No new podcast this week due to a last-minute cancellation — so instead we're going to look forward to something we're very excited to have coming up on Greatest Pop Stars: a full Janet Jackson Week of Vintage Pop Stardom! In honor of one of the greatest pop stars of all time turning 60 in May, we're going to be celebrating Ms. Janet with deep dives into five of her greatest pop star years — 1986, 1990, 1993, 1998 and 2001 — starting on May 11, and going one a day right up until her birthday on May 16. Listen for more of what to expect here, and see you back here for some top-level Vintage Pop Stardom in a couple weeks!
