Disneymania 3
''Disneymania 3'' is the third installment in the Disneymania album series presenting songs from Disney films, performed by various musical artists. The album was released on February 15, 2005 and was certified Gold soon after. It peaked at #30 on the ''Billboard'' 200, one spot behind its predecessor '' Disneymania 2''. Critical reception Allmusic gave the album a rating of 3 stars out of 5, writing "As with all the Disneymania comps, the quality of the performances is all over the place, ranging from highlights like Bowling for Soup's cheeky, punky take on The Jungle Book's ' Bare Necessities' to missteps like Jesse McCartney's whiny version of ' When You Wish Upon a Star'...Like the volumes that came before it, ''Disneymania, Vol. 3'' isn't perfect, but fans of Disney's current pop stars should find at least a few enjoyable moments here."

Pop Music
Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form during the mid-1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. The terms ''popular music'' and ''pop music'' are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular and includes many disparate styles. During the 1950s and 1960s, pop music encompassed rock and roll and the youth-oriented styles it influenced. ''Rock'' and ''pop'' music remained roughly synonymous until the late 1960s, after which ''pop'' became associated with music that was more commercial, ephemeral, and accessible. Although much of the music that appears on record charts is considered to be pop music, the genre is distinguished from chart music. Identifying factors usually include repeated choruses and hooks, short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), and rhythms or tempos that can be easily danced to. Much pop music also borrows elements from other styles ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
