This week’s episode of Popcast (Deluxe), the weekly culture roundup show on YouTube hosted by Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli, includes discussion of:
The current Hot 100, which features newcomers like Tommy Richman, Shaboozey, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and others
Who has emerged, besides Taylor Swift, as a true cross-platform pop superstar in the last decade — Bad Bunny? Drake?
How centrist pop has become an aggregation of several styles rather than one coherent sound
How pop superstars of the ’80s and ’90s aggregated superfans and casual fans
Whether there is a path for a new star to get famous enough to play something like the Super Bowl halftime show a decade from now
