Parents rating entertainer for teenager? (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

pop star

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'entertainer for teenager?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'parents rating' is the wordplay.
'parents' becomes 'pops' (pop is a kind of parent).
'rating' becomes 'tar' (both can mean a sailor).
'pops'+'tar'='POP-STAR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pop star that I've seen before include "Musical celebrity" , "Chart musician" , "Popular singer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
