Field Mix: Top Selling Music of 2018 - Show Notes

It's time to review the music of 2018! Laura and Charlotte dive into 5 of the top selling albums of 2018 in this all new episode. They cover a strange batch of music including 2 movie soundtracks, 2 rap albums, and a British solo artist. Laura finds some appreciation for Drake, and questions Post Malone's point of view. Charlotte struggles with George Ezra's identity as a singer-songwriter, but finds the fun in The Greatest Showman. Together the girls discuss the vocal performances in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, share which album they wish had made the list, and more. Which album did Laura consider unnecessary? Who does Charlotte hate more- George Ezra or Benedict Cumberbatch? And were any of these albums actually good enough to be the best of 2018? All this and more on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast.

For Fun & Games, the hosts began with their customary music game: themed haiku. They also played a round of the original TLP game: Kill, Marry, Pity Date. Play along with the hosts and share your picks or your haiku in the comments!

This week's podtail was inspired by Drake's mammoth-sized album Scorpion. You can mix up the fruity, strong Scorpion cocktail by following this recipe.

Biggest Albums of 2017

This week on The Lettuce Podcast, Laura and Charlotte team up to discuss the biggest albums of 2017*! They talk about their general impressions, most liked songs, disliked songs, and careers of artists like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Bruno Mars. Charlotte talks about why Taylor Swift's Reputation both calls out and makes light of her position in the music industry. Laura shares why she feels Kendrick Lamar is that best rapper currently making music. Both hosts talk about Ed Sheeran's diverse pop style, wonder what makes Drake special, and dissect the sexism in Bruno Mars' 24k Magic. As a special bonus, the girls reveal their pick for album of the year: Rainbow by Kesha. Is Taylor making fun of her haters or still playing the victim? Can Ed Sheeran successfully make flamenco-flavored pop music? And WHY WASN'T KESHA'S ALBUM MORE SUCCESSFUL!? All of these questions and more are asked (and possibly answered) on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast. 

For the Fun & Games segment, Laura and Charlotte played a round of their favorite music game: Haiku. They also channeled their inner red-lipped pop princess to find out which Taylor Swift song they are. 

Taking another cue from T. Swift and the song "Gorgeous", Laura sipped on whiskey on ice as her podtail.
