The Best Pop Albums of the 2020s So Far (with Joe Coscarelli, Aisha Harris & Mic The Snare)

Update: 2025-01-23

Description

Somehow, we're halfway through the 2020s, which makes it the perfect time to stock: what have been the best pop albums of this decade so far and what do they tell us about the state of both the album and music more broadly in 2025? The New York Times' Joe Coscarelli, NPR's Aisha Harris and YouTuber Mic The Snare join DJ Louie to discuss all of that, before each sharing their top 5 albums of the 2020s so far.

Come to our dance party Main Pop Girls on 2/1 at Parkside Lounge in NYC!
