i did, and i agree with you, most Pop artist today use that electronic sound in their songs..

it's either that or a more folksy accoustic sound, they tend to use mostly those 2

if you compare old pop stars with new ones, today's pop stars have a sound that's influenced by popular trends and since electronic music is the preferred genre for clubs Pop artists are adapting to that..

Even rap has become like party music (I blame the Black eyed peas)
Now almost every song is on that Auto Tune **** and there is alot of sound effects in songs..

seriously, listen to those electro pop hits, there's alot of ear catching spacey effects (idk how to explain it)

Those effects become part of the song arrangements part of the very structure for a pop hit formula.
