Unflopped is the fortnightly podcast that resurrects forgotten pop classics.
Join two pop know-it-alls and one bona fide musical genius as they dig deep into pop music history. In each episode Stuart and Sean choose a flop single that they think deserved to be a hit. Judge Joe offers his expert musical analysis, then, at the end of the show, delivers his ultimate verdict – one of the songs is declared officially Unflopped.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came down to Brighton this morning and made this happen! It’s our last Pride of the year and we’ll see you all once again in 2020!
Saturday marked our first ever industry-wide pride march, and we wanted to say a huge thank you to all of those who came to march with us in London, and those who supported us from afar – we couldn’t have done this without you.
Pride in Music originally came together to combat the presumption that the industry is naturally and by default a safe-space for the community as a whole, and to increase visibility for all of us alongside our cousins in broadcast, film & entertainment. It was incredible to see so many people come together – from Universal, Sony, Warners, CAA, MTV, AIM and First Access, alongside our PR, songwriter, producer and musician friends – all in our first year!
We’re gearing up for our next march at Brighton Pride on Saturday 3rd August, in a parade that will mark 50 years of music that has defined LGBTQ+ culture, to celebrate 50 years since the Stonewall uprising. You can get all of the details at the link below, and book your place with the password ‘vogue’!
To celebrate Pride In London 2019, MNEK has teamed up with Pride in Music to host an all LGBT+ music writing camp on July 4th and July 5th.
A stellar line up of producers, writers, artists and engineers will come together to work together across two days on brand new music and encourage LGBTQ+ solidarity.
A HUGE thank you to all publications that have supported the camp, a brief selection is below!
Part of our mission statement is to provide up-and-coming and developing talent an opportunity to perform where they may not ordinarily get one.
We were SO excited to work with Ryan Ashley for Mighty Hoopla, Leo Kalyan at Student Pride and Swimming Girls at the Trafalgar Square Main Stage at Pride in London in 2019.
We’re on the lookout for new programmes again this year so don’t forget, if you’re a new musician, manager or looking to break into British Music, you can submit to be part of our 2020 programmes over on our ‘Ones To Watch’ page!
Part of our mission at Pride in Music is to support and encourage the booking of young up-and-coming LGBTQ+ artists who may not normally have the opportunity of prominent exposure in the live space. We have been working with the fantastic team at Mighty Hoopla this year to find an artist to open the main stage at this years festival on the 8th June, and are very proud to announce that Ryan Ashley will be taking that spot.
Ryan is a 23 year old North Londoner who has already written hit singles for the likes of MNEK, M.O., Mabel, Crazy Cousins, Blonde & H.E.R. 2019 marks the year where he confidently steps out from behind the scenes and takes centre stage. Pride in Music are here to support him all the way…

After filling up our Pride in London wristband allocation within a single day, we’re absolutely thrilled to announce that we are able to march collectively as the LGBTQ+ & allies British Music Industry at Brighton & Hove Pride on the Saturday 3rd August 2019!
In the event that our wristband allocation sells-out, there will be a waitlist available – so if you are successful in receiving a band, and can’t march later down the line due to future commitments, you can release your position for another member of Pride in Music.
2019 marks 50 years of the Stonewall uprising and to celebrate the birth of the modern LGBTQ+ movement we’ll be marking the occasion with 50 years of music that have inspired queer, popular culture over the years.
We will provide firmer details nearer the time, but as per London, music is permitted so expect us to be loud and proud with disco bikes, backpack speakers blasting our latest achievements, balloons and everything in-between.
*SAFETY*
August is super hot and as those who may have marched with other groups in previous years may know, there may be a long waiting period in a holding area before we start the march. Please ensure you bring sunscreen and plenty of water.
You can register for your wristband now, with the event page password ‘vogue’.
