The Year In Pop: Mashing Up Billboard’s Top 25 of 2010
For the third year in a row, DJ Earworm has created a mashup of the top 25 songs of the year, as determined by Billboard, in his 2010 United States of Pop (Don’t Stop the Pop). Featured: Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Enrique Iglesias (really? He was back this year?), the Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Eminem, and — wait, no Bieber?!? I can’t imagine a 2010 mashup without the Baby hook that I still maintain ripped off “Runaround Sue” (oh look! Proof!). Anyway — 2010 certainly looks and sounds like a non-stop party here, even though technically Bad Romance was 2009. The mashup clearly belongs to Ke$ha and Katy Perry, the oft-repeated hookiest of the hooky, but you’ll catch all your favorites. Can’t help but notice the absence of Kanye here, too. And Miley, and Taylor. Ah well. Next year.
In the meantime: Let’s go all the way tonight. Tik Tok, don’t stop. Tonight we can go a little longer. I wanna be a billionaire. Let the DJ go to play my favorite song. There’s not a thing that I would change. ‘Cause your’e amazing just the way you are. Or, were. Goodbye, 2010.
