Mis-Teeq "Lickin' On Both Sides" is 25 - A Classic, or Just a "One Night Stand"?
Saison 5 · Épisode 40
vendredi 25 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:29:10
Mis-Teeq "Lickin' on Both Sides" turns 25, and Chris and Chantel give the debut a full track-by-track honest review, from the singles you know by heart to the deep cuts. This is the album that fused R&B and UK garage into pop and proved a British girl group could sound like no one else.
We go song by song through the standard album, rating production, vocals, visuals, and performances, and finishing with a Cut or Keep. Along the way we untangle why nearly every single exists in three different versions, and dig into the stories behind them: "One Night Stand" as Stargate's first big break years before Rihanna and Beyoncé, the Sunship garage smash "All I Want," the So Solid Crew link on "They'll Never Know," and "Why?", the only Mis-Teeq song featuring original fourth member Zena McNally, who returned to the stage for the group's reunion.
Speaking of which, we get into the 25th anniversary Wembley show and the drama that followed once the reunion fell apart. Alesha Dixon, Sabrina Washington, and Su-Elise Nash made a real UK garage classic. Does it still hold up 25 years on?

Melanie C (aka Sporty Spice) sits down with CCTV: The Nonstop Pop Show backstage at Webster Hall in New York City, a few shows into her Sweat tour, for an honest, music-first interview about her journey from the Spice Girls to her ninth solo album, “Sweat”. Two lifelong superfans take her from co-writing the Spice Girls catalogue, through the highs and hard times of going solo, to the joy and reinvention of the “Sweat” era.
Melanie C opens up about learning to write songs inside the Spice Girls, finding her identity outside Sporty Spice on “Northern Star”, revisiting “Forever”, going fully independent after leaving Virgin for “Beautiful Intentions”, falling in love with dance music and DJing, and why “Sweat” feels like the sweet spot of her whole career. Plus, we hand her our cheeky business-card question (is "Wannabe" one of the Spice Girls' worst songs?) and she defends it herself before naming the Spice and solo deep cuts fans have slept on. And of course, we ask the big one: what will it take to finally get the unreleased track “W.O.M.A.N” released?

&TEAM "Mark on Me" Review: Is The Title Track the Worst Song on the Mini Album?
Saison 5 · Épisode 38
vendredi 11 septembre 2026 • Durée 42:52
&TEAM are back with their second Korean EP "Mark on Me," and we're breaking down all six tracks. On this track-by-track unfiltered review, Chris and Chan give an honest review of the whole werewolf-in-love concept record, going track by track from the Benson Boone co-written title song to the b-sides fans are calling the real highlights.
We get into whether "Mark on Me" earns its title-track spot, the vocal performances that might be the group's best yet, and the "too short" problem hanging over the whole EP. We break down "Good Boy" (yes, all five members of CORTIS have writing credits), the retro '90s R&B of "Love Jang," the groove of "Accelerate," the ballad "Empty," and the pop-punk closer "Night to howl!" Then it's Cut or Keep on the full EP.

Is Girls Aloud "Tangled Up" the Best Pop Album of 2007?
Saison 5 · Épisode 37
vendredi 4 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:26:21
Chris and Chantel finally dig into the 2007 album “Tangled Up” - the imperial-phase peak of Girls Aloud and Xenomania.
From the electropop of "Call the Shots" and the Nazareth-sampling "Sexy! No No No..." to the smooth-jazz swerve of "Can't Speak French," the reggae oddity "Control of the Knife," and the drum and bass experiment "What You Crying For," this is the record where Britain's biggest girl group finally got the recognition they deserved. We break down the production, the lore, the singles, and the deep cuts, plus the genre-hopping that makes “Tangled Up” their most acclaimed album.

SF9 "Without Wings": Does the Tenth Anniversary Song Deliver?
Saison 5 · Épisode 36
jeudi 3 septembre 2026 • Durée 20:43
SF9 are back with "Without Wings," the Afrobeats-rooted title track from their 10th anniversary album TENACITY, and we're giving it an honest review across the song, the music video, and the performance. We break down whether a breezy summer groove was the right call for a decade-milestone comeback, how the "soar without wings" concept plays against the laid-back sound, the wing-inspired choreography, and the Afrobeats-in-K-pop question, then hand down our Keep or Cut verdict on the title track plus a quick radar on the rest of TENACITY.
SF9 (Youngbin, Inseong, Jaeyoon, Dawon, Hwiyoung, and Chani) are promoting this comeback as a six-member lineup, with Zuho and Yoo Taeyang currently completing their mandatory military service. The group debuted in 2016 under FNC Entertainment and is marking ten years with anniversary concerts at KBS Arena in Seoul. Fan-first, editorially honest, no gatekeeping.

