We're only three weeks into 2021, which means we have plenty of time left for new music releases. There are already some big albums confirmed and many more TBD ( based on artists' hints in interviews and social posts).

While Rihanna's long-awaited, "dangerously anticipated" ninth LP may be gifted to fans this year, it seems very likely music lovers will also be granted new albums from Adele, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, Brazilian pop queen Anitta, Gwen Stefani, Lil Nas X, Kacey Musgraves, Sade, Rosalía, Lorde, and many more.

Let us know whose new album you are most excited to hear this year in our poll below:

Your fall schedule would be looking a lot more fun and educational if you were taking one of these 9 college courses based on GRAMMY winners

Gather your notebooks, pencils and metronomes. It's back-to-school time. How is your schedule looking? Anything fun, interesting or musical?

Speaking of music, we wouldn't be surprised if you found a course based on a famous musician among your class list, since more colleges are now offering courses based on artists as a vehicle to discuss everything from music to identity to politics. For example, you could discuss feminism through the lens of Beyoncé and Rihanna, or review Appalachian culture with Dolly Parton or learn the magic of harmony with Stevie Wonder.

School's back in for fall and we've rounded up nine college classes featuring artists that would make studying and cramming for exams a lot more fun.

Dolly Parton

With her star shining from rural Appalachia all the way to Hollywood, it's fitting there is now a college course celebrating this GRAMMY winner's rise to stardom. "Dolly's America," a history honors course at the University of Tennessee, examines how Appalachia is portrayed in pop culture through the lens of Parton's career. Students study Parton's 1994 autobiography Dolly: My Life And Other Unfinished Business along with TV shows such as "The Beverly Hillbillies" and films such as Coal Miner's Daughter.

From the girl voted in High School 'least likely to succeed' this sure is a blessing! https://t.co/3EnB8ixB4f

Beyoncé

One of the top GRAMMY winners of all time, Beyoncé's complex and definitive music is ripe for college course material. University of Texas at San Antonio rose to the occasion with an English course focusing on Beyoncé's GRAMMY winner for Best Urban Contemporary Album, Lemonade. Students in the class "Black Women, Beyoncé And Popular Culture" examine the "theoretical, historical and literary frameworks of black feminism" by covering the album track-by-track.

Bonus course: Rutgers University offers a Beyoncé-based course titled "Feminist Perspectives: Politicizing Beyoncé."

Beyoncé, Rihanna

Like many of these college courses, starting class with pop icons offers students a path into complex social and cultural critique in a way that feels fresh and familiar. That's certainly the case with the University of Texas at Austin's "Beyoncé Feminism, Rihanna Womanism." The course looks at "how the lyrics, music videos and actions of these women express various aspects of black feminism such as violence, economic opportunity, sexuality, standards of beauty, and creative self-expression." 

The Beatles

The Beatles have come to define a generation, and their music is a gift that keeps on giving. As a result, several schools offer Beatles-related courses tracking the musical and cultural contributions of the Fab Four. Indiana University offers "The Music Of The Beatles," which delves into critical listening skills while also keeping an appreciation for the Beatles' music alive. At the University of Southern California, "The Beatles: Their Music And Their Times," explores the GRAMMY winners' music, lyrics and irrefutable impact on pop culture — from "Love Me Do" to Let It Be.

Miles Davis

With classics like Kind Of Blue and Birth Of The Cool, Davis is one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time, and there is much to learn about his contribution to musical style and form. At Berklee College of Music, "The Music Of Miles Davis" tackles just that in the brass department, examining, "the evolution of his playing and writing styles" through studying his "improvised solos, tunes, forms, harmonic practice, and his influence on other performers."

Kanye West

From music to fashion and beyond, there's no question GRAMMY winner West has an impact on everything he touches. Yeezy's reach now extends to the classroom, evidenced by Washington University in St. Louis' African-American studies class, "The Politics Of Kanye West: Black Genius And Sonic Aesthetics." With a mission of dissecting the intersection between fame, gender, sexuality, and race, students have a chance to "explore how racialized ways of doing iconography, complex ways of seeing, creates a distorted or reductive frame through which we see the black and famous." As instructor Jeffrey McClune Jr. said, "The question isn't 'Why teach Kanye West? The question is, 'What does Kanye teach us?'"

Lady Gaga

The Fame Monster made the curriculum at the University of Virginia in fall 2010 with the course "GaGa For Gaga: Sex, Gender And Identity." An English class used to teach argumentative essay writing, the course asked students to look at how the GRAMMY winner pushes social boundaries with her music and other contributions to pop culture. According to Professor Christa Romanosky, "We're exploring how identity is challenged by gender and sexuality and how Lady Gaga confronts this challenge." This sounds like a prerequisite class that should be an annual offering.

