One of my favorite categories, pop music is an ever-evolving genre that invites listeners to incorporate new sounds and ideas into standard forms while still making sure it remains accessible and, often, danceable. When you get tired of the art-housey stuff recommended on other lists, here are ten of the best from the year that might move you and definitely get you moving:
Mabel: About Last Night… // SZA: SOS
The Weeknd: Dawn FM // Charli XCX: CRASH
Avril Lavigne: Love Sux // Neon Nox: Payback
Ella Mai: Heart on My Sleeve // Carly Rae Jepsen: The Loneliest Time
WILLOW: <COPING MECHANISM> // Lizzo: Special
