40th Birthday Thanks + RIP Clive Davis

June 25, 2026 · 6 min

Show notes

No full episode of Greatest Pop Stars this week: It's host Andrew Unterberger's 40th birthday, so he's taking it a little easy. Instead, he's just taking a minute today to express his gratitude to still be able to do Greatest Pop Stars — and to still be as invested in and connected to pop music as he's ever felt — and to pay quick tribute to the late Clive Davis, someone who remained an industry mover and passionate pop fan right up until the very end.


Full episodes resume next week — and in the meantime, please consider donating to the following causes:
