Pivotal POP! the podcast where we take an album and tell you how we would have done the rollout. Whether the album was a global smash or a cringe worthy flop, we get to the bottom of why it was pivotal in that artists career. Hosted by 3 pop misfits (Xander, Ed & Haydn) with combined professional experience in the Radio & media industries, we may not always agree but we certainly have passion behind our (sometimes incorrect) opinions.

S02 E02: POSITIONS - ARIANA GRANDE
Ariana was flying high after dropping "Thank U, Next" which broke numerous records and solidified her as a pop icon. No one expected her to go where she did next with 2020s "Positions". It split the opinions of fans and critics and even Piviotal POPs hosts.

S01 E08: THE PINKPRINT - NICKI MINAJ
After the hyper pop of "Roman Reloaded" Nicki Minaj wanted top get back to her Rap roots and the end result was what many considered to be her best work "The Prinkprint". It coined one of the biggest hits of her career in "Anaconda" and critics and fans ate it up. Although along with this new sense of self came a messy singles roll out which didn't quite meet it potential and there was a sense of some Nicki fatigue in the air.

I’d have given 5 stars if they sorted out audio levels for season 2. We know Xander is a loudmouth, but he’s taken it quite literal! It sounds like poor Ed is still shoved in a cupboard. Love you boys!
