The names printed in the biggest type, trusted to send everyone home.

  1. 1Lorde15The NZ art-pop auteur is brooding, minimal, and generation-defining, back on a headline stage where the whispered verses hit hardest.
  2. 2Lewis Capaldi10Scotland's self-deprecating balladeer, who fills arenas with heartbreak delivered between stand-up-quality banter.
  3. 3Charli xcx9Pop's reigning vanguardist and the brat era's architect, bringing club-pop chaos to the main stage as a decade of underground experiments finally cashes out at scale.
  4. 4sombr9Moody, reverb-soaked alt-pop from a Manhattan teenager who went from bedroom demos to festival bills: heartbreak at streaming scale.
  5. 5Twenty One Pilots8Genre-agnostic arena duo (rap, ukulele, and existential dread) with a devoted Clique and lore deep enough for a wiki.
  6. 6Gorillaz7Damon Albarn's animated universe is a genre-omnivorous hits machine and guest-star carousel, two decades of cartoon cover for some of pop's best songwriting.
  7. 7Teddy Swims6A tattooed Georgian with a genuinely enormous soul voice, who covered his way to a following and then wrote the heartbreak records to match.
  8. 8OneRepublic5Ryan Tedder's arena pop-rock band: 'Apologize', 'Counting Stars' and a long run of piano-and-strings choruses built to fill a room.
  9. 9The Neighbourhood5Monochrome California moodiness: 'Sweater Weather' and a decade of slow-burn alt-pop, reunited for a generation that streamed them into legend.
  10. 10Alex Warren4'Ordinary' made the content-creator-turned-balladeer a genuine arena act, with big-lunged folk-pop hymns.

Most places played

Whose year reads like a world tour that happened to be made of festivals.

  1. 1Ninajirachi16Glittering, game-engine electronic from Australia's most inventive young club producer: chiptune sparkle at rave pressure, drops that sparkle as hard as they hit.
  2. 2sombr16Moody, reverb-soaked alt-pop from a Manhattan teenager who went from bedroom demos to festival bills: heartbreak at streaming scale.
  3. 3Blood Orange15Dev Hynes's velvety art-R&B, with '80s soul textures, jazz chords, and quiet heartbreak from one of pop's most sought-after collaborators.
  4. 4Lorde15The NZ art-pop auteur is brooding, minimal, and generation-defining, back on a headline stage where the whispered verses hit hardest.
  5. 5Adéla14Slovak pop singer with a club producer's sense of drama, writing hooks that sound built for a strobe.
  6. 6Snow Strippers14Lo-fi electroclash duo with distorted synths and detached vocals for the afterparty, Detroit cool for the post-everything generation.
  7. 7Slayyyter13Glitter-and-grit dance-pop: Y2K excess reborn as main-stage camp, played with total commitment to the fantasy.
  8. 8Balu Brigada12Kiwi brothers making slinky, falsetto-led alt-funk: Auckland groove-pop polished to a late-night sheen, with basslines that do most of the flirting.
  9. 9Frost Children12Sibling NYC hyperpop chaos agents, glitchy, funny, and relentless, with a live set that plays like a timeline scrolled at maximum speed.
  10. 10Lola Young12'Messy' made her unavoidable, with raw South London soul-pop, a busted-heart snarl and a voice that earns the Winehouse comparisons.

Most favorited by readers

The Pop artists people here actually listen to, booked or not.

  1. 1Olivia RodrigoGen-Z's laureate of the breakup, whose SOUR bedroom confessionals grew into GUTS pop-punk stadium catharsis.
  2. 2Charli xcxPop's reigning vanguardist and the brat era's architect, bringing club-pop chaos to the main stage as a decade of underground experiments finally cashes out at scale.
  3. 3Sylvan EssoAmelia Meath's plainspoken hooks over Nick Sanborn's modular synth pulses: Durham electronic pop that clicks in a club and still sings in a field.
  4. 4Sabrina CarpenterFormer Disney kid turned arena-filling pop force, trading in winking innuendo, retro-leaning production, and hooks engineered for maximum singalong, and fully caffeinated live.
  5. 5NinajirachiGlittering, game-engine electronic from Australia's most inventive young club producer: chiptune sparkle at rave pressure, drops that sparkle as hard as they hit.
  6. 6Ariana GrandePop singer with a whistle register she actually uses, working an R&B-leaning catalogue that stretches from Nickelodeon teen TV to stadium headline sets.
  7. 7Chappell RoanMissouri songwriter turned drag-inflected pop maximalist, pairing big synth choruses with full costume and greasepaint. 'Pink Pony Club,' 'Good Luck, Babe!'
  8. 8Paul SimonHalf of Simon & Garfunkel, then a solo catalogue that ran from 'Still Crazy After All These Years' through the South African sessions of Graceland.
  9. 9The 1975Manchester's self-aware pop provocateurs, with 80s gloss, terminally online lyrics, and a frontman who treats every show like performance art.
  10. 10Twenty One PilotsGenre-agnostic arena duo (rap, ukulele, and existential dread) with a devoted Clique and lore deep enough for a wiki.

Most saved to a plan

The Pop artists people are building a Saturday around.

  1. 1Blood OrangeDev Hynes's velvety art-R&B, with '80s soul textures, jazz chords, and quiet heartbreak from one of pop's most sought-after collaborators.
  2. 2King PrincessSwaggering queer pop-rock auteur with torch-song vocals, glam guitar, and arena-sized hooks about messy love, and '1950' is still the calling card.
  3. 3Simple PlanMontreal pop-punk that took the genre fully mainstream and has never pretended otherwise, with 'I'm Just a Kid' now two generations deep.
  4. 4Hot Chelle RaeNashville pop-rock with one enormous 2011 single and a reunion that leaned back into the guitars. 'Tonight Tonight' is still pure sugar.
  5. 5Set It OffTheatrical pop-rock with orchestral flourishes and a frontman who can genuinely belt, bringing Broadway instincts at Warped velocity.
  6. 63OH!3DONTTRUSTME and the rest of the MySpace-era catalog, played fully self-aware, with neon electro-rap chaos that has aged into a gleeful, shout-along riot live.
  7. 7Breathe CarolinaStarted as screamo-electro and ended up as a straight dance act, with both halves still showing up live as MySpace nostalgia collides with festival EDM.
  8. 8ParcelsDaft Punk-approved Aussie disco with immaculate grooves, live-band tightness, five-part harmonies over four-on-the-floor, played tight enough to pass a studio audit.
  9. 9Twenty One PilotsGenre-agnostic arena duo (rap, ukulele, and existential dread) with a devoted Clique and lore deep enough for a wiki.
  10. 10underscoresBay Area hyperpop auteur, glitchy, hooky and scene-defining, with 'Wallsocket' worldbuilding included and internet-native songwriting at its sharpest.
