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 the 14th. And this is not only a B-side episode,

but a special emergency queen B-side episode because the pop world has been ignited by the release

of the first Beyonce album lead single in over six years.

We're going to be getting into Break My Soul in this episode.

You guys might know it.

It's called Eat, Pray, Brittany.

It's a podcast hosted by two huge Brittany fans, Lisa and Jacqueline, and I got to go on there

and talk a lot about Britney's legacy, her influences, who she's influenced, kind of just a

the show notes for this episode. And you should go check that out. It was a really, really fun

going nuts about the new Beyonce song, both before it

came out and after it came out. I actually felt like I was really on the ball with like a lot of
