Whether due to antiquated radio perceptions, unfortunate timing, or errant label strategy, the best pop songs do not always become the biggest pop radio hits.

The latest selection follows.
Selection Seven: The 1975’s “If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know)”

ONTD Original: Ten 2020 Bops To Dance Out Of The Year To
Rina Sawayama - Comme Des Garçons (Like the Boys)
Rina brought us many life-giving bops this year with her incredible debut album
SAWAYAMA; this one gives us all of the club vibes that we didn t know that we would miss this year.
Jessie Ware - What s Your Pleasure?
Jessie brought out the title track of her fourth album during the first lockdown knowing fine well that we were starved of going out and dancing. We were sufficiently fed with this song let alone the full accompanying album.
