The sound of music (3)

Ross

There are a few possibilities for this:

Which length description are you looking for?:

3

4

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'the sound' is the first definition.
(pop is a kind of sound)

'music' is the second definition.
(pop music)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for pop that I've seen before include "Music with mass appeal" , "Old jingle - . . . goes the weasel" , "Palindrome of music for the young" , "Explode; Eton society" , "Explosive sound; drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and the Evening Standard.
