More pop punk than just straight pop, but there you go. They band started in 1985 with Eric Stefani and John Spence, slowly collecting members are forming up until 1987 when Spence committed suicide causing the band to break for a few weeks before reforming with so changes. By 1990 they were signed to Interscope who ultimately did not help them at all causing their CD to fail and not supporting the tour. Things continued going downhill with Interscope rejecting their ideas and forcing a producer on them, making Eric quit the band by 1994. The label ended up sub-licensing the group to a different label because they didn't want them, and the band decided to start releasing their own stuff on their own label, which is where they found success. Their song became hits, won them some Grammy's and the album this is from was certified eight times platinum. Their success continued, and Gwen Stefani started releasing solo stuff concurrently with being in No Doubt, quickly followed by other band members doing the same. With so much going on individually, the group has gone on a couple of hiatuses, but they always seem to come back together. I don't know if that'll continue to be the case, but we'll see.
Rolling with the genre specific choices, today we need a pop song we like. I don't know how pop this is, but my grandma went with Hot Dog by Elvis. My mom threw it back to Barbie Girl by Aqua, and Will chose Airplanes by B.o.b. and Hayley Williams which made Sammy want to strangle him. She absolutely hates that song. Her choice took awhile, but she finally settled on Solo by Clean Bandit featuring Demi Lovato. Anna's is I think the most modern with New Rules by Dua Lipa.
Peace.
