Episode 538: Tournament of 2010s Pop Artists

When it comes to tournaments, this isn’t the First of the Year, but Ain’t It Fun to do a bracket for popular music of the 2010s? Some of these bands found International Love, some are only famous because of TiK ToK, and some still Run the World, but we’re going to Carry On and Try Everything to compare them to one another. Joel, Kent, and Zack are Shameless about not knowing some of these artists, but the Boys are going to Try not to be Shallow. They’re going to give Attention where it is due, Work to not be the Bad Guy, make difficult decisions with Finesse, and do our best to not give you a Heart Attack as we draw Closer to deciding which hitmaker is ultimately Unstoppable. We’ll finish up this bracket when we See You Again. Boom Clap! Press play. Don’t be a Sucker, visit Baconsale.com to download the official bracket and find our Spotify Supercut playlist of songs featured in this episode.
