poppiest
Most radio-friendly sound
Poppiest is the superlative of poppy, describing music or style that is the most pop-like—catchy, upbeat, and commercially accessible: Their third album was their poppiest yet.
The term often carries a hint of dismissiveness, suggesting something lightweight or formulaic compared to more serious work.
