History.
In 1999, the publishing house Emap enticed Grand to leave "Dazed & Confused" and invited her to work on the cult magazine "The Face", as the magazine's official fashion director. At the same time Emap offered her a position as Editor-in-Chief of an as-yet unnamed new magazine. The first issue of "Pop" was launched in September 2000. Grand said that her main concept was that "it to be really jolly. And pink — I was obsessed with it being pink."
Grand left "Pop" in 2008, along with creative directors Swillingham and Spalding, to establish a rival magazine, "Love", published by Conde Nast.
"Pop" relaunched in an online digital format as THEPOP.COM. and the first issue under new management was released on 1 September 2009. Dasha Zhukova was hired as editor-in-chief with Ashley Heath as the Editorial Director and David Girhammar as an editor.
On 1 September 2010 Britney Spears appeared on the cover of the magazine for her first time.
