## Resource

On this Who Won the Month episode of the Greatest Pop Stars podcast, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard staffers Eric Frankenberg and Eric Renner Brown to discuss the big pop stars, rising prospects and veteran greats who were heard from loudest in April 2026 — which was largely defined by some headline-making Coachella sets, and some all-time great pop catalogs and legacies being revisited. We each choose our top fives for the month that was, then we talk some disappointing recent performances, and look ahead to who we're most anticipating hearing more from in the spring of 2026.
