The pulse of
pop, every week.
Pop Talk breaks down the charts, the drops, the collabs and the drama — everything happening in pop music right now, told straight and unfiltered.
What the show
is all about.
A weekly deep dive into everything moving pop music right now.
Pop Talk started as a Friday night group chat about chart positions and streaming numbers, and grew into a full weekly show. Every episode, Nino and Maggy sit down to go through what actually happened in pop that week — the singles fighting for the top spot, the comebacks nobody predicted, and the collabs that blew up online.
It's not a highlight reel. Pop Talk digs into the numbers behind the headlines — streaming data, credits, release strategy — while keeping the conversation loose enough to actually enjoy. New listeners usually start with the latest episode and end up going back through the archive the same weekend.
Chart-driven
Every episode starts from what's actually moving — streaming numbers, radio adds, sales — not just what's trending on social.
Unfiltered takes
Nino and Maggy say what they actually think about a release, even when it's not the popular opinion in the group chat.
Weekly, no exceptions
A new episode lands every Friday, so you're never more than a week behind on what's happening in pop.
