Pop is the ninth studio album by Irish rock band U2. It was produced by Flood, Howie B, and Steve Osborne, and was released on 3 March 1997 on Island Records. The album was a continuation of the band's 1990s musical reinvention, as they incorporated alternative rock, techno, dance, and electronica influences into their sound. Pop employed a variety of production techniques that were relatively new to U2, including sampling, loops, programmed drum machines, and sequencing.

Recording sessions began in 1995 with various record producers, including Nellee Hooper, Flood, Howie B, and Osborne, who were introducing the band to various electronica influences. At the time, drummer Larry Mullen Jr. was inactive due to a back injury, prompting the other band members to take different approaches to songwriting. Upon Mullen's return, the band began re-working much of their material but ultimately struggled to complete songs. After the band allowed manager Paul McGuinness to book their upcoming 1997 PopMart Tour before the record was completed, they felt rushed into delivering it. Even after delaying the album's release date from the 1996 Christmas and holiday season to March 1997, U2 ran out of time in the studio, working up to the last minute to complete songs.

In February 1997, U2 released Pops techno-heavy lead single, " Discothèque", one of six singles from the album. The record initially received favourable reviews from critics and reached number one in 35 countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States. However, the album's lifetime sales are among the lowest in U2's catalogue, and it received only a single platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America. Retrospectively, the album is viewed by the music press and public as a disappointment. The finished product was not to U2's liking, and they subsequently re-recorded and remixed many of the songs for single and compilation album releases.

Pop is a free-to-air children's television channel in the United Kingdom, owned by Sony Pictures Television. As of June 2014, it broadcasts cartoons, facts and game shows on Sky, Freesat, and Freeview. Its target audience is 4 to 15 year old boys and girls.

Pop may refer to:

Pop is a British fashion magazine co-founded in 2000 by Ashley Heath and editor Katie Grand. The initial creative directors for the magazine were Lee Swillingham and Stuart Spalding. Pop is published bi-annually.

Pop is a WiiWare and iOS video game by Australian developer Nnooo. The game was released in North America on May 12, 2008 as a WiiWare launch title, and in Europe on July 4, 2008. It was released by Electronic Arts in Japan on July 29, 2008. The iOS version was released on the App Store on March 5, 2009. The game was also released for the DSiWare service under the title Pop+ Solo.

Pop is the debut studio album from British pop duo and 2007 The X Factor finalists Same Difference. The album was released on December 1, 2008 by Syco Records. The album debuted at number 22 on the UK Album Chart, on first week sales of 31,064.

Pop is an American basic cable and satellite television network that is operated as a joint venture between CBS Corporation and Lions Gate Entertainment. It is a general entertainment channel, focusing primarily on programs pertaining to popular culture.

The network was originally conceived in 1981 as a barker channel service providing a display of localized channel and program listings for cable television providers. Later on, the service, now branded as Prevue, began to broadcast interstitial segments alongside the on-screen guide, which included entertainment news and promotions for upcoming programs. After Prevue's parent company, United Video Satellite Group, acquired the entertainment magazine TV Guide in 1998 (UVSG would in turn, be acquired by Gemstar the following year), the service was relaunched as TV Guide Channel (later TV Guide Network), which now featured full-length programs dealing with the entertainment industry, including news magazines and reality shows, along with red carpet coverage from major award shows.

Following the acquisition of TV Guide Network by Lionsgate in 2009, its programming began to shift towards a general entertainment format with reruns of dramas and sitcoms. The network was renamed TVGN following the acquisition of a 50% stake in the network by CBS Corporation. At the same time, as its original purpose grew obsolete because of the integrated program guides offered by digital television platforms, the network began to downplay and phase out its program listings service; as of June 2014, none of the network's carriage contracts require the display of the listings, and they were excluded entirely from its high definition simulcast. In 2015, the network was rebranded as Pop.

As of February 2015, Pop is available to approximately 75,255,000 pay television households (64.7% of households with at least one television set) in the United States.

"Pop" is a song by American boy band NSYNC. It was released on May 15, 2001 as the first single from their third studio album, Celebrity (2001). The song was written by Wade Robson and Justin Timberlake and produced by BT using his famous " stutter edit" sound.

The song's subject focuses on contemporary criticism of boy bands and pop music, and assures the public of their music being addictive and not being a trend. It reached #19 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and #9 on the UK Singles Chart.

In 2001, it won Four MTV Video Music Awards for Best Group Video, Best Pop Video, Best Dance Video, and Viewers Choice. Teen Choice Award for Choice Single.

