I have the same thing. It's not really a "pop" though.

Sometimes it goes away for a couple of weeks.

Yeah, my chest pops once or twice a day when i stretch it out. It is really loud and people look at me and say "where the hell did that come from?"

Yeah, I do it every 15 minutes or so.  Mine's mostly a cracking and crunching sound though. I only get the really loud pop a few times a week.

it's not necessarily a bad thing that your chest does this..  likely your sterno-clavicular joints or sterno-costal joints are irritated by tight pec muscles pulling the joints close and jamming them up.   Stretch your pecs more, and strengthen your scapula stabilizers.
