I think the best way to answer this question is to tune into one of your many local clearchannel stations. "Rated" as in from major reviewers are pretty much all bought by the music industry. Even supposedly serious mags like Rolling Stone give a 1.5 - 2.0 star bonus for being pop music from a big label.
So it's safe to say that all pop music is overrated without commenting on the quality at all.
