Gigwise readers have named Arcade Fire's new album, believed to be called Reflektor, their most wanted album of the coming months.
In a recent poll, the Canadian rockers scored a landslide victory over a number of big-name rivals, and were voted the most anticipated new release coming up in 2013. The band have hinted at the album's title in a recent graffiti campaign, and Reflektor is set for a late Autumn release on 29 October 2013.

Placing second in the poll are Sheffield upstarts Arctic Monkeys, who are set to release their fifth studio album, AM, on 9 September 2013. The band have previously revealed opening tracks 'Do I Wanna Know?' and 'R U Mine', and another track, 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?' recently leaked online. The band have already experienced a massive year, having joined Rolling Stones and Mumford & Sons as headliners at this year's Glastonbury festival.

US sisters Haim were voted third most wanted with their debut album, Days Are Gone, the details of which were only revealed this week (5 August, 2013). The album is released on 30 September and will include singles 'Forever', 'Don't Save Me', 'Falling' and new release, 'The Wire'.
Scottish electropop trio Chvrches were voted fourth most popular with their debut album, The Bones Of What You Believe, and US rockers Kings Of Leon placed fifth with their sixth studio album, Mechanical Bull.
Despite being one of the biggest pop superstars on the planet, Gigwise readers named Lady Gaga's hugely hyped (mosty by Lady Gaga) ARTPOP album as their least wanted record yet to be released. The star has begun promoting her third studio album in earnest, with tracks leaking online, bizarre videos and naked photos appear on her social networks over recent months.

Teenage singer Birdy placed poorly, with Gigwise readers naming her second album, Fire Within, their second least-wanted new release. More surprisingy still, Manic Street Preachers new record, Rewind The Film, tied with UK dance duo Chase & Status (and their upcoming Brand New Machine) as readers' joint third least anticipated album.
Canadian star The Weeknd's new album Kiss Land was voted the fourth least anticipated new release - despite huge interest in his upcoming collection online.
