After scoring a U.S. Hot 100 hit with "Want U Back" and a U.K. smash with "With Ur Love" in 2012, Cher Lloyd is hoping to notch a few more international hits with her sophomore album, "Sorry I'm Late." The album, due out on May 27, has already been previewed by the T.I.-assisted hit "I Wish" and the new single "Sirens," and was supported on Demi Lovato's Neon Lights tour last month.

Meanwhile, Austin Mahone is planning a huge 2014, which started with the Pitbull collaboration "Mmm Yeah" and will continue with the May 27 release of his long-awaited debut album, "The Secret." The 18-year-old will kick off his biggest headlining tour yet, the MTV Presents Austin Mahone tour, on July 25, in his hometown of San Antonio.

Finally, "Pretty Little Liars" star Lucy Hale will kick-start her country-pop career when she releases "Road Between," her debut album, on June 3. The singer/actress has stepped into the music world with the lead single "You Sound Good To Me," which debuted at No. 88 on the Hot 100 chart upon its release.
