Finally got around to this playlist and it's unsurprisingly one of my favorites. Pop just went nuts during this era. 2012 is definitely the right cutoff, not because pop got worse in 2013 but things changed a lot with Lorde and also the trap influence on Miley and Beyonce's records and Dark Horse etc. The other boundary is a bit hazier for me. You could easily just say it starts with Gaga and leave it at 2008. What about dipping into late 2007 for Blackout though? Talk about a record that was ahead of its time, Gimme More would fit seamlessly on this mix.
And agreed on Friday, always liked it, especially the second verse you mention with those countermelodies. I do miss the rap verse though.
