Been a very packed start to 2025 in pop stardom -- surprise releases, breakout hits, benefit concerts, maybe the best Grammys ever. @stephenrdaw.bsky.social, Kyle Denis & I recapped it and listed our own top five pop stars of the year so far. open.spotify.com/episode/4Vmx...

A travesty. Gone are the awkward encounters where you sit in the window seat of an almost empty car, only to be boxed in at the very next stop by two people intent on invading every ounce of your personal space. Your legacy will live on, Orange Window Seat™.

The Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century series is the very definition of a *beastly project*, and Andrew has once again proved to be one of the most deft, talented editors in this business through his UNBELIEVABLE handling of this project. In the words of our No. 1 pick — "Bow down, bitches."

At long last, Billboard closed out our Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century list with our No. 1 pick — Queen Bey. It's a phenomenal essay by our peerless deputy editor @augetoffmygold.bsky.social, and you should read it immediately: www.billboard.com/music/pop/be...

My coworker Joe did a fabulous job capturing what’s so enchanting about Ariana’s performance specifically: www.billboard.com/culture/tv-f...

Ariana Grande Is a Revelation In ‘Wicked’

Ariana Grande's Glinda in the 'Wicked' film is a revelation, thank Oz.

really hard to overstate how excellent ‘Wicked’ is. Both Cynthia and Ariana are PHENOMENAL, the cinematography is gorgeous, the music is exactly as beautiful as you want it to be, and even though it is long, it never feels unnecessary. It’s one of the best modern movie musicals ever made, period.

why yes, i *did* rank every song on the Wicked movie soundtrack (and you'll never guess which one hit number one except yes you probably already did) www.billboard.com/lists/wicked...

yes, i'm an editor and writer and all of that, yadda yadda, whatever: follow me if you're interested in caffeine-fueled diatribes on the importance of Chepe the Trash Panda as a cultural icon and how his evasion of the NYPD for multiple days is a singular source of whimsy and wonder.
