Pop in Album Draft
Pop is the deepest pool in the game and the best place to find a number one. The catch is that most pop spins are full of hits, so picking the biggest of three is harder than it looks.

Which slots Pop fills
- The Ballad (track 6): it counts as a softer genre.
- Lead Single (track 3) and The Closer (track 12) want your biggest songs, whatever the genre. 29 Pop songs qualify.
- Deep Cut (track 9) wants your smallest song. 12 Pop songs qualify.
Albums score higher when they use fewer genres and more decades, so Pop works best as one of two or three genres spread across several eras. How scoring works.
