\n\tFor the most part, the stars who defined pop music in October continued to do so in November: namely, Taylor Swift<\/a> and Olivia Dean<\/a>, the artists with the biggest hits and the most momentum in top 40 right now, respectively. But outside of their dominance, it was still a big month for rising and returning pop artists coming through with surprising new releases, impressive chart breakthroughs, major award show moments and other head-turning achievements \u2014 getting it all in before the final bell rings for 2025 at the end of this month. <\/p>\n

\n\tThis week, we look back at the November that was in pop stardom, as host Andrew Unterberger is joined by\u00a0Billboard\u00a0staffers Trevor Anderson and Michael Saponara to share and debate our respective November top five lists, while also naming some honorable mentions, some disappointments, and some artists who we\u2019re looking forward to in the final months of the year.\u00a0(If you missed our recaps of the first 10 months of 2025,\u00a0check them out here<\/a>, including our review of the\u00a0entire first half<\/a>\u00a0of the year in pop stardom.)<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile doing so, we answer all the big questions about November pop stardom: Do Olivia Dean\u2019s performances match the excitement around her in general? Did Taylor Swift make the right move flooding the zone in Showgirl\u2018s first week and disappearing almost immediately after? Is Rosal\u00eda setting the standard for pop star excellence right now? Why do some people still not believe in Tate McRae as a top-tier superstar? Is Ella Langley headed for 2026 superstardom? Was Summer Walker\u2019s Finally Over It actually a disappointment, or is our disappointment in how it was received? And what\u2019s still left to impact the Greatest Pop Stars of 2025 race\u00a0\u2014 which we\u2019ll present our final picks for in January? <\/p>\n
