Sidetracked with Annie and Nick - Rihanna’s Return, MTV EMA’s and K-pop’s Global Domination

Download Rihanna’s Return, MTV EMA’s and K-pop’s Global Domination

Can you train the perfect popstar? As K-pop artists dominate global charts, Annie and Nick discuss why the genre has become so successful. Elsewhere, Rihanna has come out of retirement to perform at a billionaire’s wedding and the MTV EMA’s are coming to a Co-Op near you. Plus, why AI generated music can’t make us cry like James Blake.

Sidetracked is all about taking a look at the things Annie Macmanus and Nick Grimshaw have loved (and perhaps more importantly not loved) from the world of music. A week in music, a week in Annie and Nick’s lives, this is the destination for music and pop culture lovers looking for an authentic and light-hearted take on the week’s most compelling stories… getting seriously sidetracked along the way.