FLO "THERAPY AT THE CLUB": Are FLO the Best Girl Group Right Now?
Saison 5 · Épisode 35
vendredi 28 août 2026 • Durée 01:45:13
FLO's sophomore album “Therapy at the Club” might be the most slept-on girl group record of the year, and on this episode we're breaking down every single track. This is our full, honest review of “Therapy at the Club”, going song by song from "Side Effects" to "Haterbooth" to figure out if FLO just delivered a sophomore album that beats their Grammy-nominated debut “Access All Areas”.
We get into the hidden story running through the whole record (this "night out" album is secretly a breakup detox, and the real love story is the friendship), the Juicy J verse everyone's arguing about on "Pose," the "Leak It" and "Remedied" video universe, and the big question: are FLO the best girl group working right now, and why aren't they bigger?

KATSEYE "Wild"...or Not So Much
Saison 5 · Épisode 34
vendredi 21 août 2026 • Durée 01:20:49
KATSEYE dropped “WILD”, their third EP, and we went track by track for an honest review... and this might be the most critical we have ever been about them. We are rooting for KATSEYE….Biggest group in pop right now, a sold-out world tour, an Ed Sheeran co-write, a lost Charli XCX song reborn, and yet the actual music keeps coming up beneath what these women deserve.
Chris, Chantel and guest host Jasmine break down every track from the meme-hyperpop of "Pinky Up" to the deeply divisive "Hootie Frutti," the Y2K bounce of "That Way," and Lara's self-produced bonus "Unloveu." The question we keep circling: with a machine this expensive behind them, why does so much of “WILD” sound so disposable?
Sophia and Manon are both on hiatus…where do KATSEYE go from here?

Dannii Minogue "Neon Nights" - Her Imperial Pop Era, 20 Years On
Saison 5 · Épisode 33
vendredi 14 août 2026 • Durée 01:27:14
Dannii Minogue's "Neon Nights" turns 20, and we're finally sitting down with it start to finish. This is our first time listening to the 2003 album in full, and we go track by track through every song for an honest review of what holds up, what got slept on, and whether this really is the lost pop classic its fans have been calling it for two decades.
From the club hits "Put the Needle on It," "I Begin to Wonder" and "Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling" to deep cuts like "Mystified," "Push" and "A Piece of Time," we break down the production, the songwriting, the samples, and the stories behind the record Dannii Minogue made when everyone thought her music career was over. We cover the Stockholm and Paris sessions, the Madonna "Into the Groove" sample she cleared for the "Don't Wanna Lose This Groove" mashup, the early credit from a now-massive hitmaker hiding on the tracklist, and why London Records handed her a six-album deal and only ever released one. Fans of Kylie Minogue, Madonna and early 2000s dance-pop will find a lot to love here. Then we give every track our Cut or Keep verdict.
Was "Neon Nights" the pop album we all missed in 2003? Press play and find out.

Pussycat Dolls "PCD" Album - More Than Just "Don't Cha"?
Saison 5 · Épisode 32
vendredi 7 août 2026 • Durée 01:23:37
The Pussycat Dolls debut album "PCD" gets the full track by track treatment on CCTV: The Nonstop Pop Show, and the timing could not be bigger. With the PCD Forever reunion tour underway and the group just announcing their first-ever Brazil date in São Paulo, Chris and Chan revisit the 2005 album that started it all with an honest review of every single track.
This is the record that gave us "Don't Cha," "Buttons," "Stickwitu," and "Beep," and turned a burlesque troupe into a global chart machine. We break down the production, the Nicole vs. the rest of the group tension baked into the album, the ballad detours, and the deep cuts nobody talks about anymore. Every song gets our unfiltered opinion and a Cut or Keep verdict, no skips.
Twenty years later, with Nicole, Kimberly, and Ashley back on the road, does "PCD" actually hold up?

Spice Girls: From "Forever" to the 2026 Reunion Mess | POP 101 Part 3
Saison 5 · Épisode 31
vendredi 31 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:12:55
The Spice Girls have spent 25 years almost getting back together. In this POP 101 finale, we break down the quiet end of the group, the R&B pivot, the scrapped third album, and “Forever”, the 2000 album that ended their imperial run. Then every reunion since: the 2007 Return of the Spice Girls tour, the 2012 Olympics (the last time all five performed together), the Viva Forever musical, the 2019 Spice World tour without Victoria, and Geri's emotional Wembley apology.
