I don't think you can compare bands with vastly different popularities.
Coldplay and U2 are much more famous than most bands that have cropped up over the last few years.

KT Tunstall/Joss Stone/Katie Melua/Dido may be popular, but their music isn't pop in my eyes - they belong in a category with Jack Johnson (as a male example).

So pop then.
