babble POP!

Packing an hour full of bangers from across the world always promises for a good time. But this week, it really is a humdinger of a show.

Michael and Io keep you dancing from start to finish with some bops and bangers that you won’t hear anywhere else on Australian radio.

And we love it.

babblePOP! landed on JOY on 11 January 2014, sharing pop and dance from around the world in languages other than English for the first time.

Twelve years later, we’re still going strong. And to celebrate 400 episodes, Michael and Io share some bangers from the decade in which they were 12. Michael takes you back to the 1990s, while Io settles into the 2010s with major bops.

The babble returns for Season 13 in June 2026.

As the sun sets on another year, we can’t forget the bangers that have lit up our radios and made love to our ears during season number 12.

Michael and Io try their best to limit themselves to just a dozen songs that illustrate just how good pop music is when it’s not in English.

Presenting the best of babble for 2025… but don’t limit yourself to just these 12. Relive the whole season via the pod.
