• Hits That Shouldn’t Have Been and the Songs That Deserved Better: Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and More

  On this episode, I’m diving into the pop singles that shouldn’t have been hits — and the deep cuts that deserved the spotlight instead. From Beyoncé to Lana Del Rey, Lady Gaga to SZA, I'm calling out the pop crimes and imagining alternate timelines where justice was served. Why did “Halo” blow up but a song like "Boydguard" never got off the ground? Plus, I’m giving some love to the songs that could still bee hits if the stars align just right.In music news: Charli XCX reportedly shot a video for fan favourite “Party 4 U,” Lola Young is dropping “One Thing” this Friday, and "Supernatural" by Ariana Grande is having a surprise chart moment. Lorde’s “Ribs” is back on the Global Spotify chart (justice!), and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has broken another chart record.Come and chat with us in the Discord: ⁠https://discord.gg/QEw9se7yAm⁠