Bob Dylan

Now a Nobel laureate in literature, it seems appropriate Dylan would be the focus of a Harvard University-based English course taught by a professor steeped in the classics. Simply titled "Bob Dylan," the freshman seminar not only sets Dylan as an artist in his time, but also compares him to classic poets such as Virgil and Homer. "He's not just a protest singer, or a pop singer," said Professor Richard F. Thomas, "but a phenomenon who rolls into his art lots of disparate musical, literary and other strands."

Stevie Wonder

From "Superstition" to "My Cherie Amour," the GRAMMY winner's powerful songs have a lot to teach potential music students about melody, rhythm and harmony. That's why Berklee College of Music offers "The Music Of Stevie Wonder" to students who want to not only learn more about Wonder's career, use of technology, recording techniques, and business practices, but also his one-of-a-kind harmonies. By looking at his music at a "granular level," students dig into "Wonder's harmonic language, melodic principles and use of melisma, lyrical approaches and the ways in which these elements support the narrative structure of his compositions."

If you haven't heard Megan Thee Stallion's new "Savage Remix" featuring Beyoncé, do yourself a favor and press play on that Houston fire right now.

The internet—Stallion included—understandably lost their minds this past week over the Queen Bey-supported version of the catchy, confident track whose proceeds support their hometown's Bread Of Life COVID-19 relief efforts.

Now that we've all heard the latest golden vocals the 24-time GRAMMY winner has offered on another artist's track, we want to know: what is your favorite Beyoncé feature ever?

Vote in our latest poll below to let us know, and read on for a quick refresh on the songs.

What's Your Favorite Beyoncé Feature?

 

Back in June 2017, J Balvin and Willy William's joyful reggaetón track "Mi Gente" was everywhere and firmly established Balvin as a global superstar. Two months later, Beyoncé came on for a remix of the already inescapable track, delivering electric vocals in Spanish and English for another good cause—disaster relief in Puerto Rico, Mexico and the Caribbean. In December, she joined forces with pop singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran to turn his ÷ (Divide) love song "Perfect" into the "Perfect Duet."

Two years prior, in December 2015, Coldplay dropped their GRAMMY-nominated seventh album, A Head Full Of Dreams, along with the euphoric pop track "Hymn for the Weekend," which opens with angelic vocals from Beyoncé. While technically not credited as a featured artist, she brings the track to heavenly heights and serves up goddess realness in the music video when it was released a single in early 2016.

In 2014, rap queen Nicki Minaj dropped her GRAMMY-nominated third studio album, The Pinkprint, along with a fierce Beyoncé collab in the form of bad b**** anthem "Feeling Myself." The song got new life in 2018 at Beychella in the form of an enchanting mashup with "Flawless." And before the world was gifted a Destiny's Child reunion on that Coachella stage, Kelly Rowland's 2013 track "You Changed," featuring Beyoncé and Michelle Williams brought the trio back together with R&B girl power perfection.

Taking us back to the early '10s, in 2011, "Love A Woman" served up more female-led R&B power with the unstoppable vocal range of Mary J. Blige and Bey. The song was originally recorded for Bey's album 4 but didn't fit the final product—luckily it was released on 10th studio album My Life II…The Journey Continues (Act I). On 2009's "Put It In A Love Song," another fierce, empowered alliance was formed, this time with Alicia Keys, with an upbeat bop asking their lovers to let them know if the love is real, from Keys' The Element Of Freedom.

While there really is something special about the power of a song with Beyoncé slaying with another badass female, there is no denying the impact she's had bringing her feminine power and smoothness to remixes of male artist's tracks, a la "Mi Gente." Almost a decade prior to the Balvin collab, in 2008 she served up an appropriately rich dose of sexy to Usher's "Love in This Club, Pt. II," also featuring Lil Wayne, from Usher's fifth LP, Here I Stand.

This "Formation" singer's best features list would not be complete without inclusion of at least of few of her incredibly talented family members. Way back in December 2002, a then-16-year-old Solange released her debut album, Solo Star, with a sultry jam "Naive" featuring big sis/Destiny's Child lead Bey and '90s rap queen Da Brat. The album wasn't available digitally for years, but the track was recently released on streaming platforms just this year.

Finally, in October 2002, back when The Carters were dating, they first shared their love and fierce partnership with the world on JAY-Z's unforgettable "03' Bonnie & Clyde." With this melodic track from his seventh studio album, The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse, the unstoppable Jay and Bey began their reign in music, pop culture and our hearts.
