All good things must come to and end – *sniff* – and  the Popchops boys are bidding farewell to their JOY live shows to go it alone as a solo podcast, monthly club night and, quite frankly, a whole lot more.

To commemorate, Dan and Andy will be breaking down their fave break-up jams from the likes of Paloma Faith, Kelly Clarkson, Charli XCX, Hilary Duff and Queen of Gloom Lana Del Rey.

Popchops is going on a (1D style) hiatus for six weeks but will be back on a new Apple Podcasts stream bigger and brighter than ever. Stay tuned to our social media for the new link!

Bring your Kleanex, bitches, it’s time to get emoshe up in here.

In this bonus episode, Dan & Andy dissect Harry Styles’ Sign of the Times. As the member of One Direction with the biggest name recognition & the brightest shining light, Harry suffered the most amount of pressure when it finally came time to release his solo material.

Released from the shackles of his former boy-band prison, Harry delved into sixties British rock, influenced by Queen and David Bowie, forming a record born out of Bowie’s death and how it affected the pop climate in 2017.

If the new pop norm in this political climate is artists looking outwards in their lyric writing, then Harry Styles is no exception. Gone are the happy-go-lucky sugar pop jams of One Direction’s beginning, and hello to a woke, authentic Harry Styles.

Sorry we’re late poppers – the Popchops HQ has been buzzing lately and we’ve totally neglected to bring you new tunes since February. Not on. Quite frankly, we have a lot to catch up on.

Dan and Andy break down their fave bangers from March through to May featuring fresh jams from happy hippy Miley Cyrus, broodstress Selena Gomez, underrated Swede Tove Styrke and struggling chanteuses Iggy Azalea and Katy Perry.

These tunes are perfect, they’re beautiful, they sound like Banger Evangelistas and they’re coming to you.

It’s Popchops’ Radiothon extravaganza so Dan and Andy, like Lindsay before them, get ‘a little more personal (raw)’. They look back at their coming out experiences, the anthems that got them through and prove why #WeStillNeedJoy.

They’re joined by Aussie singer/songwriter/popstar Greg Gould to chat about being LGBT in the music biz, and to help break down empowerment anthems from Björk, MIKA, Tina Arena, Diana Ross & quite frankly a whole lot more.

They’ve also taken to the Twittersphere to find out the tunes that gave our listeners LIFE as baby gays, so tune in to hear musings from around the globe (and some very sexy British accents I must say).

It’s time to get ya pride on and loosen those wallets for a brand new Popchops X Radiothon edition.

It’s all about 2002 – the year when Britney and Xtina backlash was rife and pop fans started to crave something a lil’ more ‘complicated’.

So tune up your acoustic guitars and secure those neckties & studded cuffs for a brand new Popchops.
