Send us a text Today's episode of Rate My Bop is a deep-dive into the generation-defining album of 2024 "Brat" by Charli XCX - her sixth studio album, and the record that shot her into superstardom (and brought us all BRAT SUMMER!) This was such a fun episode to record and one of Becky and Paul's all time favourite albums to discuss in the history of the show! We also LOVED reading Charli's Manifesto and all her pre-launch hopes and dreams... Are you vibing with Brat? Let us know! TWITTER/X...
Send us a text Surprise! We are dropping a random episode out the blue (because why not?!), chatting all about one of the more impactful albums of the current zeitgeist - "The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess" by Chappell Roan. We have been watching Chappell's rise to fame over the past few years and had so much to say about her debut collection of songs - but one question remains. Will we ever be able to pronounce "femininomenon"? (Spoiler alert: no). Are you a certified member of The Pin...
Send us a text THE TIME HAS COME MY FRIENDS - today we are deep diving into Taylor Swift's absolutely epic eleventh studio album "The Tortured Poets Department" (The Anthology edition!)

Send us a text It's the second album of our April Triple Bill - the deluxe edition of Olivia Rodrigo's latest release, "Guts (Spilled)"! Becky grew up with 90's female singer/songwriters whereas Paul did not, so did this affect our score at all? We love chatting about our different influences and how this affects our current music tastes. So get ready for chats on rrriot girl culture and teen angst galore! Are you an Olivia superfan or have you long outgrown your teen years? Let us kn...
Send us a text The final episode of our April Triple Bill is a discussion of "Eternal Sunshine", the seventh studio album by pop powerhouse Ariana Grande.

Send us a text Are you ready to make FETCH happen? OK, good, well get in losers because we're talking about the Mean Girls 2024 movie soundtrack!! Who slayed their vocals and who left a lot to be desired? How did the new movie measure up with the original? And how excited are we to see this show on the West End after listening to the soundtrack?! (The answer is very.) Do you love this movie or are you an OG Mean Girls purist? Also, was Meg Thee Stallion being too mean with her reference to....
Send us a text Today's episode is a very in-depth discussion on Ed Sheeran's sixth studio album "Subtract" and our feelings on the lyrical content, as well as Ed's new documentary on Disney Plus. This was a difficult one to review as we haven't been too sure on Ed's approach to this album, but we do think he's incredibly talented and has clearly had a lot of emotions to work through on this album. What do you think of the album and documentary? Do you connect with Ed's new songs? Let us kno...
Send us a text In today's episode, Paul and Becky are reviewing the soundtrack "Aurora" by the fictional band Daisy Jones & The Six from the recent Amazon Prime adaptation of the same name.

Come and join us on a retro 70s-inspired journey... Did these songs hit the mark for you??! Join the conversation on our social media:...
