Their Year in Pop: Billboard‘s Greatest Pop Star of 2019 kept her momentum rolling well into 2020, and started 2021 still deep in the promo push of her Positions set from the previous October. That album received a deluxe edition reissue in February, featuring a new remix of the original set’s “34+35,” with assists from fellow stars Megan Thee Stal...
Their Year in Pop: It was a slow trickle of advance tracks, magazine covers and music videos — as well as a well-received feature-length Apple+ documentary, The World’s a Little Blurry, in February — for Eilish leading up to the release of Happier Than Ever, her full-length follow-up to 2019’s culture-dominating When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We...
Their Year in Pop: Count this as a Silk Sonic entry if you’d like, as Bruno’s year was more or less entirely subsumed by his investment in his retro soul-funk superduo, alongside singer/drummer Anderson .Paak. But of course, it’s primarily the involvement of Mars, one of the most consistently successful pop stars of the 2010s, who made the throwbac...
Their Year in Pop: Cardi B began 2021 still riding from her epochal “WAP” the year before, performing the chart-topper alongside co-star Megan Thee Stallion for the first time at the Grammys in March, in possibly the evening’s most buzzed-about performance. By that time, Cardi already had a successful follow-up single to pair it with on stage, as t...
Their Year in Pop: Styles’ Fine Line was such a blockbuster that the Dec. 2019 release was still a major factor in pop culture as the calendar turned to 2021. The explosive “Golden” was still climbing the Hot 100, and the feel-good sing-and-clap-along “Treat People With Kindness” received a stunning black-and-white video treatment that debuted on N...
Their Year in Pop: The Australian rapper-singer’s F*ck Love set from summer 2020 continued its long roll downhill in 2021, just gathering mass and momentum as it went. The set’s deluxe edition, released the prior December, spun off the first true crossover hit of The Kid LAROI’s career in early 2021, when the wailing heartbreak ballad “Without You”...
Their Year in Pop: The rap fixtures and Voice of the Heroes co-stars found themselves on close to even footing in 2021 — as well as a ton of the same hit singles, including DJ Khaled’s “Every Chance I Get,” Meek Mill’s “Sharing Locations” and the Durk-led “Finesse Out the Gang Way,” in addition to the 16 Hot 100 hits the two launched together off t...
Their Year in Pop: While appearing on the Grammy stage with Cardi B, Megan had her own hit single to play: “Body,” taken from the previous November’s Good News, whose yo-yo-ing vocal hook was still unmissable in pop culture for much of early 2021. “Cry Baby,” with DaBaby, followed “Body” to the Hot 100’s top 40, and drew extra attention for its dol...
Their Year in Pop: After spending the second half of the ’10s outgrowing his antagonistic origins and evolving into one of the most talented and acclaimed album artists of his era, Tyler, the Creator returned in 2021 with Call Me If You Get Lost, a more traditionally rap-oriented set than 2019’s heartbreak odyssey IGOR, with mixtape-era hero DJ Dra...
Their Year in Pop: Pretty simple: You’d have to be living under a rock with crappy Wi-Fi to not know about Donda, the long-awaited and oft-delayed album from the rapper formerly known as Kanye West that was heralded (and workshopped) over the course of three separate live (and livestreamed) stadium listening events in Atlanta and Chicago this summe...
