How do you know to listen to Taylor Swift or whatever? In the last century it was easy to be in sync: you could just watch MTV. Is there something keeping the notion of pop coherent these days?
- joshbode 7y agoNot exactly pop, but there are some great weekly music podcasts that I listen to to hear new music, which tend to be a little more indie pop/rock/${genre} than pop :) - Music That Matters: https://omny.fm/shows/kexp-presents-music-that-matters/playlists/podcast.rss https://omny.fm/shows/kexp-presents-music-that-matters/playl... - KEXP Song of the Day: https://omny.fm/shows/kexp-song-of-the-day https://omny.fm/shows/kexp-song-of-the-day - All Songs Considered: https://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=510019 https://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=510019 - KCRW Today's Top Tune: https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/todays-top-tune/rss.xml https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/todays-top-tune/rss.xml

The Billboard Hot 100 also lists popular western music if you just want a list to review on your own. I’d argue it’s easier now to stay in sync than even when MTV was popular. MTV you needed a cable subscription and be sitting at a TV, now SiriusXM or Apple/Google/Spotify can stream it right to your phone laptop or tablet, and regular FM radio will play it on the local Top 40 station.
