Well duh. If you come to pop expecting substance then you're coming with the wrong expectations. It's supposed to be catchy. End story. If you're trying to find something of worth other than that then you're doing it wrong. True, sometimes an artist like Kylie Minogue (shame on you, TH) or Madonna can inject originality into their music while remaining as catchy as they need to be, but that's really just a bonus that makes them worth listening to over a long period of time rather than two minutes and then moving on to the next faceless clone. If you're going to listen to Britney Spears then you need to quit taking your taste in music so seriously and leave your brain at the door.

And if a song is knocking around in your head after you listen to it then no matter how much you think you hate it some part of you likes it. Stop thinking and let that part have it's fun.
