We haven't had one of these in a minute!

What we like and don't like.

Here are some of my favorite POP MUSIC RADIO HITS right now!!

Confident - Demi Lovato
Love Yourself - Justin Bieber
Stressed Out - Twenty One Pilots
I Took A Pill in Ibiza - Mike Posner
Hands to Myself - Selena Gomez
One Call Away - Charlie Puth
The Hills - The Weeknd (Basically anything by The Weeknd)
Ex's and Oh's - Elle King



Here are some songs I don't love or hate that are POP MUSIC RADIO HITS right now!!

My House - Flo Rida
Stitches - Shawn Mendes
Hotline Bling - Drake
Same Old Love - Selena Gomez
Stand By You - Rachel Platten


Here are some of my least favorite POP MUSIC RADIO HITS right now!!!

Sorry - Justin Bieber
7 Years - Lukas Graham
Cake By The Ocean - DNCE
Get Ugly - Jason Derulo
No - Megan Trainor


Then there is Work by Rihanna. I like it but dammit it sounds like she is just making bird noises throughout the damn song.

Here's some youtube for those modern kids who don't like to read!

Most of those videos are relatively NSFW because people have no decency and think it's ok to just flash shoulder and ankle all over the place now. Back in my day the Anytime, Anyplace video by Janet Jackson was scandalous. Now they air that shit on Nick Jr.

    I picked up Badlands by Halsey and I really like it.

    There's a much more important topic to discuss here, and it's how Raijin is a criminal for using the blasted Song Name - Artist nomenclature instead of the obviously correct Artist - Song Name style.

    I didn't use to keep up with the latest pop, but then I started driving all the time and listening to the radio.

    So how about Taylor Swift's new song, the New Romantics? I'm not the biggest fan of the way she wrote or sang some of the lyrics, buuuut unlike Bad Blood or Shake it Off, the overall song is good enough that I can overlook the flaws and like the song legitimately.

    I am here to say that 7 Years by Lukas Graham is the WORST SONG I HAVE HEARD IN YEARS

    IT NEEDS TO BE NUKED FROM ORBIT

    We're talking MacArthur Park bad, people

    I just happened to be in a car when the radio "premiered" it and at first I was like, "Haha, this seems bad!" and then it kept going and I was like, "Boooy this sure is an awful song!" and then it KEPT GOING and we were getting close to our destination and I was finally like LET ME OUT I GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS CAR HOW IS THIS SO TERRIBLE

    And then it was stuck in my head ANYWAY

    I've only heard it a couple times, but I really like Taylor Swift's new song! I think I've liked everything off this album so far except Bad Blood? Wish it were on Spotify

    That grade for Bad Blood only applies to the album version

    I hate the version with Kendrick Lamar

    Oh, I forgot about Out of the Woods. Not a big fan of that either

    Blankspace is the best

    I listen to pop music on the elliptical machine.

    My car doesn't have a working radio.

    I like the chainsmokers

    I don't think Out of the Woods is a bad song, per say, but ARE WE OUT OF THE WOODS YET ARE WE OUT OF THE WOODS YET ARE WE OUT OF THE WOODS YET ARE WE OUT OF THE WOODS?

    Macklemore sucks. The saddest thing is, I used to think he was alright. Thrift Shop, Same Love, and Can't Hold Us were all pretty good songs.

    Then he released Downtown and Spoons and that fucking song about his kids or whatever and they were all just terrible.

    Can we talk about how great Demi Lovato's album is?

    All of her albums have been pretty good

    Heart Attack from her last album is one of my favorite pop songs maybe ever?

    Confident is SO DAMN GOOD.

  • Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan Registered User regular
    Elle King's album is easily my most played right now after the Hamilton Soundtrack. It's pretty much amazing from beginning to end. Also if you like pop country Kasey Musgraves is wonderful.

    Also I like Out of the Woods and the Ryan Adams version is pretty great too.

    i usually love all the stupid pop stars you can't tell apart but when demi lovato (or more likely whoever writes demi lovato's songs) ripped off sleigh bells and then she went on twitter and completely denied it and called them jealous for lightly calling her out, i stopped liking her

    especially watching all of her fans tweet at sleigh bells so incoherently

    I'm pretty biased against Taylor Swift. Pop music usually isn't my jam. But that Ryan Adams cover actually convinced me that Bad Blood was a really well written song.

    The Weeknd makes some pretty good pop music. I really like the other song posted up top too.

    If it weren't both in the same song id probably concede it could be coincidental
