\n\tThough February is the shortest month of the year, it didn\u2019t feel that way from a pop stardom perspective in 2025. Within 28 days, we got all kinds of major pop events \u2014 the Grammys, the Super Bowl, multiple music-heavy celebrations of Saturday Night Live<\/em>\u2018s 50th anniversary \u2014 as well as several major new releases (and even a new major re-release or two) from some of pop\u2019s biggest names, including a couple of our Greatest Pop Stars of 2024<\/a> (and of the entire 21st century<\/a>).<\/p>\n \n\tThis week, we try to capture all of it with a look back at the Greatest Pop Stars of February 2025. Host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard<\/em> staffers and regular guests Meghan Mahar and Mike Saponara to share and debate our respective top five lists, while also naming some honorable mentions, some disappointments, and some artists who we\u2019re looking forward to in the months to come. (If you missed our January recap, you can find that episode here<\/a>.) <\/p>\n \n\tAmong the topics discussed: Are our top two Greatest Pop Stars of 2024 still reigning two months into 2025? Was The Weeknd\u2019s potential grand finale a triumph or a disappointment? Are we more bearish or bullish about Selena Gomez\u2019s and Benny Blanco\u2019s upcoming collaborative album? And how are we feeling about that Drake guy these days anyway?<\/p>\n
