You're both (that's you and immel, who you quoted) halfway right. Pop is a very broad genre, though it's often only considered as the kind of music that is, indeed, on the Billboard Pop Chart. However, like I said, pop is a very broad genre, and includes pretty much everything leave for a couple of genres (e.g. jazz, avant-garde, classical music). Hence, I will include things that could technically fall into genres as rock or folk, but quite untechnically, they're just the darndest greatest pop songs ever recorded:
