"The Rough Guide to Cult Pop" is devoted to pop music, the tacky, catchy yet endearing music we grew up listening to when we should have been listening to something more profound. It celebrates the hits, the singers, the impresarios and the songs which have made up the soundtrack to our lives. Providing an entertaining look at the artists from Britney to Blue and the number one hits from Billy Jean to Billy Don't Be a Hero, the guide tells the stories behind the chart-toppers and all the key chart statistics. The decades of pop are broken down into genres, complete with recommended discographies of the best and the weirdest.
