[BILLBOARD] Gimme Five: Girls' Generation's Tiffany's Favorite Pop Songs Right Now by jeff benjamin
The big diva vocals, the subtle shifts in harmonies, the on-trend horn-laden production...not to mention the replay-worthy video: "Holler," the just-released single from Girls' Generation-TTS, is making a play to be one of fall's most addictive K-pop tracks.
But what tunes has one of the act's singers been addicted to lately? In the latest installment of Billboard's "Gimme Five" series, we get an exclusive look at the top pop tunes today according to Tiffany, a member of both Girls' Generation and the TTS splinter trio.
The 25-year-old stunner proves to have her finger on the pulse when it comes to big hits -- four of the five of her picks have charted in the top 15 of the Billboard Hot 100. But could she also have an ear for future singles? The Los Angeles native also loves a currently cut from Ariana Grande's new album that has yet to get the single treatment.
Listen along to Tiffany's personal pop playlist below and don't miss her full Billboard interview with the Girls' Generation-TTS band mates where the trio talks about their new EP, reality show and how they're showing "a much more raw side" of their music.
