Who cares about how many people bought the record - what defines power pop is - multiple harmonies rickenbacker guitars (often - not always) the rush - a series of ascending / descending patterns that pull the listener on major / minor switches uptempo, upbeat
'pop' has nothing to do with how 'popular' it is in record sales - all the songs I mentioned were extraordinarily commercial - some sold millions, some didn't, but they're all power pop. Some of them were #1 singles.
