On this Who Won the Month episode of the Greatest Pop Stars podcast, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard staffers Kyle Denis and Michael Saponara to discuss the big pop stars, rising prospects and veteran greats who were heard from loudest in March 2026 — which was largely defined by a pair of massively anticipated returns by arguably the two biggest male pop acts in the world right now. We each choose our top fives for the month that was, then we talk some disappointing recent performances, and look ahead to who we're most anticipating hearing more from in the spring of 2026.
