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.

Big announcement here. We are going to be doing

another dance party. Our last party, Main Pop Girls, was such a huge success last month that we

decided we want to revive the party and do it again. So Main Pop Girls will be making a return

to Parkside Lounge on October 4th on a Friday. The first batch of tickets are 10 bucks.

I will be there all night DJing all your favorite main pop girls, Sabrina, Charlie, Chapel,

and old faves like Rihanna, Beyonce, etc. So I hope to see all of my New York girlies on October

4th for main pop girls at Parkside Lounge. I sincerely cannot wait for that.

Also, we have a live show coming up on September 30th at Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles.

The show is called Katie Gaga and the millennial diva conundrum. I will be joined live on stage by

Molly Mary O'Brien, Molly Lambert, Jay Lonnie Turner Williams, and Michael Wood for a discussion of Katie Perry's 143, Gaga's new music, and Folly Addu, and so much more about these enduring millennial divas that mean so much to all of us. It's going to be such a fun discussion. Tickets are available at poppanthianpod.com or in the show notes of this episode. I can't wait to see you all in Los Angeles. Also, of course, gorgeous, gorgeous is happening September 13th, a week from Friday at the Sultan Room in Bushwick and on September 27th at Los Globos and Silver Lake, tickets for both of those are also available to you all in the show notes of this episode.

This past week, we dove deep on Sabrina Carpenter's short and sweet, so you don't want to miss

that episode. Okay, before we get into everything today, I need to issue an apology correction.

Please forgive me from our mailbag episode a couple of weeks ago.

The amount of people, English majors, professors, people that enjoy the English language

who have written into me to correct me on where I gleaned the term er text from. I gave a smug definition of it on the podcast

and I was wrong about it. The word er text, which I use in the podcast periodically, actually

is spelled UR-T-E-X-T and it means an original or earliest version of a text to which later versions can be

compared. That is the way I have been using it on the show, but the definition I looked up was not
