Rosamund West Editor-in-chief
"Maybe when David Hasselhoff reunified East and West Berlin through song?"
Peter Simpson Digital Editor, Food & Drink Editor
"My entirely accidental discovery of the Simlish version of Carly Rae Jepsen's Run Away With Me."
Anahit Behrooz Events Editor, Books Editor
"The Imagine video. Culture died."
Jamie Dunn Film Editor, Online Journalist
"Madonna’s less-than-impressed reaction to a mulleted Kevin Costner visiting her backstage during her Blond Ambition tour and describing her incendiary, jaw-dropping show as “neat” – as captured in In Bed with Madonna."
Tallah Brash Music Editor
"Björk's swan dress. And Olly Murs falling down a flight of stairs while absolutely massacring Stevie Wonder's Signed, Sealed, Delivered."
Heléna Stanton Clubs Editor
"Anything Azealia Banks related ie her getting raging at the whole country of Ireland on a flight via Twitter.
Polly Glynn
Comedy Editor
" Jarvis Cocker mooning Michael Jackson at The Brits and having Bob Mortimer be his defense lawyer."
Rho Chung Theatre Editor
"When P!nk said, 'I'm gay.............. Actually, I'm not. '"
Business
Harvey Dimond Art Editor
"That time Solange went off at Jay Z in the lift and Beyoncé just stood in the corner watching."
Editorial Sales
George Sully
Sales and Brand Strategist
"Two words: Fyre Festival."
Lewis Robertson Digital Editorial Assistant
"The incredibly short-lived Matt LeBlanc/Taylor Swift collaboration."
Laurie Presswood General Manager
"The Saturdays' high octane 7.42am GMTV performance of Just Can't Get Enough. The hair is bouncing, the dance moves out of sync: someone's just told them they're the next Spice Girls. The 3m2 stage CANNOT handle these stomping ladies."
Eilidh Akilade Intersections Editor
"Charli XCX performing I Love It: 'I thought this song was big in Germany, what the fuck.' A modern classic, imo."
Production
Dalila D'Amico Art Director, Production Manager "Heidi Klum's worm costume. Simply iconic."
Phoebe Willison Designer
"Since the day I was put on this earth I have loved pop history. Pop history is engraved into my brain like 15th of the 6th 85 is unto Nadine Coyle's. I am pop history. Also it’s Jedward's rebrand as a political lobbying powerhouse."
Sandy Park Commercial Director
"Gemma Collins falling through the stage at some Radio 1 awards show. Does that count?"
Tom McCarthy
Creative Projects Manager
"The KLF and Extreme Noise Terror opening the 92 Brit Awards with a grindcore version of 3AM Eternal, firing blanks into the crowd with a machine gun and then leaving a dead sheep on the doorstep of the afterparty."
