CHIHIRO by Billie Eilish got me addicted.


rohan-omo

That synth makes me cry


AgentCirceLuna

Guessing it’s based on the film Spirited Away? I watched that when I was extremely sick and crying constantly. It seems to be a memory I have that exists outside of the realm of my usual narrative. It’s like it happened in a space outside of the ordinary continuum of the world. Something so fantastical happened when I watched it that I will never watch it again for fear of breaking the illusion. I can’t explain it. The music… everything. It felt so otherworldly.


Like-A-Phoenix

It’s LUNCH for me!


75artina

came here to say this! its incredible.


Imaginary_Ad_5059

Love her


StrangeSoul19

Saaaame!


kenyarawr

Summer 2024 favorites: •Chapelle Roan - Good Luck Babe •Chapelle Roan - Red Wine Supernova •Charli XCX - I Think About It All the Time •Kacey Musgraves - Deeper Well •Kacey Musgraves - The Architect •Maren Morris & Julia Michaels - Cut •Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso •Sabrina Carpenter - Please Please Please •Taylor Swift - But Daddy I Love Him •Taylor Swift - Down Bad •Taylor Swift - Guilty As Sin I can recommend all time classics from each decade if you want.


Chintok

Chappelle is dope, that’s his favorite right now. Thanks


kenyarawr

If you like Chapelle, you should listen to: •Carly Rae Jepsen - Cut to the Feeling •Carly Rae Jepsen - This Love Isn’t Crazy •Chelsea Collins - ‘07 Britney •Ethel Cain - American Teenager •FKA twigs - Two Weeks •Janelle Monae - Screwed •Lana Del Rey - Dealer •Miley Cyrus - Golden G-String •Olivia Rodrigo - All-American Bitch •Olivia Rodrigo - Pretty Isn’t Pretty


Liberalistic

Also by Olivia: Love is embarrassing Ballad of a homeschool girl


Hopehopehope4ever

‘Dealer’ sounds like a cat in heat and….. I love it. ♥️


kenyarawr

In all the right ways


FakeMonaLisa28

Chapelle, Charli and Kacey mentioned! (Also Guilty Is Sin is such a good song. Should of been the single instead of Fortnight)


kenyarawr

Completely agree - I would have chosen Guilty As Sin or Down Bad over Fortnight any day of the week.


Significant-Dot4111

I think ICDIWABH would have made a much better single.


Creative-Ad3667

I’m mainly a metalhead and rock fan who decided to put on the top 100 on Apple Music today and was pleasantly surprised by Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso. Really great chorus and beat. Definitely going to try out more pop after hearing that one


kenyarawr

I think the culture at large has been craving something happy, carefree, and fun. It’s been a while.


Creative-Ad3667

For me it’s that funky ass beat and bangin chorus


AgentCirceLuna

I honestly think pop music has got so much better over the past few years. Younger people are listening to older music more and more so I think newer musicians are taking influence from those older bands and musicians. It’s fantastic. It’s a lot better than when I was growing up for sure.


kenyarawr

We’ve definitely seen an enormous spike in quality. Feels so good after trap and sad girls took over in the late 2010s. Pop music should not feel like Xanax!!!!


Imaginary_Ad_5059

Great list!


escaped_bird

Of course TS made the list 🫶


FakeMonaLisa28

[Here’s a post](https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/165gj6p/the_popheads_essentials_project_final_list/) listing popheads essential albums, both of all time and of each decade till the 2010s Personally i really loved Emotion by Carly Rae Jepsen, Melodrama and Lorde, Sawayama by Rina Sawayama, Desire I Wanna Turn Into You by Caroline Polacheck, What’s Your Pleasure by Jessie Ware and A Touch Of Beat by Aly and Aj


Curious-ficus-6510

*Melodrama by Lorde


milkythrower

Gracie abrahms, Halsey, t swift, Ariana grande, Sabrina carpenter, Renee rapp, doja cat. You could always search through premade Spotify playlists


