What sets Pop singing apart

Pop melodies are written to be sung back by a crowd, so most of a pop song sits in a comfortable band around the singer's speaking-to-belt middle. What separates pop singers is what they add on top: belted climaxes, riffs, and the occasional head-voice or whistle flourish.

For the cooler, synthesizer-led branch of the style, see Synth-Pop.
