Summary
In this week's B-Side episode, DJ Louie reflects on a year of Pop Pantheon, shares how the podcast got started and offers a refresher on all of the tiers, how they work and if they've changed or been refined as the show has progressed. He then goes through all of the 31 artists ranked so far, decides if he still agrees with his ranking or if any artist's standing in the Pop Pantheon has shifted since the episodes originally aired.

| 0:00.0 | 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. |
| 0:18.1 | I am your host, DJ Louis the 14th. |
| 0:23.7 | Quickly up top, make sure that you follow us on social media at Pop Pantheon pod. Follow me at DJ L-O-U-I-E-X-I-V on both Twitter and |

| 0:40.0 | And please get in the comment section on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review. Let us know who you'd like to see |
| 0:45.8 | featured on the podcast. I know the contest is over, but we still like to hear from everybody |
| 0:50.2 | about who you'd like to see us do episodes on. So get in the comments, leave us a rating, |
| 0:54.5 | leave a rating on Spotify. And with all of that said, let's get into this week's B-side episode, |
| 1:01.3 | which is our new name for them. These are going to be what we call the off-week episodes from now on. |
| 1:07.8 | What I'm envisioning these as are episodes that cover things that are somewhat |
| 1:12.8 | tangential or related to the pantheon, not about necessarily like covering an entire artist's |
| 1:18.8 | career like the main episodes do, but provide some sort of added layers or textures to our |
| 1:23.7 | understanding of pop and thus of the pop pantheon. So as you know in the past, we've done |
| 1:28.0 | episodes on Super Bowl performances. We've done episodes on the Grammys. We've done episodes on |
| 1:32.6 | albums that have come out by artists that we've already covered. So I can see these going |
| 1:36.9 | lots of different ways, but that's what these are going to be besides to the Pop Pantheon, |
| 1:42.4 | if that makes sense. For this week's's episode we've been getting like inundated |
| 1:47.0 | with people that want us to reflect on or share an update on all of the rankings we've done so far |
| 1:54.0 | and like get a refresher a little bit on the tier system so that's what this episode's going to be |
| 1:59.3 | about it's going to be about refreshing people on what the tier system is, how it works, and also reflecting on literally |
| 2:05.6 | all the artists that we've ranked so far in the Pantheon. Before I get into explaining |
| 2:10.2 | any more, I want to welcome podcast helper. What are we calling you these days, Russ? |
