August 19, 2024 — Hosted by Scott Mills and Rylan, Pop Top 10 is a brand new 10-part podcast for BBC Sounds launching on Wednesday 18 September, and it will also be filmed for BBC iPlayer. This addictive new show from Radio 2 brings long-time friends and music fanatics Scott and Rylan back together to rank the biggest tracks, artists and iconic moments in pop culture.
In each new episode the duo are joined by a special guest, including Katherine Ryan, Natalie Cassidy and Denise van Outen, to debate a Top 10 on a different musical theme. Covering everything from British Girlbands and Christmas Hits, to Soapstars turned Popstars and Ultimate Chart Battles, each episode will build to a rundown and reveal of what’s made the No. 1 slot in their personal take on what that week’s Top 10 should be. New episodes will drop on BBC Sounds each Wednesday. A Listen production.
Rylan says: “Scott and I will be talking about the best of the best in pop music from over the years – what more could you want? Well, we might even treat you to a special guest once in a while too…”
Scott says: “I’m so excited I’ll be getting to discuss me and my Euro-husband’s fave subject – all out POP – for the first time away from Eurovision. If you enjoyed us on the Semi-Finals, just wait till you hear this… Rylan is the only person who can make my ribs hurt from laughing!”
