If it helps "Denial Is A River" is riding high in my Top 5 Played (not necess released) Songs Of 2025. In large part due to #PeoplesPop24 of course!!

Challenge Week - 5/7
"Living Lo-Fi," Cheekface
I know you're out there, other Cheekface fans. Because it was #PeoplesPop24 that introduced me to the quirkiest, most sardonic band this side of TMBG to pick up the absurdist-pop torch and wave it around wildly.

14. "Gut Feelings," Debbii Dawson
#PeoplesPop24 introduced me to Dawson, and she's become a favorite in our ABBA-loving household. Several singles released this year; this one rose to the top for me. Patiently waiting for an album.

So, Doechii. She was everywhere in early 2025. A top 10 hit, a #PeoplesPop24 runner-up. Nosebleeds. Anxiety...
But for me her main contribution was sparking an interest in the solo work of Blackpink members...
4. JENNIE ft Doechii, 'ExtraL'

Catch-up post to bring me level, and it's another artist fond of CAPS LOCK.
2. ALT BLK ERA - 'Run Rabbit'
Went on the list after murmurings (and a debut album release) during #PeoplesPop24.

My first two picks for #PeoplesPop24 this January - Kryssy's "Tchin Tchin (on a l'examen)" and Verito Asprilla × Li Saumet's "Apoteósica". Very similar to Dave's latest two #theTwen2ie5 picks...
I'm getting good flashbacks to #PeoplesPop24 here... Though there is a very good chance that I discovered both artists via your blog!

I did a thread, but #peoplespop24 participants will recognize my No. 1, which finally got a proper, "official" release in May.

1: "Ridin' out the Storm," Samantha Crain
📍: Shawnee, Oklahoma
For fans of: Americana
Bit of a cheat, since it got an advance release and was @helenenen.bsky.social's nom for the #peoplespop24 poll (thanks for introducing me!), but Crain's full album is out now & it's great.

2b - "America," Charley Crockett (2024)
One of my favorites of 2024 that barely missed the cut for all the BlueSky year-end postings I did, including #PeoplesPop24. A much more tonally appropriate take on the subject matter given the current state of things, sorry Neil. youtu.be/aK89bntEg5w?...

Got blocked by a previous mutual and Peoples Pop regular for saying the #peoplespop24 indie playlist was a bit shit (while calling out his main as one of the exceptions!). You'll understand I hold you at least partially responsible.

Hot on the heels of #PeoplesPop24 I've put together a three-hour mix of my favourites from 2024. It's very pop / singles-based as that's all I've really heard, and features almost no speech/news clips, so calling it a "preview mix" - enjoy!

My latest Eardrums playlist, "The sky is blue; so is the car." The adventure of putting the beat not necessarily where it's expected. Includes several #PeoplesPop24 standouts.

(And Grandaddy had a decent album last year- I almost dropped a turd in the #peoplespop24 punchbowl by nominating a song for my token geezer track)

OK one final bit of #peoplespop24 NERD SHIT because I can't believe I actually bothered to do this analysis BUT
I split the final group results by "voted for Roan" and "didn't vote for Roan"
In the ROAN-POSITIVE group "Espresso" came 3rd and made the final.
In the ROAN-NEGATIVE one it came 37th

🏆HIP-HOP 1/4
The biggest news/pop-culture story in rap for... years, surely? And a track so brutal its subject sued his own record label.
