Greatest Pop Stars Podcast: 2024 Nos. 6-3: Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, Chappell Roan & Taylor Swift


Our Nos. 6-3 Greatest Pop Stars of 2024 Podcast looks at the years in Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, Chappell Roan and Taylor Swift.

On our latest episode, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard Pride editor Stephen Daw and staff writer Hannah Dailey to talk about our Nos. We share our memories of the impossible highs of Brat Summer, and what it was about this era of Charli’s — and how it kept expanding and evolving over those months — that made her truly unignorable in the larger pop culture. We talk about what it means for pop stardom in general in 2024 that someone once believed to be primarily be a niche artist like Roan could unquestionably become one of the biggest stars in the world, and we marvel at how she was able to dominate the year while only releasing one new song.
