We just wanna go back...back to 1999. So for this week's episode, we did just that. Before we begin to say goodbye to not only 2019, but an entire damn decade, Billy and Greg wanted to take it back, back, back 20 years to the year that changed everything and ushered in this modern era of music. From the explosion of bubblegum pop to the Latin craze, pop music's greatest historians do what they do best and take you through it.  And as always, we've got our picks for Pop(s) and Flop of the Week. Someone tell Kanye this ain't the week for him. Enjoy ..read more

We're here, we're queer and we're talking about our people! After weeks devoted to those pop divas the gay community worships most, Billy and Greg are putting the spotlight on the LGBTQIA artists carving out space for themselves in the ever-expanding world of pop music. From Elton to Troye, Melissa to Hayley, The Scissor Sisters to King Princess, we're covering it all. And if we missed anyone out there making music in this current rainbow revolution, please let us know on Twitter @flopstarspod. Seriously, we're always looking to support more queer artists! As always, we've got a handful of p ..read more

It's time to dance. In this week's episode, Billy and Greg spend just a little while talking Janet Jackson and her 2004 album Damita Jo. Did her sexhibition have us saying "Don't stop!" or make us want to (strawberry) bounce? Elsewhere in the episode, we give you a glimpse between our sheets by sharing the three songs most capable of giving us some eargasms, narrow down our three favorite Janet tracks, and, as always, reveal our picks for Pop and Flop of the Week. Which of us was the boy with luv for BTS—and which definitely wasn't? As always, to listen to all the music talked about in this ..read more

An episode 10 years in the making. As promised two weeks ago, Billy and Greg devote the penultimate episode of season two to the two women who were, undeniably, their artists of the decade. We're talking, of course, about Beyonce and Lady Gaga. Join us as we break down these superstars' last ten years, album by album, to prove why their impact on pop music is unmatched. Elsewhere in the episode, we share our picks for Pop and Flop of the Week and have a hard time choosing just one. Sue us! Happy listening ..read more

Start the countdown. In this week's episode, Billy and Greg risk the wrath of the Beyhive to talk Beyoncé and her 2011 album 4. Can her persuasion really build a nation? Elsewhere in the episode, we share our picks for the best solo endeavors from former boy/girl group members (who aren't Beyoncé, naturally), try and narrow down our three favorite Queen Bey tracks (a fool's errand!) and, as always, reveal our choices for Pop and Flop of the Week. And if this wasn't a Lizzo stan-cast before, it sure is now. As always, to listen to all the music talked about in this week's ep—or the good stuf ..read more

Break out your rose-colored glasses. In this week's episode, Billy and Greg step outside their bubble and take a trip to Oblivia to talk all things Katy Perry and her 2017 album Witness. Were we feeling the purposeful pop or should she have just saved the whole thing as draft? Elsewhere in the episode, we share the three songs that always have us feeling wide a-woke, discuss our three favorite Katy tracks, and, as always, reveal our picks for Pop and Flop of the Week. Which unlucky boy band had us channeling Heidi Klum with a "one day you're in, the next you're out" attitude? As always, to ..read more

Colours of the world, spice up your life! This week, Billy and Greg put two and two together and now you'll see what our friendship is for. We've packed our bags, purchased a couple of one-way tickets, and embarked on a trip to Spice World for this super-sized episode of Flop Stars devoted to all things Spice Girls. Some might say it's too much, and to them we say, stop right now, thank you very much. From their game-changing debut to Geri's earth-shattering departure, each attempt at a solo career to every single reunion, we're breaking it all down. So slam it to the left, shake it to the ri ..read more

Go call the governor! In this special season finale episode, Billy and Greg get to work, bitch, and talk all things Britney Spears and her most personal album yet, Britney Jean. Did it make us wanna dance until our body ache? Elsewhere in the episode, we leave you with our picks for the upcoming albums we're most excited about (we bet you can guess at least one!), narrow down our three favorite Britney tracks, and, as always, offer up this season's last picks for Pop and Flop of the Week. As always, to listen to all the music talked about in this week's ep—or the good stuff, at least—be sur ..read more

What. A. Year. Before we say goodbye to season two and the decade, Billy and Greg had to wrap things up with an in-depth look back at the year that was. And true to form, we could only send off 2019 one way: by breaking down our picks for the Pops and Flops of the Year. Join us as the ball drops on our No. 1 Pops--and our No. 1 Flops. We apologize for nothing. Not only that, but we also set our intentions for 2020, sharing our hopes and wishes for the music year ahead. Rihanna, you up? We're talking to you... Thanks so much for listening along for 20 episodes across two seasons this ye ..read more

The wait is over. In this week’s episode, Billy and Greg enter the mad house that is Rihanna’s Rated R. Does the career-altering album hold up or did it turn us into a pair of rude boys? Elsewhere in the episode, we try to narrow down our three favorite pop diva-featuring dance tracks (why do we do this to ourselves?), reveal our choices for BadGalRiRi’s three best songs (are we gluttons for punishment?), and, as always, unveil our picks for Pop and Flop of the Week. Has this turned into a full-fledged Lizzo stan-cast? As always, to listen to all the music talked about in this week's ep—or the ..read more
