Christine and the Queens 'La vita nuova' (A. G. Cook Remix), Chloe x Halle 'Do It [Remix]' (ft Doja Cat, City Girls & Mulatto), Dua Lipa 'Pretty Please' (Masters at Work Remix), Disclosure with Kehlani & Syd 'Birthday' (MJ Cole Remix) and Katy Perry 'Smile' (Giorgio Moroder Remix). 

Plus we get into Dua Lipa's 'Club Future Nostalgia' remix album as a whole, the gay backlash that went along with it, and underdog Katy Perry's full 'Smile' album too.

Hi all, 

We’d like all hands on deck to decide if these stupid songs from recent history are cancelled. Did they miss the cancellation wave? Are they valid now? 

Here's the hit list: ‘Hello Kitty’ (Avril Lavigne), ‘We Can’t Stop’ (Miley Cyrus), ‘Aura/Burqa’ (Lady Gaga), ‘Stupid Girls’ (Pink) and 'Ur So Gay' (Katy Perry). 

Make your calls and hit play. We’ll need your answers by EOD. 

Best, 

Josh and Juan from HR.

Josh and Juan are back to talk about how STANS interact with the rest of culture, from the doxxing of Pitchfork employees to their influence on marketing slang... from the power of Taylor's Swifties to the rebuking of AjayII by Gaga's Little Monsters... from Sky Ferriera Updates throwing in the towel to @chartdata eclipsing Billboard itself. It's all the moment and it's all connected... BTS Army do your thing.
