But Pop isn't just Top 40, though it definitely can be. It can actually be it's own songwriting ethos; this is why there's a differentiation between Pop and Rock, even though they can both share spots on the charts. It's like how Disturbed and Carly Rae Jepsen could be on the chart at the same time; they both may popular music, but only one is Pop. Or, back in the day, there would have been the Beatles and the Rolling Stones; the Stones were definitely Rock, through and through, even in their experimenting they were primarily based in Rock, but they were on the charts. This doesn't immediately change their status to Pop, even being right alongside the primary Pop band (besides the Beach Boys, who were definitely the most Pop on the spectrum).
