Pop music is the kind of popular music that produces the most hits.
A hit is a song that sells many copies, and the latest hits are listed
every week on the charts. To get on the charts, a song must be
released as a single, although most singles are also released on an
album
The term “pop music” was first used in the 1950s to describe
popular music that was not jazz or classical. The name received
further attention when it was used by disc jockeys, who played
songs on the radio that were not considered classical or jazz.
Pop music have a good rhythm, a catchy melody, and are easy to
remember and sing along to. They usually have a chorus that's
repeated several times and two or more verses. Most pop songs are
between two and five minutes long, and the lyrics are usually about
the joys and problems of love and relationships, so this makes it
perfect for listening on the go or while doing other activities. In
addition, pop music is often designed to be simple and
straightforward, so you don't have to spend a lot of time puzzling
over the lyrics or trying to understand what they mean.
The instruments that used in pop music are Drums, Piano, Electric
guitar and Vocals.
Pop is very different from rock although some people consider it a
soft type of rock but unlike rock, pop music is a music genre that is
made with the motive to reach a larger audience. Rock music can be
defined as an ideology or subculture that doesn’t reach masses.
Where pop music is generally performed solo like Amenra.com,
rock music is performed in groups or bands also called rock bands
to be specific. But there are also some pop bands that perform live
and people love them.
