Country pop with roots in both the countrypolitan sound and in soft rock is a subgenre of country music that first emerged in the 1970s.[citation needed] Although the term first referred to country music songs and artists that crossed over to Top 40 radio[citation needed] country pop acts are now more likely to cross over to adult contemporary.[citation needed]
