Ummmm. Happy New Year, guys?! Remember DJ Earworm used to release his annual tradition mashup a couple days before New Years? Seems he releases his mix earlier and earlier every year. It’s always fun to catch his mashup, though my fave United State of Pops were probably a couple of the earlier ones, sound wise and thematically. It’s still fun to catch all the tunes in the mix, especially the songs and/or artists that were featured on I Heart Moosiq over the past couple years that went on to much deserved and predicted huge success. You know… Lorde, Capital Cities, Imagine Dragons, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, etc… Now, can someone do a World State of Pop 2013 or a UK State of Pop 2013?

Here it is! I swear he releases it earlier and earlier every year. It used to be a day or two before NYE, no? I’ll probably add on some thoughts on this later. But for now…
A mashup of the 25 biggest hits during 2012 in the U.S.
Featuring: Gotye and Kimbra – Somebody That I Used To Know Fun. – Some Nights Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe Maroon 5 – One More Night Fun. and Janelle Monáe – We Are Young Maroon 5 and Wiz Khalifa – Payphone Ellie Goulding – Lights Rihanna – Diamonds Bruno Mars – Locked Out Of Heaven Ke$Ha – Die Young Kelly Clarkson – Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) Flo Rida – Good Feeling Nicki Minaj – Starships The Wanted – Glad You Came Adele – Set Fire To The Rain Lumineers – Ho Hey One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful Flo Rida and Sia – Wild Ones Phillip Phillips – Home Bruno Mars – It Will Rain Katy Perry – Wide Awake Alex Clare – Too Close PSY – Gangnam Style Taylor Swift – We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together Flo Rida – Whistle
The most popular songs in the U.S., as determined by Billboard’s weekly Hot 100 charts.
EDIT: This one’s pretty good, folks. DJ Earworm did well. The last couple years I wasn’t as impressed, but the theme and lyrics work on this one is great. It’s not just party party dance dance like the last two years and goes back to the early ones before that. Remember, the point of his mashups isn’t just fun mashing, but to create a video/lyrics masterpiece. He lost a bit of that the last two end of year mixes. This Shine Brighter thing is pretty cool, bud.

I knew it was about time to check for DJ Earworm’s end of year mix!
Here it is, DJ Earworm’s epic mashup, United State of Pop 2011 (World Go Boom). I love how he always mixes the videos too. So, what do you think? Better than United State of Pop 2010 (which I thought was okay)? How about 2009 (which I thought was absolutely incredible)?
Remember, this is 100% an American perspective only. Enjoy!
Tracklist in alphabetical order based on artist names:
Adele – Rolling In The Deep Adele – Someone Like You Black Eyed Peas – Just Can’t Get Enough Bruno Mars – Grenade Bruno Mars – The Lazy Song Britney Spears – Till The World Ends Cee Lo Green – F* You Enrique Iglesias – Tonight (I’m Lovin’ You) Foster the People – Pumped Up Kicks Jennifer Lopez – On The Floor Jeremih feat. 50 cent – Down On Me Katy Perry – Firework Katy Perry – E.T. Katy Perry – Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)

UPDATE: After a few listens, I believe 2009’s was still the best. While very fun and a great showcase, the 2011 mashup seems far less cohesive and far more messy. Outside of this mashup, I think it bespeaks something very good about the year in music in the US though… I believe the top pop songs of 2011 are actually much harder to all mashup together into a mix due to the variety of sounds and genres that were being put forth and embraced. It’s been a great year for music, no doubt.
