Examples

I like listening to pop songs.

This pop song sounds great.

She can sing lots of pop songs.

Pop songs today are very different from before.

We play pop songs in the car.

流行歌曲 (liú xíng gē qǔ) means a pop song. 流行 (liú xíng) means "popular, in fashion, to be in vogue", and 歌曲 (gē qǔ) means "song".

流行歌曲 (liú xíng gē qǔ) is the full, formal term; in casual speech people often shorten it to 流行歌 (liú xíng gē), or simply say 歌 (gē), "song", when the context already makes clear what kind of song is meant.

流行 (liú xíng) also appears widely outside music, describing anything fashionable or currently trending, from clothes to slang, so learning it here pays off well beyond this one phrase.
