New Album Releases & Arrivals July 10, 2026

July 10, 2026 is the kind of release Friday that only comes around a few times a year. The Rolling Stones, Jack White, Kelela, and Future all put out brand new albums on the same day, and that is before you get to Madonna's return to the dance floor or the debut everyone in the UK has been talking about. If your want list was getting short, this week fixes that.

The headline drops are only half the story. The racks also fill out with a 35th anniversary Geto Boys pressing, El Michels Affair's instrumental Wu-Tang classic in a new color and on cassette, the final volume of BBE's essential J Jazz series, city pop from Anri, and soundtrack vinyl that runs from Spira to Hyrule. New albums, deep reissues, and Japan imports, all in one drop.

Here's your complete guide to everything landing this Friday, alphabetized so you can find your artist fast. Shop the full July 10, 2026 collection here.
