    ADELE: PART 2 (with Michael Cragg)

    Michael Cragg returns to Pop Pantheon for the second installment in our two-part series on the grande dame of contemporary pop, Adele. Michael and Louie discuss Adele’s sabbatical following her breakout blockbuster success with 21, during which she crafted her comeback album, 2015’s 25. They dissect the album, from the booming piano ballad “Hello” to Adele’s collaboration with big pop producers like Max Martin, and her continued mega success. Finally, they tackle her most recent album, 30, her most experimental yet, and her forthcoming hiatus before ranking Adele in the Official Pop Pantheon.

    ADELE: PART 1 (with The New York Times' Leah Greenblatt)

    The New York Times Senior Staff Editor Leah Greenblatt joins Pop Pantheon for the first in a two-part series on the mega diva of her generation, Adele. Leah and Louie explore Adele’s origin story, from her brief MySpace era to her official debut single which she wrote at just 16, “Hometown Glory.” From there they discuss her first album, 2008’s 19, which made her a star in the U.K., and “Rolling in the Deep,” which set the stage for her global takeover. Next, they tackle 21, a breakup album so successful, it was seen as single-handedly saving a struggling music industry struggling to adapt to the digital era. Tune in next week for part two, covering 25, 30 and Adele’s place in the Official Pop Pantheon.

    What Exactly is a "Flop"? (with Brittany Spanos & Chris Stedman)

    Katy Perry's latest album 143 lit the internet ablaze for all the wrong reasons when it dropped earlier this year, mostly because of how wrong it got nearly everything and how hard it underperformed as a result. 143 was a capital-F flop in the classic sense of the term. But what exactly does the moniker "flop" mean when it comes to pop music? What constitutes a true flop? How do pop fans use it? Where did it originate and how has it morphed over time into a term of endearment for diehards, especially queer ones? All that and more in this fascinating conversation.
