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 Charlie Puth, Carrie Underwood, Noah Cyrus, Lauv, Maggie Rogers, and Kelsea Ballerini.
