{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Olivia Rodrigo and the second verse massacre","description":"Olivia Rodrigo's chart-topping new single \"drop dead,\" the lead single from her forthcoming third album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, breaks one of pop's oldest rules by abandoning the traditional second verse and replacing it with something entirely new. From Mariah Carey's \"Fantasy\" to Sabrina Carpenter's \"Manchild\" and Chappell Roan's \"Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl,\" a growing wave of today's biggest pop stars are ditching the verse-chorus formula listeners have been trained to expect for decades. Rodrigo didn't invent the second-verse switch-up, but on \"drop dead\" she may have just killed off the predictable second verse for good.\n\n\n\n\n\nSongs Discussed\n\n\n Frank Zappa \"Charlene\"\n\n Olivia Rodrigo \"drop dead\"\n\n The Cure \"Just Like Heaven\"\n\n Jean-Baptiste Lully \"The Tragey of Armide\" Ryan Brown conducting Opera Lafayette\n\n Olivia Rodrigo \"drivers license\"\n\n Olivia Rodrigo \"good 4 u\"\n\n Olivia Rodrigo \"vampire\"\n\n Olivia Rodrigo \"ballad of a homeschooled girl\"\n\n ...","author_name":"Switched on Pop","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/4574768-switched-on-pop","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43629717/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
