It wouldn”t be an exaggeration to say that today popular music is part of everyone”s life. We hear it on the radio, television and online. It is featured in movies and advertisements. It is literally a part of our lives, whether we want it or not.

The origins of “pop”

It is generally assumed that contemporary pop music originated with rock”n”roll of the 50s and 60s. Propelled to new heights by emerging TV shows, such as “Top of the Pops”, it eventually split into a number of different styles and genres.

What makes the music “pop”?

Although pop music is evolving by the day, there are several features that distinguish it from other styles, besides its profitability:

• aim at the widest audience possible
• emphasis on refined studio recordings rather than live performances
• recurring chorus-refrain cycles
• clear and easily recognizable harmonies
• simple lyrics dealing with common subjects, such as love

Having initially branched out from rock music in the early years of its existence, pop music continues to evolve, constantly incorporating new styles and instruments.

Where to use a pop track?

The style of pop music is constantly changing to reflect new trends. That”s why nothing conveys the sound of a particular era better than a relevant pop track. This makes pop music a key ingredient in video production or advertising, to name a few examples.
