I've been going full pop/retard today, so here's some tracks that I thoroughly enjoyed:

Katy Perry - Pendulum
(From the 2017 album Witness.)

Katy Perry - Déjà Vu

I've been spinning this album most of this evening.
Bought the CD earlier today and felt like I probably just ****ed up and wasted money.
Turns out it's pretty rad.

The Dark Element - Last Good Day
(Frome their 2017 self-titled album.)

Got this album recently.
Pop hooks + power metal.
It's got a really crisp sound to it and there's some real ear-worm hooks here.

Lady Gaga - Venus
(From her 2013 album Artpop.)

I got this album a few years ago and always thought it was pretty neat.
It's generally considered a failure for Lady G, but to my ears, it's got the most interestingly detailed songs of her career.
The hooks aren't always as immediate as on the previous albums, so that's probably what sunk it in the eyes (and ears) of the general pop-listening public, as well as the professional critics at the time.
It's not a perfect pop album, but I think it's got some good songs and I consider its quirks more charming than off-putting.
