Pop Music Chart Day – The History of Pop Music

Music has truly come a long way throughout history. Pop music first emerged during the 1950s as a cosmopolitan version of rock ‘n’ roll and grew from there, involving beat and rhythm changes. Since then, it has continued to evolve through different sounds, fashions, and cultural movements – from bubblegum pop to funk and soul to rap and hip-hop.

While these genres encompass different eras of music, the one thing they all have in common is the undeniable emotional power they had (and still have) on listeners all over the world. Even though today’s pop hits sound very different than what was popular in the past, they both reflect social values while offering listeners an escape into a world of upbeat dance rhythms that just can’t be beat!
