More and more artists have official channels on YouTube and the following five are all promoting new or upcoming albums.

Timbaland & Nelly Furtado on The Today Show

Timbaland has been dropping a well-selected assortment of videos in support of the upcoming release of Timbaland Presents Shock Value.  It must be nice to be able to pop some tv footage up on one’s YouTube channel.

El-P f/Trent Reznor – Flyentology

El-P’s video promos typically drop on the audibletreats channel as he promotes his new album I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead.

Rich Boy – Boy Looka Here

Rich Boy is promoting the second single off his self-titled top 10 album.  Note the ringtone and homepage cross-promotions in the video subtitles.

I really like this single:
"big cake, big shrimp on a big plate"

Trailer for Linkin Park’s LPTV 2007

Linkin Park is doing a documentary series called LPTV as they record their next album and do all the other stuff they do.
