My Top 10 was posted yesterday on the CHIRP Radio blog:

I guess the closest thing to power pop would be Superchunk.  I would recommend the Rose Elinor Dougall.  And if you're a soft pop fan, my #11 selection (my honorable mentions are in order) Rumer is all Karen Carpenter/Burt Bacharach goodness.  She went platinum in the UK, and I presume she will do very well when introduced to the States.
