Can the idea of pop stretch into dance pop, indie pop, r&b pop and beyond? I honestly like to think of pop way beyond what's played on top 40 stations.

This will be fun, but it might take me a while.

Haha anything you think or has a slight pop sound counts.

more or less alphabetically...

Rehab – Amy Winehouse
I Gotta Feeling – Black Eyed Peas
Candyman – Christina Aguilera
The Reason – Hoobastank
Since You Been Gone – Kelly Clarkson
All Summer Long – Kid Rock
All These Things That I’ve Done – The Killers
Shattered (Turn the Car Around) – O.A.R.
Umbrella – Rihanna
Rock DJ – Robbie Williams

This is gonna be hard but here I go:

In no order:

Rihanna-Umbrella
Beyonce-Crazy In Love
Justin Timberlake-Cry Me A River
James Blunt-You're Beautiful
Christina Aguilera-Beautiful
Britney Spears-Toxic
Coldplay-Viva La Vida
U2-Beautiful Day
Mariah Carey-We Belong Together
Chris Brown-With You

1901 - Phoenix
Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson
Crazy In Love - Beyonce
Umbrella - Rihanna
Hometown Glory - Adele
Breathe Me - Sia
Cry Me a River - Justin Timberlake
Hips Don't Lie - Shakira
Beautiful - Christina Aguilera
Blood Bank - Bon Iver

* Eh, just came out of the top of my head, not really something I would truly call my Top 10, probably would interchange some.

Are "Crazy In Love" and "Umbrella" really POP songs?

Quickly and off the top of my head I'd have to say, in no particular order, :

"Because Of You" - Kelly Clarkson
"A Sorta Fairytale" - Tori Amos
"Broken" - Lifehouse
"Everytime" - Britney Spears
"Not As We" - Alanis Morissette
"When Under Ether" - PJ Harvey
"Save Me" - Remy Zero
"Circus" - Britney Spears
"Crazy" - Gnarls Barkley
"Hate Me" - Blue October

Yes MusicForever, "Crazy In Love" and "Umbrella" are Pop songs.

People please dont forget that Pop stands for Popular Music or Pop Culture Music. So anything can really be considered "Pop"!

"Aint No Other Man"
"With You"
"My Love"
"Disturbia"
"Womanizer"
"Like A Pill"
"Jesus Take The Wheel"
"Since U Been Gone"
"Halo"
"We Belong Together"

Okay not so sure but here's a pretty solid list.

1) Maneater - Nelly Furtado
2) Earth Intruders - Bjork
3) 15 step - Radiohead
4) Violet Hill - Coldplay
5) Rehab - Amy Winehouse
6) 1234 - Feist
7) Paparazzi - Lady Gaga
8) 1 Thing - Amerie
9) Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal
10) Paper Planes - M.I.A.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but here goes:

Christina Aguilera, "Ain't No Other Man"
Christina Aguilera, "Beautiful"
Christina Aguilera, "Candyman"
Missy Elliot, "Work It"
John Mayer, "Daughters"
