Lil Nas X made his ‘SNL’ debut Saturday night (May 22), much to the delight of his growing legion of fans.

Hot on the promo trail in support of his self-titled debut album, ‘Montero’ (due in stores this summer), the 22-year-old cranked out the inaugural live television performances of its leading singles ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’ and ‘Sun Goes Down’ on the Anya Taylor-Joy-hosted episode.

While the former rode the poles of controversy straight into record books and Platinum status (as we reported here), the latter – released just May 21 – is building buzz for its emotional, semi-biographical content.

Curious about the first live treatments given to both cuts?  Look inside to see them, including the wardrobe malfunction that has everyone talking…

Produced by Awaz Beatz and D-Roc, look inside to see the video treatment ‘Stunnaman’ got courtesy of director LouieKnows.

However, unlike our other segments – Retro Rewind, TGJ Replay, and From The Vault – The Pop Stop is the most in-depth look at Pop songs that may have flown under the radar over the last week that you should know, rather they be from music’s biggest stars or those on the rise.

This week, we want to highlight cuts from Niall Horan and Anne-Marie, Zara Larsson, Jonas Brothers and Marshmello, and Years & Years and Kylie Minogue.
