For pop, read rock, pop, rap, R&B, hip-hop, and soul, including any music from other genres that played a huge influence on the development of the other styles listed. The rules are pretty simple. An album must be in print (as defined by being available new from Amazon at the time this list was created), and it must be an actual album, not a compilation (there is another list for those).
