As a spin-off from the Sugababes thread, Zoomerang gave me his blessing to take his idea for a pop thread and run with it.
"Pop" has a lot of different interpretations, and I don't want to limit what we're talking about here - but myself, I'm talking about what I like to call "Big Dumb Pop Songs."
Post your favorite songs and/or videos in this thread!
While I like some pop that comes out of the US, I've been discovering a lot of real quality stuff out of the UK. Which is great, but dang, paying import prices, even for used CDs, is killing me.
Here are a few of my favorites to kick it off:
Sugababes: Freak Like Me
*a mash-up of Adina Howard's R&B hit "Freak Like Me" and Gary Newman's "Are Friends Electric." It's AWESOME.

Robyn: Konichiwa Bitches
*so apparently she had a hit in Europe some years ago called "Show Me Love." This confused me for so long, because there was a Robyn S. who had a dance hit in the US called "Show Me Love." I knew it wasn't the same singer, but it really bugged me until I realized the two songs and singers were completely different.
