We knew that our Pop Entity Of 2014 would seem, to some, like a strange choice, and we knew that the Pop Entity we’d chosen had been less prolific – and less successful – in 2014 than artists who’d arguably conquered the year. But we also knew we could explain exactly what was so great about not just the Pop Entity itself, but what it represented and why it was important.
The 2014 Popjustice Pop Entity Of The Year is…
Troye Sivan.
Just another accomplishment for the openly gay award winning actor, singer-songwriter, and social media mogul (who is also working with Taylor Swift producer, Jack Antonoff, on his debut album). Download his new EP TRYXE here (which happened to be the third most reblogged album on Tumblr, ahead of A-list popstars Lady Gaga and One Direction).
He looks cute in that gif. It's like he's excited for his first day on High School.
Future king of alternative pop has not been out of high school for that long and already has MILLIONS of fans. 2015 will be major. Don't sleep on him ATRL
He's already a pop entity and has a CERTIFIED single in Australia and nearly outsold established acts like J.Lo, Nelly Furtado, Ashanti, Selena Gomez etc.'s recent efforts in the U.S. despite having not a single promotional performance. Hurricane Troye is coming.
They are a major news outlet that has predicted major stars before (like '13's winner Sia Furler that is now a Grammy nominated artist that had a major worldwide hit). I don't see any reason why people shouldn't take them seriously!
I could probably track his house down if I tried.
