:: ... how does it makes sense to state that "pop is not a genre" and simultaneously to have an article heading stating "this is an article about a genre of music", a label saying it's "part of the Music Genres project" and an infobox listing "sub-genres"?
::the current intro seems to establish that the article is NOT about the pop music genre, but rather about "music that makes the pop charts", which is not the same thing; and statements like "unlike forms of music that require education or formation to appreciate" seem to extremely POV-ish and judgemental.
:: when Little Red Rooster went to number 1 on the UK singles chart did it cease to be a blues tune? did Please Please Me cease to be a pop song when it dropped out of the charts? there *is* a genre of music called pop, which has parameters, traditions, etc, and there should be a wikipedia article about it. i propose renaming this article as "Record-chart trends" or something like that.