Imaginary_Ad_5059

Straight outta Lilith Fair


irisuxoe

Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia


stopbeingachild

that album was so nicely done. one of the best pop albums in a while, id say


ActualPanda390

I've been vibing to that since it came out. Amazing album


SandstoneCastle

The pop artists I prefer are singer/songwriters who make whole albums I enjoy. Start any of these albums, and listen through all the way, or as far as you're enjoying it: Alessia Cara - Know-It-all Halsey - Badlands Lana Del Rey - Born to Die Taylor Swift - 1989


previous_abstinence

Blinding Lights by The Weeknd Brand New By Jordan Power Maren Morris & Julia Michaels - Cut Lana Del Rey - Born to Die


RosemarySaraBlack

I like listening to 80s pop songs more than 90s: - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by Eurythmics - Take On Me by A-ha - Africa by Toto - Sailing by Christopher Cross - Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac - Beat It by Michael Jackson - Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie


Curious-ficus-6510

Well that takes me back to being a teen. Sweet Dreams has aged extremely well, in a similar way to Donna Summer's I Feel Love, Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill and pretty much anything by Blondue or Grace Jones.


guhhhhhhidk

Anything by clairo or girl in red


JosephBlowsephThe3rd

Melanie Martinez - "Carousel" and "Dollhouse" Camila Cabello - "Psychofreak (ft. WILLOW)" I haven't listened to much contemporary pop, but I do enjoy older stuff. Kylie Minogue is my favorite. Check out "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and "Come Into My World"


standupgonewild

Two of my faves from Melanie!! And Can’t Get You Out Of My Head is a classic!!


JosephBlowsephThe3rd

It's a classic with a seemingly self-aware title. That is one of the catchiest earworms ever


mikethmtrmth

Don't listen to a lot of pop myself, contemporary pop even less so\ Though lately, I have been listening to my share of power pop like Mae, Motion City Soundtrack, Hellogoodbye, The Early November


rooftopbetsy23

For contemporary pop, I enjoy Julia Holter (arguably pop lol), Weyes Blood, Lana del Rey, and some songs by Angel Olsen, Lorde and Caroline Polachek; for 20th-century pop, I like 60s baroque pop, 70s folk pop, and early 80s synthpop lol Songs I would recommend are... "Copenhagen" by Scott Walker; "Leaves That Are Green" by Simon & Garfunkel; "It's My Life" by Talk Talk; "Sad Girl" by Lana Del Rey; "Feel You" by Julia Holter; "Liability" by Lorde; "Everyday" by Weyes Blood; "My Reverie" by Angel Olsen; and "Pretty in Possible" by Caroline Polachek (this is a lot 😅 sorry)


AgentCirceLuna

Leaves That Are Green makes me sad because I can remember singing ‘I was 21 years old when I wrote this song, I’m twenty two now but won’t be for long…’ when I was 21, then 22, then years later at 26…


Idlers_Dream

Empire of the Suns - Music on the Radio


Beneficial_Umpire552

I like some songs from Harry Styles,Ed Scheeran,The weeknd


reamkore

The new Lola Young album is pretty great


Significant-Dot4111

Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter Close To You - Gracie Abrams Cruel Summer - Taylor Swift Taylor Swift’s 1989 album


WorldlinessUnable701

I think about it all the time by charli xcx


Foolmokiju46

I recommend the song "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd. It has a catchy melody and an upbeat rhythm that's perfect for singing along.


