S8E5 - Pop Singer-Songwriters, Part II: P!nk (Overrated) & Annie (Underrated)

Over/underrated: a music podcast with Fran and Babs

We're back in the world of pop, having previously discussed Billie Eilish and Charli xcx last season (and Charli xcx's BRAT in this season too)!

The two playlists for this episode were created by Pop Underrated, whose Linktree you should check out.

P!nk is currently ranked as Spotify's 100th most-popular artist in the world - she has gone through many musical phases and is more outspoken than the average pop star, especially as she started in the noughties...but how do we feel about some of her hits?

Referred by some as "Norwegian Kylie", underrated pick Annie straddles the pop, electro and indie worlds with ease - however, in the more siloed music world of the noughties, her resistance to categorisation may have hindered her success - which is a shame, given how many pop bangers she clearly has under her belt...
