From looking at the recent singles chart i can see that the music inndustry singles sales are mainly domiated by maistream pop songs. This is because the pop genre is very big and appeals to both a young audience and older people. However some of these songs and artists also gain alot of publicity through tv shows such as the xfactor creating a wider audience and therefore get more sales. Seen as pop punk is not as popular as the pop genre it is harder for them to get into the singles chart. this may also be because the audience of the pop punk genre might prefer to buy albums and also prefer to download music.
