3. HISTORY The Evolution of Pop Music

4. How Did it All Start? Pop music originated from the USA and the UK. The genre started as a mix of various music styles that were popular around the early 50’s. Some of the music types that led to the genesis of pop included jazz, country, bebop, rap, and rock ‘n’ roll. In 1950s, Elvis Presley became the first artist to play pop music, comprising of a fusion of the blues, rock ‘n’ roll, and country music.

5. Traditional pop music started playing in the 1950s when rock ‘n’ roll was the rhythm of the day. Regardless of the barriers that the pioneers of pop music experienced, the genre did not lose traction. The success of pop in this decade is attributed to labels such as Columbia Records, which combined the music genres of this time to produce pop music. Pioneer singers of the 50s pop songs such as Elvis Presley , Carl Perkins , and Bill Haley took pop music to an entirely new level. 50s

6. With the 50’s background of pop music, it became quite easy for young stars to diversify pop music. This is one of the reasons why pop music received a large teen fan base. With the portable radio coming into play around this decade, pop music gained a wide scope of influence across Europe and America. During this time, the historical British Invasion and Beatlemania movements took over the American pop music charts. This saw pop grow into subgenres that included Baroque pop and Bubblegum pop . 6 0s

However, the greatest revolution that took place in pop music over this period was the uprising of the pop-rock sound. Artists such as Elton John , Queen , and Jackson 5 were the stars of the 70’s pop songs. 70 s

R&B and hip-hop remained popular, as did movie soundtracks. Mariah Carey was leading the charts. Other popular artists included Janet Jackson, Garth Brooks, Celine Dion and Madonna, The Spice Girls. 9 0s

10. Early 2000’s pop music was already a refined and well-defined genre. Pop had become a fusion of sounds and subgenres that all expressed the nature of a pop song. Musicians such as Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Rihanna would shape the 2000’s pop culture. Pop music had become an electric melting pot of subgenres and sounds that all shared the common tropes of a pop song. 0s
