How the pop debut albums timeline works
Each card names a pop star, with the debut album printed under the name, and you order them by the year that album was released. One star starts on the timeline, debut year in view. Read each new card and place it before, between or after the ones already down. When the spot is right, the year comes up; pick wrong and the card lands in its true place anyway, costing one of three lives.
The names range from folk-pop and Motown-era beginnings to the MTV icons, the teen-pop wave and the streaming stars. Watch the album title closely: for some singers the first record came out well before they became famous, sometimes in childhood or in a very different style. Stars who started in groups or on TV are hard to place too, because their solo debut can come later than their fame.
