Pop music is a staple in mainstream American culture. What many may not know is it's level of importance globally. Being an international pop star supersedes almost any level of celebrity that we know of today.

These stars for many years have been heard time and again on our radios, Walkmans, iPods, and MP3 players. They've graced our television sets and stages of some of our favorite events such as the Super Bowl and NBA All-Star game.
