Proudly presenting some select highlights and standouts from this year's Week in Pop: 2016 features with our annual Year in Pop review edition; photograph by Sjimon Gompers.
Dedicated & committed to the cause weekly & yearly, Impose’s Week in Pop remains steadfast in showcasing an array of exclusive insights, interviews, and debuts, and guest selections from all of your favorites while keeping you up to date with all the breaking buzz & surveys that follow the comeuppance of tomorrow’s provocateurs of the new schools. All of this year’s Week in Pop features would not be possible however without the editorial assists from Meredith Schneider, & former Impose alum Caitlin Greene, Sam Lefebvre, Jes Skolnik, Derek Evers, Blake Gillespie, & a countless fleet of international A&Rs/PRs/liaisons & label bosses who tirelessly work behind the scenes to make this happen every Friday.
