News about Derek Sanders

The quest for the ever-elusive "bop" is finding it difficult. Playlists and streaming-service recommendations can only do so much. They often leave a lingering question: Are these songs really good, or are they just new? Enter Bop Shop, a hand-picked collection of songs from MTV News' staff. This weekly collection does not discriminate by gender and can include anything — it's a snapshot of what's on our minds and what sounds good. We'll keep it fresh with the most recent music, but we'll get a few oldies (but goodies) every once in a while as well. Prepare: The Bop Shop is now open for business.
