i can see no reason why not. open to basically anything, but i'm trusting you'll know what i mean by pop, ie not a belle and sebastian b-side.

carly rae jepsen - call me maybe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWNaR-rxAic

sort of gay club pop but i can't resist that chorus, it's insidious.

nicki minaj - starships
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-8MagxjOrE

even with that unsubtle party rock lite drop, i still love it

katy perry - part of me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuwfgXD8qV8

1. pretty sure this is paid for by the us military. 2. hilarious that she's doing army training with glamour makeup on. 3. i'm pretty sure this song proves that there is an exact specific written formula to writing a song for katy perry, because they all sound utterly identical. but for some reason, i like this identical one more than the others.

usher - climax
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJBeZ2cDGQQ

digging the glitchy rnb thing.

azealia banks - NEEDSUMLUV
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wbxmy9lkbY4

maybe my fav pop/rnb based track of the year.

also if it keeps lana del rey threads off the front page you can do all your LDR puns and long wall of text critiques in here. lana, YOU A STUPID HOE.

Climax is running away with it atm. Love it.

New Bieber song is all kinds of in my head despite not really liking it, sounds WAY too much like a Justified b-side or something, but its in my head soooo...

Miguel has released 2 free 3-track mixtapes (art dealer chic 1&2) which contain these cool jams:

- adorn is awesome, i like that a lot
  
  i'm about to trawl through the new nicki minaj album, the fact that i'm seeing nas's name in the tracklist does not bode well for my hope that she'd ditch trying to be serious.

  Definitely sounds like a bad attempt at Justified, it's too sickly-sweet, which to be fair is Bieber's market I guess. It's written/produced by that Mike Posner guy as well who is one of the most ridiculous douchebags I have ever come across. I mean, just look at this for example:

    - hm?
      
      i'm extremely skeptical of that. people tend to think pop music was better x years ago because they have the luxury of only recalling all of the good moments, and completely forgetting the bad. i would agree there was some really cool stuff happening pop music around the turn of the millenium and that there is an increasingly throw-shit-and-see-what-sticks mentality but all that said i don't think there's a drought by any means.
      
      i can totally see how if you preferred a certain style and trend (like what was happening 04 to 06ish) what's trending now might just seem boring but i think the inventiveness and fun is still there, that never went away.
      
      CrispinAlexander @Thought_Dreams | 30 Mar '12, 23:01 | X | ^ This | Reply
      - Generally I'm against the crusty old 'things were better in...' mentality.
        
        But I genuinely think the quality of pop and r&b has declined over the last year or two, and for this I totally blame David Guetta and all the trance shit.
        
        It's not just a hind sight forgetting all the crap thing either. I genuinely think the best that pop had to offer 10 years ago was infinitely more fun and interesting than today, and there was lots more of it!
        
        I mean compare these two lists:
        
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UK_top_10_singles_in_2001
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UK_top_10_singles_in_2011
        
        Sure theres a whole load of gash in both of them but I count at least 17 songs I love in the 2001 one when I struggle to find 7 in the 2011 one.

        i don't think those links tell an accurate story
        
        on a purely side by side comparison, yeah, 2001 looks better.
        
        but look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UK_top_10_singles_in_2002 just a year later and compared to the 2001 list, definitely not as strong.
        
        and let's consider the songs from and not from that 2011 list that were great: beyonce's countdown, super bass, all of the lights, motivation, gucci gucci, we found love, call your girlfriend, headlines...

      - I don't know
        
        Everyone now wants to sound like the Guetta/Calvin Harris model, or like post-Gaga 80s synthpop, and that's what's led to the return of trad boy bands. One Direction and The Wanted are successful in America now because they've been precision targeted at a demographic that got forgotten - boy bands were dead except in NKOTBSB nostalgia while the most commercial end of pop is either aimed at the clubs or so sexualised it says nothing to the kids.
        
        I don't think, though, that taking ten years ago as standard really helps, because then you're on the far side of the Xenomania/Richard X 'pop not as a dirty word' production thing and pop is still coming out of its supermarket and Saturday morning target markets, the latter of which doesn't exist any more. Here's a proper best selling singles of the year list - http://www.vanityedge.com/forum/showthread.php?5033-The-best-selling-UK-singles-(2001) A lot of it feels like a completely different market.

        re your first paragraph
        
        the boy band thing is just a nostalgia trend, i find it pretty easy to ignore that (when i need to)
        
        the guetta/harris sound...i'm not completely against it, but it can be boring as hell. i really think it depends where you consume most of your pop music - for example i know some pop orientated raido stations will lean heavily in favour of that style, whereas others will take a more rnb approach. and it depends what kind of clubs you might go to. and even down to little stuff like what music sites you visit daily and what youtube recommends you watch based on your previous videos. it's a saturated market but with that you can pick and choose easier than ever before.

        I love her voice
        
        but haven't heard her on a track I really like yet, shame really. Really hope Ruby Lee Ryder breaks thru in a simular way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZotuKB6BhcY that's pure pop joy to me that track. More so that that Jessie track.

        When he gets a beat that goes,
        
        he can still smash it. Sounds great over grimy stuff too. He's just been so lackluster with his rapping the last few solo releases, paired with mediocre production. idk, hard to believe he can release anything as good as Trap Muzik again but these solid guest spots are welcome.

        man this album is actually so much better than i was expecting
        
        the slower tracks are (predictably) duller but there's actually only about 2 of those, there's easily 5 or 6 good singles here.

        It smacks a bit too much of her trying to be Katy Perry, all the stupid asides and silly lyrics. I love Taylor as well. Probably won't ever hear it again anyway so nevermind.

        Is Katy Perry into little asides?
        
        Thought she just dialled up the foghorn and let rip for 3 minutes at a time.
        
        The asides don't *quite* work in this, but I still like them for being there; pretend phone calls in songs are always great though.
