Greetings again, dear Popheads,

As mentioned in our Q3 submissions post from Saturday, we're rolling out a few new facets to the zine we hope you'll join us in taking for a test drive.

💿 To submit your commentary and grades for the albums of the quarter, GO HERE!

Popheads Reader Polls

Our lovely editors have put together some fun potpourri questions any Pophead is sure to enjoy (and have a vote-worthy opinion on). You can submit for those here!

The Deep Dive Series

There's nothing quite like the musical experience of deep diving an artist's discography. But more often than not, especially for legends with sprawling discographies, many a listener might find themselves locked in choice paralysis. To quote Olivia Rodrigo, as she started her growing catalogue: "God, I don't even know where to start!"

Well, the Quarterly and the users of Popheads are here to help change that. Cast your vote to help new listeners determine the ideal road map for exploring the discography of some of our favorite artists. You'll be able to choose what you'd recommend as the first, second, and third spin.

To kick us off, in honor of Confessions II and her undeniable status as a "start" of sorts for many a pop diva to come after, we're doing our inaugural Deep Dive poll for Madonna.

You can vote for your takes to get someone Into the Groove here!

All submissions are open until November 20th, so spend the upcoming month in the most excellent way possible -- sharing your opinions with the Quarterly.

Express yourself, hey, hey, hey, hey,
