Pop music is a music genre that developed from the mid-1950s as a softer alternative to rock 'n' roll and later to Rock Music. Popular music or Pop music, as it is more commonly called, is difficult to define. The forties and fifties saw the emergence of rock 'n' roll. The Sixties saw pop music with Elvis, the King as well as Rhythm and Blues. The Beatles were also pop music greats of the sixties. While Michael Jackson ruled the eighties. As long as there is a need for entertainment, the pop music scene will continue to dominate the music industry. A Pop music chart is an all music guide for a music lover. Music is food for the soul. Pop music is a category of modern music not defined by artistic considerations but by its potential audience or prospective market. It is composed with deliberate intent to appeal to the majority of its contemporaries. A defining characteristic of pop music is that anyone is able to enjoy it. Madonna is usually referred to as the queen of pop and Michael Jackson is usually referred to as the king of pop. First used in 1926, the term Pop Music referred to music that had a popular appeal. Since the 1950s, the term Pop Music has been used to designate a separate music genre. That genre includes a perceptible rhythm, melodies and choruses or "hooks", a customary structure, and mainstream style.
