Our 11th Anniversary!

Dear Poptastic Readers,

 

Today, this little music blog celebrates its 11th anniversary. We are very proud of what we have accomplished in the last 11 years. We highlight new music that gets overlooked by the masses, whether it be independent artists, veteran artists, or artists from other countries. We prove time and time again that there is much more to pop music than mainstream radio.



Poptastic Confessions was founded by Davearama, a self-proclaimed lover of unpopular pop music. The blog was originally called Davearama’s Guide to Poptastic Music, but he changed the name to take the focus away from him. Plus, we have had various contributors over the years.

 


We’ve been able to feature some interviews of our favourite artists over the years. We need to do more, and we hope to do more. In the meantime, check out these interviews that we have featured …



Annikafiore formerly of Alcazar

Ani Saunders (AKA Ani Glass) formerly of The Pipettes

Gwenno formerly of The Pipettes

 

*The original interviews were done by Davearama for 

Pop Life, The Unofficial Bananarama Fanzine



For our 10th anniversary last year, several artists sent us videos wishing us a happy 10th anniversary. Watch all of the videos on this playlist below. They are in this order: Glass Slipper, Annikafiore, Christie, Carda, Normski, Clara Mae, Isle Of You, Chris Tall, Francine Belle, Ani Glass, Alice D, Henrikes, Gabby of REYNA, Jody Watley, John von Ahlen of Parralox, and Davearama.




We are also known for our year-end countdowns of our favourite songs of the year. It pretty much takes up most of December as we highlight one song each day in the Top 21. It takes a lot of work narrowing down the list and putting it in order. We basically have to start in early to mid-November each year to have it ready in time. Check out our top songs by year ...

To all of the artists and readers who have mentioned us on social media, shared our posts on social media, we thank you so very much. It really means a lot to us.

We also have a 2022 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify. Please remember to use Spotify as a way to hear new music. The best way to support the artists are to buy their music. Please do so!



Cheers then,
—The Poptastic Confessions Collective
