Define Pop

Not quite sure who's got me onto the Spotify thing, its like the 21st century's answer to Napster I guess. Crikey, was that a century ago?

Anyhoo, we're a day into London's Popfest, where loads of indiepop bands are playing. Its a small niche genre, with only a handful of fans gathered under a word that has pop in it.

Lets do some cross validation, and make of it what you will. Below is a list of bands/acts/artists playing the London Popfest and how many of their tracks appear on Spotify.
