On this week’s episode (the 50th episode of the Pop Shop Podcast!), Robyn & Royksopp stop by the show to talk about their collaborative “mini-album” release Do It Again, as well as their current tour and the individual projects they have in the works (Robyn is working on a new EP, and Royksopp has a new album out in November!). Jason and Keith also discuss Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” her new pop sound and whether or not the single could debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart; Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea dominating the Hot 100 chart with three songs each in the Top 10; Troye Sivan’s surprising Top 10 debut with his first EP; and the MTV Video Music Awards, and which artists could see chart rises from their performances at the ceremony. There’s also Robin Williams, Meghan Trainor, Baauer, a special VMAs Pop Shop Podcast preview, and much more.
