What's currently your singalong guilty pleasure? I'm a dude and mine is Dua Lipa

She's a baritone and her music fits my own range almost perfectly. Her second album, "Future Nostalgia" is packed with really catchy tunes. And the chorus in the song "Good in Bed" is great for practice in bridging the passagio.

I love 'Future Nostalgia' too, especially 'I'm Levitating'.
I hadn't figured Dua's technical features, though.
As to practice, I keep sticking to Ken's tutorials...
Is it true that there are two passagii: primo passagio and secondo passagio?

Yeah, but I get the impression that most people don't have trouble with the primo passagio, as it is between your speaking register and your "call" register. Most of us go in and out of those two registers daily, so the speedbump has naturally smoothed out through a subconscious desire to speak with good tone. My assumption.

Right after you finish doing the exercises, your voice is warmed up, so it's the perfect time to apply what you're learning by singing along to songs. Don't cheat yourself out of the fun part!
