Theyre really trying to erase the pop colossus era of Katy Perry, Adele, Black Eyed Pea, Jay, Kanye, Wayne, Drake, Nicki, Wiz, LMFAO and Gaga

It wasnt all good music but hits were really hits. You had to fight for a top 40 spot now any decently popular artist is in there by default with multiple entries

only even remotely interesting artist you posted is charli xcx and she isn't making anything better than what she used to make. although it's commendable that she didn't f*** her career up even more up with another mid album like crash. brat deserved to be as successful as it was and i'm glad it was, good moderately experimental (for pop) albums being that wildly popular are only good for culture a whole, but it's not better than her previous work. unlike crash though i'd say it's worthy of standing alongside it

Wouldn’t know I’m a grown man

Charli and Sabrina are fine though so I will listen to them

Exactly like Brat was good but not touching Vroom ep even

Chapelle has potential for a classic if really hones in and focuses on growth. I’d say 2-3 more albums in if she really goes that path

Lady GaGa released a better album than everyone u named

chapelle roan is the most astroturfed white b**** i've seen yet, yall seriously need to listen to more music.

Thats what all these new fans/younger people will never understand. A top 30 song back then might've been bigger than a #1 song today. The one I always use is NIP--peaked at #5. And if you were around back then you know that s*** was EVERYWHERE lol

Im On One peaked at #10

Both those go #1 today and probably stay #1 for half a year lol

Maybe if she stops spending all her time victimizing herself and focuses on bops

imagine unbothered queen Charli getting miffed over every single slight all year

No

Comparing this era to years when Michael Jackson and Prince were dropping pop classics is laughable.

2006 - 2013 were the golden age of pop

similarly to 1982 - 1989

Back when the amazingly talented and classically trained songwriters weren't retired yet.

I feel like we had a changing of the guard in like 2019 and now everyone runs to Jack Antonoff instead of Tricky Stewart, The-Dream or M. Martin

'62 - '66 has no competition

The girl groups alone nothing else hits like this

Thought it was just ladies talk itt. Do male pop stars still exist?

Asked gf and she says we are approaching one

for the bladee's and mk.gee's of the world

ejecto de seato if i ever hear a sabrina carpeter joint in da whip

Short N Sweet is songs in the key of life tier bro

those are good artists but it's no golden era

kpop better

except for charli

Way better than like 5 years ago, not necessity better than the start of the 2010s

They didnt make pink pony club so im not hearing it geezer

I want radio hits pop not critically acclaimed pop namsayin

Maybe we as a site have to accept that a bunch of 35 year old male kanye stans arent the best judges of what makes a good female popstar in 2025

Does anyone feel like this current pop is massively sexual innuendoes orientated?

She will have to taste me while he’s kissing you

I’m a giver who will get the job done

Not saying it’s a bad thing
