The No.1 Most Poptastic Single of 2022: Beyoncé – Break My Soul

The No.1 Most Poptastic Single of 2021: Taylor Swift – All Too Well (10 Minute Version)
What a strange year for music 2021 has turned out to be. If it wasn’t unusual enough that my top 10 features a live version, two remixes and five performers in their 70s, I’ve ended up with a no.1 that’s a 10-minute-long ballad. Not only that, but an extended version of a song that I… Continue reading The No.1 Most Poptastic Single of 2021: Taylor Swift – All Too Well (10 Minute Version)

Songs 2-4 switched places endlessly while I was compiling my top 10 this year, but the no.1 never changed. In fact, I was 99% sure Rain On Me would be my no.1 from the first time I heard it. There was a lot riding on this song and Chromatica as a whole when it was… Continue reading The No.1 Most Poptastic Single of 2020: Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande – Rain On Me

The Most Poptastic Singles of 2020: Part 1
After the bizarre year we’ve had, I feel like I should be writing about a strange year in music, but aside from the lack of gigs and a few albums pushed back, it’s actually turned out surprisingly normal. Compiling my top 10 this year, I found that it was made up of the same mix… Continue reading The Most Poptastic Singles of 2020: Part 1
