Billboard is in the midst of unveiling their 25 Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century. To celebrate and analyze these influential artists, they’ve launched a dedicated podcast series. Hosted by deputy editor Andrew Unterberger, each episode features discussions with a rotating cast of Billboard editors, writers, and contributors. They delve into the careers, catalogs, and legacies of the stars who made the list, adding dimensions from both industry insider and pop superfan perspectives.
The first three episodes of the podcast are already available. Episode one covers the Honorable Mentions with Unterberger, Jason Lipshutz, and Kyle Denis discussing the artists who nearly made the top 25. Episode two spotlights Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran, with insights from Joe Lynch and Walaa Elsiddig. Episode three features discussions on Bad Bunny with Isabela Raygoza and Emily Fuentes, and One Direction with Danielle Pascual and Rylee Johnston. New episodes are released every Friday, and fans can subscribe on Spotify or other podcast platforms to stay informed. Seems like a solid way to deep dive into the pop universe with some of the best in the business leading the way.
