Top Ten Tuesday: DJ Earworm "United State of Pop 2015 (50 Shades of Pop)"

Not actually in the top ten, but I always like to spend the first week of no new songs in the Top Ten playing mashups like this that review the previous year's hits. In my mind, this is the top of the heap. But that could be because this is who I first heard was doing this. I have yearly mashups by this guy going back to 2007!

Top Ten Tuesday: 2014 Mashups

So last year, right around this time, there weren't any new songs on the Top Ten. So I did a post with the year-end mashups that DJ Earworm and Daniel Kim put together. Guess what? Same situation, same response. Enjoy!

Top Ten Tuesday: 2013 Mashups

Well, folks, we've done it. We've played all of the songs currently on the Top Ten. I knew this could happen in theory, but I never considered what my contingency plan was for if it happened. Fortunately, it happened right around the new year. So I've decided to play a couple of Year-End Mashup videos. The first is by my stand-by for this kind of thing: DJ Earworm.

New Countdown! Powering Through!

Fitz & the Tantrums

Well, I really thought this one wouldn't make it up on time. Not that it's a big deal, but I always am a little out of sorts when I don't get the podcast up on time. Tonight was a typical case of distracted procrastination, so I guess I only have myself to blame.

It's a fun countdown this week! And it's the penultimate countdown based on the weekly charts of the year! How did the year already evaporate?!

I hope you enjoy this one!

Countdown #178

Throwback Thursday: 2009

10. Pitbull - Hotel Room Service
9. Cobra Starship feauring Leighton Meester - Good Girls Go Bad
8. Keri Hilson featuring Kanye West and Ne-Yo - Knock You Down
7. Jay Sean featurin Lil Wayne - Down
6. Drake - Best I Ever Had
5. Kings of Leon - Use Somebody
4. Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me

Much like Katy Perry last week, what I'm throwing back to this week is the cuteness of Taylor Swift. Yeah, that's right. I think she's cute, too. This video is pretty fun even if it IS just a music video version of that joke in Not Another Teen Movie where the beautiful girl is hidden underneath "those GLASSES and that PONYTAIL! (Don't forget those paint-stained overalls!)" but it's a lot of fun.

3. Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye West - Run This Town
2. Miley Cyrus - Party in the U.S.A.
1. The Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling

I also wanted to include this DJ Earworm mashup because it's the best on of all the mashups he's released for the top songs of the year since 2007. I think most of the songs in this post's top ten make an appearance, if not all of them.
