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 a very special episode about the Grammys.

But before we get into that, I just want to thank everybody who's been leaving ratings

As I've mentioned, we are doing a contest where you can request an artist who you'd
