The Death of the Male Popstar (ft PopSamCam)
We are witnessing the death of the male popstar...We went from YEARS of The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Usher, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, One Direction, Harry Styles... and then just none.After the rise of Harry Styles, we have yet to see a single male rise to the upper echolon of pop music in nearly a DECADEHowever, in 2025 it FINALLY feels like we have some contenders. Sombr, Role Model, Conan Gray, and Troye Sivan have all started to have some of their biggest songs to date.So what changed? And what does a male artist need to break through in 2025?FOLLOW SAM @Popsamcam 0:00 -Intro5:00 - What is a Male "Popstar"?11:39 - What makes a successful Male Artist?18:07 - The 3 things that Make or Break a New Artist20:57 - What are the Pop Boys missing?27:55 - Sombr29:58 - How can Pop Boys evolve?31:54 - The Men closest to getting it36:26 - Omar Apollo38:13 - Conan Gray40:57 - The Pop Boys Not Doing it For Me#musicindustry #sombr #rolemodel #harrystyles #musicmarketing

The Epidemic of "Performative Men" (ft Amelia Moore)
Do we have an epidemic of loneliness? Or just an epidemic of undatable men...Situationships, toxic exes, "talking stages" lasting for months-- it seems like EVERYONE is having trouble with dating these days. Especially among Gen ZIt is definitely something I have been struggling with, and our guest this week Amelia Moore is certainly no stranger to heartbreak, so we sat down to talk about all things relationships, dating, performative men, and how situations like these have inspired her music.#performativemale #relationshipadvice #datingsucks #performativemen #relationshippodcast

The Addiction to Connection (ft Aidan Bissett)
Is it just me or does it feel like EVERYONE’s love life is a disaster these days?Situationships. Talking stages. Low-effort texting. Going back to your ex…It’s like we’d rather stay stuck in something we KNOW is bad for us than risk being alone. Why? Because connection—even when it’s toxic—is still connection. And we are addicted to it. The dopamine rush of attention. The illusion of intimacy. The validation of being chosen—even if it’s only temporarily.We crave the high of a connection more than the health and consistency of that connection.So we go back. Even when we know better...So how did we become addicted to connection? And how can we break that spell? Well what better guest to have than @Aidan Bissett who just put out an entire album exploring this exact topic.You may know him from songs like More Than Friends, Tripping Over Air, and Ultraviolet– but “shut up and love me” goes much deeper into these feelings of heartbreak and our addiction to connection…#aidanbissett #indiemusic #heartbreaksong #epidemicofloneliness
Welcome to my solo podcast!!!
My name is Nicky and I used to work in the entertainment industry for 3 years on the social strategy & marketing side before I ever became a Creator.
I am obsessed with analyzing the stories behind Music, Movies, and Marketing. I truly believe the media we consume is so important to our development and how we interact in society.
Growing up in the suburbs of Virginia as a very closeted teenager, I remember how isolated I felt. It was Youtube and Music that made me feel scene for the first time.
Hopefully I can make someone else feel that way too <3
