Pop is the ninth studio album by Irish rock band U2, released in March 1997. It is notable for combining elements of popular nineties techno with traditional U2 alternative guitar rock. Although an early commercial success at the time of its release — it reached number one in 32 countries, including the UK and the US — its lifetime sales are among the lowest in U2's catalogue and it was only certified RIAA platinum once, the first time since the band's album October. Critical reaction was mixed at the time of its release, but it has come to be regarded as one of the band's most experimental and innovative albums. See Less
