A year in pop: by DJ Earworm


(ft Miley, Macklemore, Gaga and Taylor, among others)

Ever wondered what all of the year's biggest singles would sound like rolled into a five-and-a-half minute mashup track? No? Not even after reading that sentence?

It's been a big year for pop music. So to help us digest an amalgam of modern day chart music, the aptly named DJ Earworm has shoved 2013's biggest hits into one bowl for your listening pleasure. It's a bit like being served a really horrendous salad involving Haribo, Nice 'N' Spicy Nik Naks, suncream, rat poison, Ginsters pasties and little bits of foam finger thrown in. As croutons.


Something of an annual event, Earworm's United State Of Pop video features a mashup of the top 25 Billboard singles and is this year entitled Living The Fantasy, a reference to Lorde's track Royals. You can hear snippets of the Kiwi popstar alongside Miley, Imagine Dragons, Justin Timberlake, Macklemore, Daft Punk, Avicii, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and loads of generic sounding EDM which was probably created by either Calvin Harris or David Guetta.


What do you think of this distilled version of 2013?
