Pop music isnt as affected by internet piracy as other genres. I mean it still is affected just not as much, and pop music gets sold by the hundreds of thousands which does make them a profit. Its also because pop music is accesible to such a huge audiance worldwide, only a small percentage of that audiance needs to physically purchase the music.

Also they get lots of money from radio plays, that is a really big earner.
