 Popular music
Popular music, often called simply pop music, is music belonging to any of a number of contemporary musical styles broadly popular (ergo the term).
Through the late 1940s, the term was definitely a list of songs, not a list of records.
Mostly a singles medium, pop music was influenced by the beat, arrangements, and style of rock & roll (and sometimes doo wop), and it didn't sound bad on the radio next to rock & roll.

 The Rise and Fall of Popular Music by Donald Clarke: Chapter 11 The 1940s: War and Other Calamities   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
The decade of the 1940s, while dominated by the war, provided two cases in which self-interested organizations forced changes which had wholly unexpected results and were not welcomed by those whose interests were supposedly being served: the ASCAP strike against broadcasters and the musicians’ union strikes against the record companies.
The 1940s was the second era (and not the last) in which independent labels were formed to serve an industry whose largest companies were geared towards serving the majority.
In the 1940s his music was seen both as good pop and as good jazz, and indeed, a compilation on four Mosaic CDs of the arrangements of Bill Holman and Bill Russo (1951-63) revealed much beauty and fine playing, an admonishment to those of us who may have given up on Kenton too easily.

This mixture of swashbuckling adventure and British naval tradition is leavened with well-placed humour and a cast of colourful characters, but at the heart of the tales is Gruffudd's quick-thinking, courageous Hornblower, a starry-eyed officer with the luck of the gods and the steely determination of an old-fashioned hero.
Louis Mazzini, a young man, the son of a duke's daughter and a penniless Italian singer who died at his birth, vows to eliminate the ten people who stand between him and the dukedom, a desire for vengeance that becomes intensified when his mother, on her own death, is refused admission to the family vault.

 MILESAGO - Radio - Top 40 Radio and the Pop Charts
Until the late 1940s the main commercial and professional recording medium was the 78rpm shellac disc, and its fragility, relatively low fidelity and short duration -- even the largest discs ran only about 10 minutes -- made it difficult to pre-record programs in the way we take for granted today.
Pop TV was also vastly more expensive to produce than a Top 40 radio show, and it wasn't until the advent of cable TV and the music video in the early 80s that continuous music Top 40 television became a useful option for television broadcasters.
British listeners were able to hear stations like Radio Luxembourg thanks to the phenomenon called "ionospheric skip", which allowed the powerful AM radio signals to bounce off the ionosphere and travel great distances, but this was only possible after dark because solar radiation disrupted the effect in daylight hours.

 Anglo Plugging Artist - The British Music Industry's Favourite Pluggers
Both belong to the same singer songwriter heritage - in the 1930s and 1940s Guthrie wrote from a left wing standpoint and succeeded in injecting some powerful rhetoric into the music industry without forgetting he was there to entertain; Billy Bragg pulled off the same trick in the 1980s and 1990s.
He was also a driving force behind Red Wedge, the musician's pressure group dedicated to ousting the Conservative government (they disbanded after the 1987 General Election when the Conservatives got back in).
It was while playing benefits for the striking miners that Billy came into contact with real political folk singers, and saw parallels between what he was trying to do and the effect of their stirring, hand -me-down folk songs.
