How many pop stars are there?

There is no definitive answer to this question as the definition of a pop star can vary. However, according to a 2019 report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), there were an estimated 3,000 pop artists who sold more than 100,000 copies of their albums worldwide in that year. This number is likely to be a conservative estimate, as it does not include artists who may have sold fewer albums but have a large following on social media or streaming platforms.
