legions of die-hard fans.

Gym Class Heroes fans have been waiting three years for a new album after 2008's The Quilt, and Evanescence fans have been waiting HALF A DECADE for the band's third studio album. Blink-182 fans might've thought they'd never see the day that Travis Barker, Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge would reunite for their Neighborhoods album, eight years after releasing Blink-182.

So which fall album will you have on repeat all season long? Vote in our fall 2011 album poll. We'll announce the album with the most votes on Tuesday, Oct. 4!

It's officially fall, y'all. Which means pumpkin lattes (unnecessary yet impossible to resist), bowls of free candy (dooon't mind if I do) and a superabundant stream of new albums vying for any remaining space on your iPod. So here at Buzzworthy, our music writers -- Tamar Anitai, Nicole James, Jason Newman, Jenna Rubenstein and Brad Stern -- harvested 29 of our favorite new and upcoming albums into a fall-friendly guide that's easier to digest than those weird brown candy corns.

The fall music forecast calls for dance floor fillers such as Jason Derulo's Future History, Patrick Stump's Soul Punk and Joe Jonas' Fast Life (two highly anticipated solo missions!), with high chances of comebacks like Blink-182's Neighborhoods, Evanescence's self-titled album, Gym Class Heroes' The Papercut Chronicles II and Demi Lovato's Unbroken. Expect new music by overachievers too: Britney released Femme Fatale six month ago, but that's not stopping her from dropping her remix album next month. And Rihanna will debut her sixth studio album almost a year to the day she released her Loud album, which is still riding high on the charts.

So, without further adieu or belaboring, check out Buzzworthy's Fall Music Preview 2011 -- 29 new fall albums on our radar that need to be on yours too! And vote for the fall album you're most excited about!

SAVES THE DAY, Daybreak: Saves The Day's been playing a serious game of musical chairs and contending with a constantly shifting lineup. Case in point? The band's latest album, Daybreak (featuring the title track, which is an 11-minute rock opera), is the first without longtime guitarist David Soloway and their first (and last) with temporary drummer Spencer Peterson. But Daybreak leaves no room for skeptics. There's "1984," an homage to old-school garage rock, and "O," an unassuming ballad that features lead vocalist Chris Conley literally begging to be with his woman (we'll pause for the collective "Awww"). Instant classic. -- Jenna Rubenstein
Standout songs: "1984," "O," "Undress Me"
Release date: Sept. 13

CODY SIMPSON, Coast To Coast: Perhaps best known as Australia's answer to Justin Bieber (start screaming now!), 14-year-old heartthrob Cody Simpson's about to set dozens of young hearts ablaze with the release of his second stateside EP, Coast to Coast, on Sept. 20. Channeling all the best young blond crooners -- from Jesse McCartney to Aaron Carter -- Cody Simpson's bringing straight-up R&B-pop on his latest EP, including his swoon-y springtime single "On My Mind" and his most recent release, the breakup ballad "Not Just You." With album production credits that include Danja, The Messengers and Adele hitmaker Fraser T. Smith, his musical team is more top talent than teenybopper. -- Brad Stern
Standout songs: "On My Mind," "Angel," "Not Just You"
Release date: Sept. 20

DEMI LOVATO, Unbroken: On Unbroken, her third album, Demi Lovato comes clean, inspires and experiments with something totally healthy: musical styles. Though Unbroken reflects her time getting sober and getting healthy after entering rehab in late 2010, Unbroken's both confessional and cathartic. Pulling in Timbaland, Missy Elliott and Iyaz, Demi goes dance-pop on party tracks such as "All Night Long" and "Who's That Boy" (featuring Dev) while going beneath the surface into personal territory, like on her revelatory, Phoenix-rising redemption song, "Skyscraper." Demi's definitely on the right track: Unbroken went to No. 1 within the first HOUR it was released. -- Tamar Anitai
Standout songs: "Skyscraper," "Give Your Heart A Break," "Who's That Boy"
Release date: Sept. 20

Patrick Stump wants everyone (and their mother) to know he's obsessed with his hometown of Chicago. Personally, I'm partial to New York, but if anything could convince me to move it would probably be Patrick's catchy new single/ode to his hometown, "This City." (Do they make more dudes like that in Chi-town?)

