Flopstars is a podcast presented by Sam Murphy and Nic Kelly, looking at our favourite popstars in our hearts who can’t quite compete on the charts. Together we’ll be going deep into projects that were criminally underrated commercially but won cult adoration. This is a chance to dig into some of the best pop records of our time and also have a little laugh about the ridiculous world they’re forced to compete in.

Episode 7 - Billie Eilish's 'Happier Than Ever'
Billie Eilish's second album 'Happier Than Ever' was a big turning point for her. Her first album was a streaming giant but this album marked a pointed move to establish herself as an artist without worrying about the hits. The result was a cohesive, mature and startingly honest album that's both wildly experimental while also being classic.
In this episode, we talk about how important this album was for positioning her as an artist and also why it perhaps didn't garner the same success as her debut. -

Awesome music podcast
One of the funniest and entertaining music podcasts out there. Keep it up guys!!!
Love the pod, losing the premise
Listen every week and love it, seems to be turning into “here’s our favorite albums so what if they weren’t actually flops” instead of albums that truly flopped.
