Pop Music from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir

Let’s face it; music isn’t the same as it was 20 years ago. Music is an ever changing medium and with it new sounds, artists and fans emerge with every generation. Pop music is today’s new normality and with it an entire new way of listening to music through players, phones and even watches.  Pop music originates from the word ‘popular’ and its name is fitting as more people listen to music today than at any other time in history.

In 2004, Josh Groban's recording hit #1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart in the USA and #73 on the Billboard Hot 100, his first single to do so, and was nominated for a 2005 Grammy award.
