2026 Pop Star Resolutions: Insights and Wishes for the Year Ahead
As we step into 2026, it's a good time to reflect on the year ahead and set some resolutions for our favorite pop stars. In the latest episode of the Greatest Pop Stars podcast, host Andrew Unterberger and Billboard charts senior analyst/writer Eric Frankenberg share their wishes for pop stars in the new year. From Beyoncé's visual projects to Dua Lipa's collaborations, there are plenty of ideas to consider.
One of the key questions is whether Beyoncé should focus on visuals for her last two albums or complete her LP trilogy in 2026. Dua Lipa might benefit from working with more mainstream pop collaborators on her upcoming album. Could Adele have a legacy year in store for us? The idea of a Frank Ocean covers album or a Benson Boone rock opera sparks curiosity. How can Doechii maintain the momentum she gained in 2025? And most importantly, can we all strive to be kinder to our pop stars and each other?
