Alan Haber's Pure Pop Radio is the archive for the premiere website that covered the melodic pop scene with in-depth reviews of new and reissued recordings, and a wide variety of features. We are now closed for new activity.

Tonight’s fourth edition of Pop Tunes, Alan Haber’s popular deejay show on Pure Pop Radio, is off and running at 9 pm ET (6 pm PT) with a whole lot of melodic pop lovin’, hooks galore, and catchy melodies that sing!
Kicking off with a “hairy” blast from the past from the Cowsills, tonight’s show delivers a set of “beautiful” songs from such artists as the Rascals, Parthenon Huxley, and Pop 4. An extended set with five classic songs from Emitt Rhodes and artists that have covered his tunes is next; Emitt’s great cover of the Bee Gees’ “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” released last year on Record Store Day, is first out of the box.
Pugwash leads a powerhouse pack of new and nearly-new songs now playing in rotation on Pure Pop Radio: Scot Sax and Susie Brown, the Universal Thump and Nick Piunti are also spinning in this set. A set of songs that were playing when Pure Pop Radio first signed on three years ago is up next, featuring the catchy sounds of David Myhr, Phenomenal Cat, Fun of the Pier, and Graham Gouldman.
The weekly Beatle Blast, from Stackridge, and a blast from the past from Glen Campbell close out this edition of Pop Tunes. Alan hopes you’ll join him for another 75 minutes of the greatest melodic pop in the universe, topped with a healthy smattering of deejay patter! See you on the radio!
Alan Haber’s Pop Tunes is a cool deejay show playing the greatest melodic pop music from the ’60s to today. The show airs every Monday night at 9 pm ET (6 pm PT) on Pure Pop Radio, and repeats on Thursday afternoons at noon ET (9 am PT) and Sundays at 3 pm ET (noon PT).

Alan Haber’s Pop Tunes deejay show debuts tonight, August 10, at 9 pm ET (6 pm PT), as part of Pure Pop Radio’s Premiere Week!
Alan says: I’ve been wanting to get back to doing an old-fashioned deejay show where I play and talk about everybody’s favorite pop songs as I used to do on the old, weekly Pure Pop Radio Show.
Well now, I’ve taken the plunge and I’m back in the super-comfy deejay chair for my new show called Pop Tunes.Every Monday night at 9 pm ET (6 pm PT), I’ll be playing a super-catchy mix of new songs, old songs, love songs, and Beatle songs, all with instantly-memorable melodies and lots of harmonies–the best of the best of what we play, 24 hours a day, on Pure Pop Radio.
Pop 4Vanilla’s Jayson Jarmon
Tonight’s first show serves up the greatest song, from Pop 4, that Jeff Lynne didn’t write in a set devoted to ELO-esque magic. Also on the docket: Timmy Sean and the Beatles duke it out with their renditions of the Fabs’ “You’re Going to Lose that Girl” in our special feature, the Student-Teacher Conference; two sets of songs that are new to the Pure Pop Radio playlist are spun from artists such as Vanilla, Larry O. Dean, Pop 4, Ray Paul, the Foreign Films, and Brady Harris; a trio of lovable love songs play on; and a group of classic songs from the 2000s explode from your speakers. Plus: some delectable deejay patter from yours truly.
It all happens for you tonight on Pop Tunes, my brand new deejay show on Pure Pop Radio. Tune in tonight at 9 pm ET (6 pm PT) for 70 minutes of melodic pop excitement. The show repeats this Thursday, August 13 at noon ET (9 am PT) and this Sunday, August 16 at 3 pm ET (noon PT).
