Me? I consider popular music anything that'll place me in a decent state of mind. When I need to get away from the existential fear of our present reality, I go for some Charli XCX, some Troye Sivan—anything that will trigger the joy focuses of my mind as opposed to devastating uneasiness. Particularly in 2018, it takes some truly extraordinary melodic ability to make anybody glad. Along these lines, hone some idealism with the best pop tunes of 2018.