The radio version was later included on their Greatest Hits album, the 2001 compilation album Now That's What I Call Music! 8, and their third compilation album The Essential *NSYNC.

The song was also heard on Canadian music mix MuchDance 2002. A remix of the song was included in the movie Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.

POP (Point of Purchase), in Japanese ポップ体, is a mono-weight typeface for the Japanese Kanji writing system. It is similar to both sans-serif and script-based typefaces in the Latin alphabet. The POP typeface is designed to effect the look of handwritten Kanji, as though produced by a felt-tip marker. Its loose, casual structure makes it similar to casual scripts in the Latin alphabet.

A common misconception is to associate POP with HGSoeiKakupoptai (HG創英角ﾎﾟｯﾌﾟ体), but it is only one of many types of casual script fonts produced in Japan, even from the font's foundry Soei (創英企画). Its popularity came from being distributed with Japanese version of Microsoft Office 2000, and it was also sold by Ricoh under TrueTypeWorld ValueFontD2.

Pop is the final album by Wolfgang Voigt's Gas project, released on 28 March 2000 on Mille Plateaux. At the time of its release, reviews noted 'a striking left turn' in the sound, compared to other Gas releases; the album sounds considerably crisper, with a less muffled kickdrum and less of the 'underwater' quality present on other releases under the name. Like all Gas albums, the tracks are untitled.

POP is the eleventh studio album released by Joachim Witt in 2004.

is Mao Abe's second album, released on . The album was released in two versions: a regular version and a limited edition CD+DVD version.

Pop is the only studio album by English post-punk band Tones on Tail, a side project of Bauhaus members Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins (who later went on to form Love and Rockets with David J), and "Bauhaus roadie" Glenn Campling. It was released on 6 April 1984, through record label Beggars Banquet.

In physics, pop is the sixth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, with the first, second, and third, fourth, and fifth derivatives being velocity, acceleration, jerk, snap (or jounce), and crackle, respectively; in other words, the pop is the rate of change of the crackle with respect to time. Pop is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions:

$$\vec p =\frac {d \vec c} {dt}=\frac {d^2 \vec s} {dt^2}=\frac {d^3 \vec j} {dt^3}=\frac {d^4 \vec a} {dt^4}=\frac {d^5 \vec v} {dt^5}=\frac {d^6 \vec r} {dt^6}$$

The following equations are used for constant pop:

$$\vec c = \vec c_0 + \vec p \,t$$

$$\vec s = \vec s_0 + \vec c_0 \,t + \frac{1}{2} \vec p \,t^2$$

$$\vec j = \vec j_0 + \vec s_0 \,t + \frac{1}{2} \vec c_0 \,t^2 + \frac{1}{6} \vec p \,t^3$$

$$\vec a = \vec a_0 + \vec j_0 \,t + \frac{1}{2} \vec s_0 \,t^2 + \frac{1}{6} \vec c_0 \,t^3 + \frac{1}{24} \vec p \,t^4$$

$$\vec v = \vec v_0 + \vec a_0 \,t + \frac{1}{2} \vec j_0 \,t^2 + \frac{1}{6} \vec s_0 \,t^3 + \frac{1}{24} \vec c_0 \,t^4 + \frac{1}{120} \vec p \,t^5$$

$$\vec r = \vec r_0 + \vec v_0 \,t + \frac{1}{2} \vec a_0 \,t^2 + \frac{1}{6} \vec j_0 \,t^3 + \frac{1}{24} \vec s_0 \,t^4 + \frac{1}{120} \vec c_0 \,t^5 + \frac{1}{720} \vec p \,t^6$$

where

$$\vec p$$
: constant pop,

$$\vec c_0$$
: initial crackle,

$$\vec c$$
: final crackle,

$$\vec s_0$$
: initial jounce,

$$\vec s$$
: final jounce,

$$\vec j_0$$
: initial jerk,

$$\vec j$$
: final jerk,

$$\vec a_0$$
: initial acceleration,

$$\vec a$$
: final acceleration,

$$\vec v_0$$
: initial velocity,

$$\vec v$$
: final velocity,

$$\vec r_0$$
: initial position,

$$\vec r$$
: final position,

t
: time between initial and final states.

The name "pop", along with "snap" (also referred to as jounce) and " crackle" are somewhat facetious terms for the fourth, fifth, and sixth derivatives of position, being a reference to Snap, Crackle, and Pop. Currently, there are no well-accepted designations for the derivatives of pop. Higher-order derivatives of position are not commonly useful. Thus, there has been no consensus among physicists on the proper names for derivatives above pop. Despite this, physicists have proposed other names such as "lock", "drop", "shot", and "put" for seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth derivatives .
