    my 5 picks for the best pop albums of all time:
    1) Purple Rain - Prince
    2) Charli - Charli XCX
    3) Post - Bjork
    4) Hounds of Love - Kate Bush
    5) Violator - Depeche Mode

      The Charli is great but people need to chill with GOAT allegations. The recency bias is immense and if it’s a top 5/10 to you then imo you should diversify your collection.

    Don't listen to a lot of pop, but here's what I love (not in any order):
    Songs From the Big Chair- tears for fears
    Purple Rain- Prince and the Revolution
    Thriller- Michael Jackson
    Pet Sounds- Beach Boys
    After Hours- The Weeknd (Not only pop, but it has some pop songs so I count it)
    Future Nostalgia- Dua Lipa

    Thriller has to be the one, but can’t lie, George Michael’s Faith deserves high praise and can be number 2. You know why? GM literally was only outsold in the 80s by MJ. Plus, that album is massive. The Fame Monster was her best era. Bad Romance is still her biggest moment and universally loved hit. Definitely her best album.
