Pop Records
The origins of pop music can be traced back in Napoli, Italy, in 1679, when Alessandro Scarlatti composed his first opera, or even earlier, when Francesco Provenzale coined the musical language that Scarlatti popularized: light, lively and catchy.
Most Music Historians agree that the first Pop song was Alexander's Ragtime Band by Irving Berlin in 1911. To fully comprehend the significance of Alexander's, you have to understand that this song had a presence on the charts for five straight decades.
