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 I want to

remind you to please rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast wherever you're listening to it now.

Follow us on social at Pop Pantheon Pod. I'm at DJ, L-O-U-I-E-X-I-V. Our merch is available at

poppantheonpod.com. And our Patreon channel, where we do weekly bonus episodes of the show, is available at

You can also gift this subscription for the holidays.

So if you have a fan of Pop Pantheon in your life and you're thinking, what do I get

them for Hanukkah, Kwanza, Christmas, whatever.

You just because you love them. You can actually gift Pop Anthion's Patreon. And the link for that

is also in the show notes of this episode. And a reminder that gorgeous, gorgeous New Year's

Eve is happening at the Sultan Room in Bushwick. It is called Y2 Gay. It is a celebration of the last 25 years of pop music. It's going to be so much fun. Tickets for that are available in the show notes of this episode as well. I'll, of course, be DJing. The earlier you get your tickets, the cheaper they'll be. So I hope to see you for Y2 Gay, 25 years of pop, to in 2025 together. So today is a very important episode.

This is our last main episode of this year. We'll be publishing a couple little treats on

scheduled programming on January 9th with your new regular episodes. Of course, that does not

apply for patrons. Patrons will be getting new content every single week, always, no matter what.

So that's just a little housekeeping. And to wrap up this year, we're doing a yearly

tradition episode, which is our annual.
