A lot of that wouldn't really be my definition of pop, but it's a variable term that means different things to different people. Some of them drift between pop and rock but most of them more the latter. Beatles likely the most Pop but they had some stuff that was so outside the norm.
I agree about people potentially have different definitions of Pop, which is why I asked. For me, Pop is just what is selling the most at the time. Pop is in my view not really a genre, as the genre that is Pop is constantly changing. (Classic) Rock and Pop were once the same in my view, as Rock was the most popular style at the time. Rock is no longer the most popular genre, so I wouldn't define those bands as Pop by today's Pop standards. Pop today is tough to define, but I would kinda define it as mostly hip-hop and/or "singer with synthesized instruments and hip hop elements".
