Almost all online retailers provide that information.

If you know the band you're looking for then Amazon.

I usually just browse the Wikipedia page of my favourite bands and they usually have every album listed and news about upcoming ones.

Funnily enough I'm working on exactly such a site since I struggled to find a decent site that did this. Or one that included UK release dates.

http://www.music.ukreleasedates.com/

This is what I've done so far.

It's far from being finished but I'm going to work on it over the next few weeks. I haven't tested it in IE, though it works fine in Firefox and Safari atm. I've still got more albums to add and more features to add also but you should be able see where I'm going with it.

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. I might do a post when it's totally finished as well.

Yeah, they don't work yet. The idea is they will link to more detailed information about the album further down the page.

If you go to http://www.xbox360.ukreleasedates.com/ and scroll further down you should see the sort of thing I'm getting at. This site is in the early stages as well.

I get my release dates from a number of sources like Amazon and other online retailers, Wikipedia, official sites and some american release date sites (where I can take the albums and then find the UK release dates).

It looks ok on IE here although the September is a bit weird on 1280*1076
