Where Is The Song of the Summer? Plus, Songs That Almost Ruin Classic Pop Albums

This week on The Pop Pod, I’m on the hunt for the elusive Song of the Summer — but where is it? From Alex Warren’s viral heat to Lady Gaga’s reanissance, Ravyn Lenae’s breakout to Bad Bunny’s latest drop, there are a few contenders, but it’s shaping up to be a much more melancholic summer than usual. I dive into why 2025 hasn't delivered an obvious contender yet and what that says about the pop landscape. Plus: I review Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour, and react to your picks for the biggest skips on classic pop albums.
