Masculine Noun
Even though it ends in 'm', 'álbum' is a masculine noun, so it always uses 'el' (el álbum).
The Special Plural Form
When making it plural, we add '-es' (álbumes). The stress shifts, so the accent mark disappears from the 'a'. (Singular: álbum; Plural: álbumes).
Incorrect Pluralization
Mistake: “Los álbums”
Correction: The correct plural is 'los álbumes'. Spanish words ending in 'm' usually follow this pattern.
