Gomez to Release New Album Next March

If you’re tired of hittin’ repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat on Selena Gomez’s last album When the Sun Goes Down, you’ll only have to wait a little longer for new music.

The 20-year-old half-Mexican American singer/actress, who has been focusing more in recent months on acting projects like Spring Breakers and Getaway will reportedly release her next studio album in March 2013.

Gomez was in Texas on Wednesday to help Ryan Seacrest open Seacrest Studios, an interactive media experience for kids at the Children’s Medical Center of Dallas. During the event, Seacrest posted via Twitter, “@selenagomez just told me new album in march fyi,” and linked to a photo of himself and the former Disney Channel star.

Though no other information has been released, the news hints at the end of Gomez’s musical hiatus, which started back in January 2012.

To date Gomez’s last album, When The Sun Goes Down, has sold 642,000 copies since its June 2011 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album — her third with her band Selena Gomez & The Scene — spawned her biggest airplay hit ever, “Love You Like a Love Song,” which reached No. 15 on the Billboard Radio Songs chart and her first top 10 on the Pop Songs tally.

Since the album’s release, Gomez has turned her attention to acting, lending her voice to Hotel Transylvania and returning to her Disney roots for a Wizards of Waverly Place special. She also launched a self-titled fragrance last spring.

It’s no wonder Gomez was recently named Glamour magazine’s 2012 Woman of the Year for her burgeoning career and her continued philanthropic work with UNICEF.

Gomez, who graces the cover of the magazine’s December issue as part of the honor, proves she’s Hollywood’s golden girl in a gold gown and fiery red lipstick.

“Woman of the Year — I didn’t even know I was a woman! I’m very honored… and it’s a very, very big deal to me,” said Gomez about receiving the honor. “I’m going to hold it close to my heart.”

Gomez earned the title for her work as UNICEF’s youngest ambassador. She recently helped Chilean families with the “Programa Puede” program, which develops early childhood education in impoverished communities.

Meanwhile, SelGo’s music and acting careers haven’t slowed down one bit… Along with landing four No. 1 singles on the Billboard charts including, “I Love You Like a Love Song” and “Who Says,” she’s taking on more grown-up roles in films like Spring Breakers and Getaway. She’s also starring in and executive producing a new Wizards of Waverly Place movie to be released next year.
