    Pop music is a genre of popular music, which originated in its modern


    form in the 1950s, deriving from rock and roll. The terms "popular
    music" and "pop music" are often used, even though the former is a
    description of music which is popular and can include any style.
    As a genre, pop music is very eclectic, often consisting of elements
    from other styles including urban, dance, rock, Latin and country.
    There are core elements which define pop. Most pop songs are
    generally short to medium-length songs, written in a basic format
    (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as repeated choruses,
    melodic tunes, and hooks.

    The 1990s was the time of boy bands. A group of young male singers were put together for
    their looks, given catchy songs and arrangements and pushed into fame. It happened to East
    17 and Take That. America saw how it worked and gave the world the Backstreet Boys and 'N
    Sync, and for a few years it worked very well, selling millions of records. But like any fashion,
    it passed. A female version, the Spice Girls, was briefly huge. Notably, the only ones to come
    out of this and sustain a solo career was Robbie Williams from Take That and Justin
    Timberlake from 'N Sync.
    America tried a similar tactic with female pop stars, and both Mariah Carey and Britney
    Spears became massive stars, followed, to a smaller extent, by Christina Aguilera.
    Pop singers and bands have changed throughout the years ranging from The Beatles in the
    60s to the boy band One Direction in this current century. Main pop singers and bands of
    this day and age mainly target a teenage audience, through the use of young artists such as
    Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, One Direction, The Wanted and Little Mix.

    Top of the Pops magazine is a monthly publication published by Immediate Media Company.
    It features chart information, star gossip, fashion and beauty advice, quizzes, song lyrics and
    posters. It is a supplementary magazine for the TV show Top of the Pops until it was later
    cancelled in 2006.
    The magazine was launched in February 1995 and is famous for giving girl group The Spice
    Girls their nicknames. Alongside a revamp of the TV show, it was originally marketed as the
    missing link between Smash Hits and NME, but its format was gradually changed, with less
    music content and a demographic shift to young girls. It is still in publication despite the
    cancellation of the TV show.
    The title has had several editors over the years, including Peter Lorraine, Corinna Schaffer
    and Rosalie Snaith, and contributing editors including Adam Tanswell. Its current editor is
    Peter Hart.

    Billboard is an American music magazine, headquartered in New York City, New


    York and owned by Prometheus Global Media. It was first published on
    November 1, 1894, and is distinguished as being among the oldest trade
    magazines in the world. The magazine originally focused on bill posting and
    outdoor amusements before specializing in the music industry in the 1960s.
    Billboard maintains several internationally recognized record charts, which track
    the most popular songs and albums across several categories on a weekly basis.
    Its primary charts are the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard 200, respectively
    ranking the top songs and albums regardless of genre. Song rankings are based
    on digital download sales, radio airplay, and internet streaming, while albums
    are based solely on sales. Its data is largely based on the Nielsen SoundScan
    tracking system, which it has used since 1991.
