Depends on your version of Pop. Acoustic pop, Top 40, Dance Pop, Punk Pop, etc. Its pretty endless!
Anyway, for more upbeat styles of pop -
Agree with FoolThemAll on The Ditty Bops and Lily Allen - Of the six listed they are the generally more catchier in two wildly different styles.
Bic Runga is more understated and calming, while Rachael Yamagata/Regina Spektor take on a more singer/songwriter approach that would generally land them on an Adult Alternative station
Additional listens (partly taken from my post in the best of 2006 thread)-
The Pipettes - 60s'ish girl group from England - "ABC" "Judy" "Pull Shapes"
Camera Obscura - Rock Pop - "Let's Get Out of This Country" "Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken", "Come Back Margaret"
Amy Winehouse - RnB/Jazz Pop - "Love Is A Losing Game" "Back to Black" "You Know I'm No Good"
Then there are some favorites from a few years ago -
Shivaree - Rock/Countryish - "Goodnight Moon" "Reseda Casino"
Girls Aloud - Girl Group - "Sound of the Underground"
April March - Frenchish - "Laisse Tomber Les Filles" (or the english version "Chick Habit")
Blumchen - German dance pop
