10. I’m From BarcelonaThis Swedish group have only released two singles so far but they’ve been so jolly and fun-filled that they’ve more than earned their place in the top 10. 9. Andreas LundstedtAndreas is another Swedish act hasn’t done too much yet, and his Eurovision entry wasn’t that great (although he was the first… Continue reading Heroes of 2006 so far

Alesha – LipstickThis is of course Alesha Dixon from Mis-Teeq and her first single received its radio premiere this afternoon (there’s also a clip here) but I have to say I’m a little bit disappointed. It’s catchy but it’s nothing compared to Scandalous, the obvious height of Mis-teeq’s career, and there’s no rap which just… Continue reading New Pop On The Block

Which of these singles are best? Bosson – You Bertine Zetlitz – 500 JoJo – Too Little Too Late Lily Allen – Smile The Automatic – Monster The Kooks – She Moves In Her Own Way Madonna – Get Together Rogue Traders – Voodoo Child Snow Patrol – Chasing Cars Christina Aguilera – Ain’t No… Continue reading Untitled

Last night I went to see The Pipettes in concert at King’s College Student’s Union in London, and it turned out to be every bit as ace as you’d expect. The night didn’t start too well – I was fashionably late and still had to wait nearly 2 hours and through 2 awful support acts… Continue reading Dirrrty Pop Review: The Pipettes Live!

http://www.youtube.com/p/4B8470027F565CCB Marco Borsato – RoodI posted this song on Into The Groove recently but now I’ve found the video I think it needs another outing. This is such a fun song and being in Dutch just makes it all the more silly and surreal! And it’s not just a novelty, it’s really great pop as… Continue reading DP:UK

Europoptastic has been open only a few days and already we’ve learnt about lots of new music. Here’s a round-up so far: It all went a bit indie-pop when Lockedintheattic brought up German group Wir Sind Helden, but they redeemed themselves by singing in Japanese and revealing their new Tintin-inspired look. Much hilarity was added… Continue reading Untitled

One of the Backstreet Boys has left! But don’t worry too much, it’s only Kevin. He must be so old by now (he’s like a decade older than Nick or something) it was probably his doctor advising him to keep away from flashing lights and manic dancing, which kind of rules out touring or making… Continue reading Oh no!

Recently I noticed that there is not a really good forum that is devoted simply to Europop. The subject is frequently discussed in such places as Popjustice and Poptimists, but there’s no single place you can go to find the best new artists. So, I’ve taken the liberty of setting one up! Europoptastic This is… Continue reading Untitled

I thought this would make an interesting poll. Please remember to choose the ones you think would be successful and NOT just the ones you like best. I’m asking you in your capacity as pop experts, not necessarily people with good taste. Think success! Which of these acts would, in your opinion, gain success in… Continue reading Untitled
