Welcome to Pop Pantheon the podcast where we completely overanalyze all of your favorite pop stars and then rank them in the official Pop Pantheon.

This is your host, DJ Louis X. I hope everybody is having a fabulous holiday season and a very, very happy new year.

We will be back next week with brand new episodes.

But until that day, I decided that this would be a fun opportunity to play back for you

an oldie but a goodie,

an episode that I really love that maybe newer listeners of the show have missed

or older listeners might want to revisit.

This is our episode on Abba that was with Abba expert, Abba academic.

Carl Magnus Palm, it was one of my favorite episodes we've ever done of the show.

He was such a font of knowledge on Abba, and I learned so much. And Magnus Palm. It was one of my favorite episodes we've ever done of the show. He was such a font of knowledge on Abba and I learned so much. And obviously Abba rules, such an important part of the pop pantheon. So I thought I'd put this on the main feed once again just as a revisit as a kickoff the new year, pop foundations, 2026 foundations. I don't know. That's the intersection I was thinking of. And it's just a great episode. And I had so much fun re-listening to it. So I hope you enjoy this. Happy 2026. And we will

see you next week. Welcome to Pop Pantheon, the podcast where we completely overanalyze all of your favorite pop stars and then rank them in the official Pop Pantheon.

I am your host, DJ Louis XIV. Hi, everybody. So glad to have you back for another episode. Before I dive in to this week's topic, a few quick housekeeping things up top.

First, tomorrow night, April 22nd is the premiere of my new party in Los Angeles. It's called Gorgeous, gorgeous.

I know you've heard me plug this before. And baby, it is sold out. Well, let me put it this way the online pre-sail is sold out we will

have a limited number of tickets at the door so if you couldn't nab your ticket in advance and you're

in l.A you should still come grab a ticket at the door if you can grab one if you can't worst

case scenario the venue has an amazing outdoor seating area that you don't need a ticket for so

definitely shoot your shot you miss every shot you don't take, all right? I'm so excited for this party. It's going to be so much fun. So see you there. And also, there's going to be more of them. So I will keep you all posted on that. Now, I want to continue our great tradition of reading some spectacular reviews from this week. first up. This is from RR. RIP 24, and the title is Found My People. Oh, I love that. All my life, I've been a low-key, amateur pop music nerd that has always obsessed over the behind-the-scenes, production, culture, or minutia that makes my favorite pop artists fly or flop. Imagine the delight when I found a podcast that was right at my alley. I've absolutely

binged multiple episodes at a time and have loved every minute. With that said, please, please,

please give a Kelly Clarkson episode apart from an American Idol episode. Dying to hear your thoughts

on her musical highs and lows. Welp, without saying anything, don't worry about it.

Okay?
