@alovetrilogy @kylie_90s Reductive. Artists are influenced by artists from all genres. It’s not as easy as putting them into an overly simplistic ‘family tree’

@myfizzypop The Hex Hector mix is one of his best!

25 years since #BritneySpears released her fourth best single from her Oops I Did It Again opus - #DontLetMeBeTheLastToKnow (penned by #ShaniaTwain!) was released #onthisdayinpop in 2001! Peaked at number 12 in the UK, ending an opening run of 7 consecutive top ten hits!

@insidethegroove Act of Contrition

Name a Madonna song where the title isn’t in the lyric. I’ll start - ‘Bedtime Story’.

The David Morales remix of Dreamlover is where everything shifts.

House of Carey. How @MariahCarey turned remixes into an art form. open.spotify.com/playlist/1M1rz… #HouseMusic #PopMusic

Love at First Sight might be the purest example of house becoming pop.

House of Minogue. How Kylie refined house into pop perfection and made it her own. open.spotify.com/playlist/4b7sM… #HouseMusic #PopMusic

@insidethegroove @Madonna Fair point! That overstates it, especially in the UK. What I meant is that Madonna helped mainstream the language of house within pop. Vogue wasn’t the beginning of house going mainstream but it was a key crossover moment in pop’s relationship with it.

@andygoss @Madonna Not to diminish anything about Madonna’s greatness and Vogue in particular, but Madonna did NOT make house mainstream. In the UK at least, it had been huge. From Love Can’t Turn Around to Jack Your Body, huge chart topping house tracks had been around for four years already.

Starting with Madonna. Kylie next.

@SPIN Yes! This is when Madonna really came in to her own. Confident, grown-up pop music.

Best Madonna album?

@vocal_ism Just leaving these here …

September 1997 to September 1998 was the greatest year for female solo albums in music history. Rank them or pick your Top 5:
