Popular music could be described as music that appeals to a wide audience. There are diverse genres that can all be named popular, from classical music to indie rock. For something to be popular it must be recognisable by many, and successful. Popular music can be influenced by current affairs, urban culture and many other factors such as television programmes and sport. In the music charts at present there are a diverse range of music genres all in the same top 40, from 'The killers', to 'Take That' and 'MGMT'. All very different in their style but similar in their popularity. They are all seen as popular due to their high record sales and fan bases. Popular music can be related to by the public easily as it is usually given television, radio and magazine marketing regularly so that the public are aware of the artists. Popular music is enjoyed collectively by large groups of people no matter what its style or purpose.

This is a pretty good first attempt, perhaps a little on some of the other meanings of popular may have been useful but within a tolerable word limit.
