Backstreet Boys - The Hits : Chapter One

About this episode

Lukas Myers and HonestlyHelen discuss the Backstreet Boys' greatest hits album and explore broader themes in pop music.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend, online boyband guru HonestlyHelen (@honestlyhelen), and we're breaking down the ultimate piece of pop nostalgia: the Backstreet Boys' greatest hits album, The Hits – Chapter One. Of course, we go off track pretty quickly. The conversation dips into the wider world of pop and the recent BBC documentary about girlbands. Just a chat between two friends who know way too much about pop music, covering everything from five guys who love a key change & a Max Martin banger.
