typically refers to pop musical records that revolutionized the pop genre, won record-setting awards and feats, or features the biggest hits of the musician that released it; or it could be all three. Pop bibles are meant to represent what it means to create a truly perfect and iconic pop album.
some examples include "Thriller" by Michael Jackson and "Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry.
1989 by Taylor Swift - no pop album can compete with the lush melodies and synths of 1989. The bridge on “Out of the woods” by its self is already a masterpiece. Songs like Blank Space, Wildest Dreams & Style are just 3 hits from an album packed with chart toppers that represent the variety in the sonic palette for the album. Not to mention it spawned one of the biggest singles of all time “Shake It Off” - everyone and they’re grandmother knows that song.
Friend : “Did you know 1989 is the most awarded pop album in history?”
Me: Duh it’s the bible of pop
