Greatest Pop Stars of 2025: Olivia Dean, Rookie of the Year

Our Greatest Pop Stars of 2025 series continues on with a look at our Rookie of the Year artist, Olivia Dean. Host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard U.K.'s Sophie Williams to dive deep into the British singer-songwriter's impossibly quick-rising 2025 campaign, where she won over hearts on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond with her breakthrough album 'The Art of Loving,' hit songs like "Man I Need" and "So Easy (To Fall in Love)," and near incalculable amounts of charm.
