Pop
Pop is a song by American boy band NSYNC. It was released on May 15, 2001 as the first single from their third studio album, Celebrity. The song was written by Wade Robson and Justin Timberlake and produced by BT using his famous "stutter edit" sound. The song's subject focuses on contemporary criticism of boy bands and pop music, and assures the public of their music being addictive and not being a trend. It reached number 19 on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100, and number nine on the UK Singles Chart. In 2001, it won four MTV Video Music Awards for Best Group Video, Best Pop Video, Best Dance Video, and Viewers Choice. It also won a Teen Choice Award for Choice Single. The radio version of the song was later included on their Greatest Hits album and their third compilation album The Essential *NSYNC. The song was also heard on Canadian music mix MuchDance 2002 and a remix was included in the movie Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.

Pop
Pop is the ninth studio album by Irish rock band U2, released in March 1997. The album was a continuation of the band's 1990s reinvention, as they pursued a new musical direction by combining alternative rock, techno, dance, and electronica influences. The album employs a variety of production techniques relatively new to U2, including sampling, loops, programmed drum machines, and sequencing. Recording sessions began in 1995 with various record producers, including Nellee Hooper, Flood, Howie B, and Steve Osborne, who were introducing the band to various electronica influences. At the time, drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. was inactive due to a back injury, prompting the other band members to take different approaches to songwriting. Upon Mullen's return, the band began re-working much of their material but ultimately struggled to complete songs. After the band allowed manager Paul McGuinness to book their upcoming 1997 PopMart Tour before the album was completed, U2 were rushed into completing the album. Even after delaying the album's release date from the 1996 Christmas and holiday season to March 1997, U2 ran out of time in the studio and the final product was not to their liking. Since the album's release, many of its songs have been re-recorded and remixed.

Examples of POP in a Sentence
I knew that the last place she would expect me to pop the question, the only thing I had left was the element of surprise.
The biggest problem is the surprise and the uncertainty. You know the competitive seats, two years before Election Day -- or at least most of them, when these pop up, often times, they are putting you in a worse spot than you were before. And it sucks up time and finding candidates to run and money.
Just because I didn't see the pop-up reminder does not mean I agreed.
Around 8 years ago or so, it was very rare for K-pop artists to tour in the US, but now it has become quite common, back then, K-pop fans in the US used to say, 'I wish I could go to Korea to attend their concert,' but now since a lot of K-pop artists are now having concerts in New York and LA, it's more like 'I wish I lived closer to those cities' or 'I wish they would come to my city, instead of the same cities all the time'.
We don't want people to feel like they know what they're going to see. It challenges us not to take the safe route, no one ever thought they would see a dragon land in a bird's nest. No one expected a digital pop group dance on stage with an actual pop group.
