Poptastic Confessions!: Pop Life Fanzine returns for the 40th anniversary of Bananarama

Dear Poptastic Readers,

This year, Bananarama celebrated their 40th Anniversary. YAY! The Pop Life Fanzine is back with their 29th issue dedicated to all 12 studio albums.

In this issue, the reviewers were asked to rate every Bananarama song on those 12 albums. The reviewers ranked the songs on a scale from 1 to 5. The worst being 1, and the best being 5. There was the option to include half points, but not above 5. Then we added up the totals and did math to get the average score for each song. Then we added those totals and got the average score for each album. Basically, it involved a lot of math.

Today, you can download all 29 issues of the Pop Life Fanzine. (Issues 1-28 were digitally updated in July of this year.) The fanzine was originally printed from 2003 to 2007. There were special editions in 2017, 2020, 2021, and now 2022. All of the issues have been updated and modified since the original publications.
