A popular song was the mainstream of American popular music. It was the backbone of the American music industry from the early 20th century to the mid-1950s. The standard format was 32 bars of four lines of eight bars each. Professional lyricists wrote the words, composers set the music, and New York publishing companies known collectively as Tin Pan Alley (later to refer to the pop music industry) sold the sheet music. A male or female singer would record the song with an orchestra and sell it as a single record (78 or 45 rpm) with one song on each side.

アメリカの大衆音楽の主流をなした流行歌曲。20世紀初頭から1950年代半ばまでのアメリカ音楽業界を支えてきた。8小節ずつ4行の32小節をひとまとまりとする形が標準で,専門の作詞家が詞を書き,作曲家が曲をつけ,ニューヨークの〈ティン・パン・アリーTin Pan Alley〉と総称される出版社(のちにはポピュラー音楽業界を指すようにもなった)が楽譜を売り,男性もしくは女性歌手がオーケストラ伴奏で録音し,片面1曲ずつのシングル盤(78回転もしくは45回転)のレコードとして売り出す,というのが典型的な発表方法であった。
