I didn’t understand what a boost was - but now I see that two of my previous #PeoplesPop25 Challenge posts should have been labelled as boosts (I think!)

[7/7]

I love the way Wednesday take filthy guitars and combine them with pedal steel twang
#PeoplesPop25 Day 5. "Reality TV Argument Bleeds" by Wednesday

I truly do like "Elderberry Wine" but it being the lead single for this album did make me worry that Wednesday were going Tasteful Country Rock for the whole album. This being the first track on Bleeds dispelled that nice and quick.

Is there too much hype around Geese? Does that matter? Should I pick 100 Horses to help it get in the draw? Am I overthinking this?!

Staying true to myself, I just love Getting Killed, it’s great :)

I try not to throw around Prince comparisons willy-nilly but, to my ears, Another Baby by Dijon is a modern take on the Sign O The Times sound - and ignoring any clunky comparisons, it’s one of the funkiest songs of the year

Just realised that I’ve mentioned the album on every entry so far - and that’s not what this is about, is it?!

One artist who didn’t even release an album this year was Our Chappell - she was phenomenal at Leeds Fest and The Subway was a standout

Maybe there are other tracks on Lotus which are “better” but not many things in 2025 grabbed me as strongly as this slightly unhinged character play from Little Simz

New Shoes by jasmine.4.t - the oldest song on YATM - but the 2025 version, boosted by the presence of boygenius is a different beast. When the guitar kicks in on “let’s make a family” is the [moment on a track which most gave me goosebumps] of the year

I am late to the #PeoplesPop25 party but my [1/?] is Mirtazapine by Hayley Williams - there are several outstanding tracks on Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party - but a bona fide rock anthem about a prescription tetracyclic antidepressant? Yes, please!
