Is Pop coming back?
Like I said HERE last year and HERE back in '95 (not to mention countless other times to many people), I TRULY believe music trends tend to go in circles....

To sum up my theory:
near the end of every decade, pop and dance start making a comeback, peak and blowout a little past the beginning of the next decade.

'05 showed signs of a possible upcoming emergence (as the second link shows)
'06 continued these signs and seemed to step it up

THIS YEAR

*Rihanna's new album (well, the first half) is dance/pop and unashamed of it.
*Darren Hayes new album supports this theory (what ive heard of it)
*The Spice Girl reunion chances actually seeing the light of day


OH AND THIS!

DURAN DURAN featuring TIMBALAND.... oh and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - "NIGHT RUNNER"



My bet..... This time next year, it will be undeniable. Pop will be coming back.