As we mentioned when we brought you the preview, there's not much of a plot happening in "This City." Mainly we see Patrick dancing around in a dapper suit while the camera adds fake fire and turquoise smoke effects around him. Occasionally he lets his enthusiasm take over and allows himself one (or three!) "Jersey Shore" fist pumps as he sings his city's praises: "Cause this city/Is my city/And I love it/Ya, I love it/I was born and raised here/I had it made here/And if I have my way I'm gonna stay here for life." In the midst of all the special effects and camera filters, Patrick is shown in front of city buildings and parks, giving the video a bit more context.

Lupe Fiasco turns up next, and his verse is an honest look at his hometown's pros and cons. Decked in a chill gray hoodie, Lupe rhymes, "In parts of my city certain colors can't step/Sadly I'm talking about the color of your skin." Regardless, Fiasco is a Chicagoan through and through: "Despite all the above, I love this city."

Sometimes you don't need giant explosions or a winding love story or choreographed dancing to prove your point. Sometimes, as with "This City," all you need is Patrick Stump in the middle of Chicago singing about how great it is. His suit doesn't hurt, either.

Things can get a little dicey when a frontman tries to go solo. But as huge fans of both Fall Out Boy and lead singer Patrick Stump, we're pretty sure that this tale of "Frontman Goes Solo" is headed toward a happy ending.

Today we bring you a video preview of Patrick Stump's first single, "This City," off his forthcoming album Soul Punk, out Oct. 18. To help him on his ode to his hometown Chicago, Patrick has called on rapper and fellow Chicagoan Lupe Fiasco. This isn't Lupe and Patrick's first joint effort -- the two collaborated years ago when Stump produced Fiasco's song "Little Weapon." Now, Lupe returns the favor in a big way.

In "This City," we see a dapper-looking Stump snapping and dancing his way through the chorus. Right off the bat, dude is super happy and excited to be singing about his hometown (What up, Chi-town!): "This city/Is my city/Ya, I love it, I love it/I was born and raised here/I had it made here." We see photos of Chicago building facades and street lights tinted by grainy camera filters, as well as a few black-and-white vanity shots of Patrick, which we're not mad at one bit.

While Patrick Stump's "This City" preview doesn't offer much of a storyline except for "Here's me in a suit singing about Chicago," we don't actually care. Stump is solo, and we love it.

When we first told you about "Moustachette" way back in 2009, we didn't really have much of a clue what the indie film starring Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump along with Yellowcard's Ryan Key would be about. We only knew we were in for a hilarious "quest for truth in a blanket of stupidity." Now that we've finally seen the full-length, 17-minute movie, we can tell you that... we still have no clue what's going on here.

Here's what we think might happen in "Moustachette": Patrick Stump plays a kind of down-and-out loser type, and he wants to be more like Pete Wentz's charismatic character. After some serious weirdness goes down with Yellowcard's Ryan Key (some kind of fake infomercial touting "Moustachette" is involved, IDK), I think the audience is supposed to realize that boisterous and rowdy Ryan is somehow Patrick's mentor? And after some soul searching and sleeping in a car, Patrick finally grows a backbone, takes a cue from Key and stands up to his jerk girlfriend.

Truth be told, we're not really sure what "Moustachette" is about or why it has that title or anything else regarding the plot. What we do know is there are enough F-bombs in the film to warrant a round of applause from Odd Future, and there are three guys from bands that we like in it. So that's enough for us to press "Play"!

Another piece of the puzzle that is ex-Fall Out Boy Patrick Stump's new sound was recently revealed -- he tweeted the cover art of his highly anticipated upcoming album Soul Punk, due out Oct. 18. Along with the cover image, the "This City" singer also revealed several upcoming tour dates. Double prizes!

Drawing on some of the '80s influences that are also prevalent in his songs on the upcoming album, the cover of Soul Punk features a dapper-looking Stump dressed in a suit and maroon leather gloves (a Michael Jackson hat tip?) surrounded by neon boxes, a glowing city night scene and "Soul Punk" written in calculator font (at least that's what we're calling it). Basically this is what we think every boy should look like before going on a date -- a little classy, a little nerdy and a little Michael Jackson-y.

Yo guys, it's becoming evident that this crush I have on P. Stump is getting larger by the second. I'm not saying it's time to alert the authorities, but I wouldn't put scaling fences beneath me. Soul Punk better hurry up and get here.
