What about Cathy Dennis?
In my opinion, neither Sa Chris or Houdini have quite grasped what we are talking about here. Songs that you like that were in the charts are rarely great pop songs. We're talking total cross genre appeal, a timeless quality, has to be catchy bordering (but not quite) on annoying. The best of these don't need to be longer than three minutes, and rarely are. Longer songs like Blue monday or Don't you want me may still fit the bill, but they make their statements inside the first minute.
The Greatest Pop Singles In The World
Houdini - yes it is about the hooks. That and the production mostly. We're I am talking songs you could take anywhere in the world, to folk who've never seen a stereo, and instantly get them dancing. The best have the same effect whether at your uncle's wedding or a trendy night in Shoreditch.
the way you denounced Dancing queen and Come on Eileen smacked of snobbery.
