Beneath every studded leather jacket beats a secret heart that knows all the words to the cheesy stuff on the radio. Here, we've compiled a 3LP anthology that came for the brimstone and stayed for the bubblegum, as heavy metal bands raid the pop charts and drag the hits straight down to the pit. This is the sound of synth-pop, power ballads, and diva anthems being lovingly bludgeoned into submission, where every guilty pleasure finally gets the distortion it always deserved and chart-toppers become chart-shredders. Perfect for fans who appreciate the irony of throwing the horns to songs they swore they hated. Warning: these are technically all pop songs — technically.
