It’s our 100th issue, and the latest Classic Pop is a 116-page bumper collector’s edition to celebrate our landmark
Classic Pop issue 100 is on sale now, and inside our 116-page bumper collector’s edition we have a supersized cover feature where our writers select the Top 100 Pop Albums, plus some very special iconic guests who serve up their own Top 5 choices.
Joining us elsewhere for our 100th issue are Classic Pop favourites Tears For Fears who look back on one of their own personal milestones, 1985’s seminal Songs From The Big Chair.
We also hear tales of screaming teen fans and missing BRIT Award trophies from Blur who are about to unveil a 30th anniversary reboot of The Great Escape. CP catches up, too, with The The’s Matt Johnson as he returns with the latest film soundtrack to accompany the work of his director brother, Gerard.
And don’t miss Classic Pop’s Best Of 2025 Awards where we highlight the finest new albums, reissues, compilations and books from across the past year.
Midge Ure reveals all about the expanded deluxe edition of Ultravox’s The Collection and we head to Norway to tell the story of Fra Lippo Lippi’s 1986 album Songs.
Meanwhile, we’ve been busily scooping up an array of surprise releases. We talk exclusively with Kylie Minogue about the Fully Wrapped incarnation of her Christmas album plus review Madonna’s special editions of Bedtime Stories and Confessions On A Dance Floor in addition to looking ahead to her hotly-anticipated 2026 LP with Stuart Price. There’s also further Kylie-related content as we take a deep dive into Light Years for our latest classic album feature.
