'''Europop''' refers to a style of pop music that first developed in today's form in Europe, throughout the late 1970s. Europop topped the charts throughout the 1980s and
The use of the term Europop differs between the [[Eagle Land|United States]], [[United Kingdom]] and the rest of Europe. In the United States, British and even Australian acts such as [[Kylie Minogue]] can be termed Europop, while in the United Kingdom the term is used exclusively for acts from Continental Europe. British groups [[Girls Aloud]], ''Take That'', and Sugababes would never be referred to as "Europop" in their home country. For this wiki, we'll use the British definition.
In Continental Europe, the term "Europop" is used to describe non English language hits of the late 50s, 60s, and early 70s, mostly from France & Italy, before the 70s Euro disco era, popularised by Scopitone jukeboxes in France and Cinebox/Coilorama in Italy. Since the late 90s, the term has been more widely used to describe mainstream pop. This includes mainstream hits from all around Europe (influenced by 90s Eurodance, a.k.a. Euro-House), boy bands and girl bands (especially from UK, Germany and Sweden) and low-tempo pop ballads.
