Popular music is music that is intended to appeal to a mass audience. The main motivation in producing pop music is to make money. It has grown with the advance of the mass media and is commercially broadcasted on television, radio, internet, magazines, newspapers, etc.
This music is not specifically a genre because styles of popular music change from time to time. Basically pop music is anything that sells. The pop charts at the moment include anything from RnB to Indie, House music and more. Whilst pop music can be regarded as an art form its not high art and its not intended to last. It’s what ‘In’ right now and music tastes can change very quickly in terms of its popularity.
Popular music is mass produced and consumed. It’s now a global business and cuts across language and cultural barriers. Its more about the money than the music.

A reasonably good post that shows a hint of originality within the tolerable word limit. The word is broadcast not broadcasted!