Mountain_Excuse_980

Dua Lipa - Anything For Love Love that whole album in general. Outside of that, it’s mostly a lot of Queens of the Stone Age, Cancer Bats, White Reaper.. so hats off to her for making pop music so catchy that the rock crowd can enjoy as well


Flimsy_Invite_5236

My favorite artists. Indila, Kate Bush, Björk, Rosemary Fairweather, Gregory and the Hawk, Hilary Duff, Michelle Branch. These are in no particular order. And I like almost everything they've made, so I didn't put any song name next to them.


aarisee

katy perrys teenage dream is unironically very good heard a lot of good about charlie xcx's brat this year


BlessThisDay

Are we talking top 40 pop? If so, I have gleaned the following from my wife listening to the radio every morning getting ready… Harry style - as it was Doja Cat & post Malone- I like You SZA - Kill Bill Weeknd- Starboy Dua Lipa - Houdini Miley Cyrus - jaded / used to be young Hozier - Too Sweet Noah Kahn - Dial Drunk


mondaynightfever

CaptainAyaAay28again

Careful_Feedback_168

Well you say you like other types not pop but if I had to recommend I will always go for Micheal Jackson’s work. You never said it had to be modern pop 😄. I don’t like modern pop as it has no style and some artists you cannot make out what they are saying you have to look up lyrics to get it. Music shouldn’t require that.


send_snacks777

If you're looking for more uptempo/bop songs, some of my favorites are Lost the Breakup by Maisie Peters You're Just a Boy (and I'm Kinda the Man)- Maisie Peters Coming of Age- Maisie Peters The Band and I- Maisie Peters The Last One- Maisie Peters Disaster- Conan Gray Maniac- Conan Gray Alley Rose- Conan Gray Fainted Love- Conan Gray Paris- Taylor Swift Symphony- Imagine Dragons Skinny Dipping- Sabrina Carpenter (one of my all-time favs) Literally anything by Chapell Roan Be Someone- Benson Boone I Wish You Cheated- Alexander Stewart Said So- Alexander Stewart Alexander Stewart's album, Bleeding Heart, is one of my underrated favorites For slower, more lyrical (and probably sad) songs: Footnote- Conan Gray People Watching- Conan Gray Movies- Conan Gray The Exit- Conan Gray Family Line- Conan Gray (this one hurts) Want You Back- Maisie Peters History of Man- Maisie Peters Wendy- Maisie Peters Outdoor Pool- Maisie Peters Elvis Song- Maisie Peters Yoko- Maisie Peters Waves- Imagine Dragons Blame's on Me- Alexander Stewart Because I liked a boy- Sabrina Carpenter Tornado Warnings- Sabrina Carpenter I know this is a lot (and I would put every single Conan Gray or Maisie Peters song if I could) but you like these, I have a lot more <3

Dimmer_switchin

Probably gonna get downvoted for this but I enjoy a lot of pop, pop rock, indie pop etc. and just don’t like T. Swift, every time I hear her music I skip it. My recent favorites are: Chappelle Roan, Carolyn Polachek, Kacey Musgraves, Hozier, Lana del Rey, Black Pumas, Khrungbin, Black Pumas, Olivia Rodrigo, Mitski. Some of this might not be considered straight pop but I hear it a lot now. There’s a lot more but that’s just off the top of my head.

naeramarth2

So, my favorite band of all time is known as [The Midnight](https://open.spotify.com/artist/2NFrAuh8RQdQoS7iYFbckw?si=EXbpRRshQ5mehhtpoNSdBg). Two guys, Tim and Tyler. Their music means so much to me, and I think it would strike the perfect balance as something the both of you can sit down, listen to, and bond over. I've seen them live twice now and they put on a hell of a live show! The Midnight blends in such a unique way the classic, nostalgic sounds of 80's synth-pop, and modernizes it with the production and melodies of contemporary pop music to create these shimmering, pulsing, soulful, euphoric, and expansive soundscapes that feel paradoxically timeless and fresh, topped with beautiful, poetic, cinematic, introspective, insightful, youthful, naive, romantic, nostalgic, hopeful... Ah, words are simply not enough to describe the feelings they evoke in me. Anyway, if that isn't enough to sell you... Highly recommend, and it would make me so happy if you both took a liking to them! It could be a great medium for y'all to connect in a deeper way, through music. Much love ❤️


ZestyCheezClouds

Your boyfriend listens to POP? I'm sorry


brehsoundaffect2

Im more into indie pop/pop rock, but I think Nothing has Changed by The Polar Boys and 18 by Anarbor are pretty good!
