Based on my definition what makes a song pop friendly is how well it reflects current pop trends that is what makes it pop "friendly". It reflects the current pop music scene at the current time


It really has nothing to do with accessibility or how popular it becomes. There are plenty of popular songs that are not necessarily "pop friendly" (as in they don't reflect current pop radio trends)
I see. How would you define something attempting to set trends? Is it only in hindsight that it's pop friendly?
