Category: Since 2007, DJ Earworm has put together an annual United State of Pop mashup, blending together the year’s biggest chart hits into one big zeitgeist-capturing smoothie.
Unlike your traditional linear mash-up mix, DJ Earworm’s technique is to stick with just a couple of beats and throw in dozens of recognisable samples from 50 of the year’s biggest pop tunes, in a bewildering sensory experience.
It kicks off with samples from Where Are Ü Now, Hello and The Hills and then cycles through a whole lot more; as the producer told Billboard, “It’s a more eclectic mix than it was five years ago… Music has been going through a softer phase so there’s that return of adult contemporary… And then there’s sort of retro, uptempo dance stuff, and that’s represented by The Weeknd track.”
In amongst the Maroon 5, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift you’ll also find hefty portions of Major Lazer, Jack Ü, Drake, The Weeknd and AlunaGeorge – scroll down to watch the equally epic mash-up video and check out the full list of tracks sampled.
