Hear 2015's 50 biggest hits in a five-minute mash-up megamix

by Dan MacRae

It’s become customary for DJ Earworm (a.k.a. non-worm human Jordan Roseman) to craft a mega-sized mash-up featuring the biggest hits of the year. He essentially creates “The Radio: The Song” but reborn as a blissfully swirled new creation. It’s like a pop hit cram session that’s informative (“I forgot that the KONY 2012 guy dueted with Jessie J!”) and enchanting in the way its been painstakingly mixed to feel like one glorious fever dream.

This year’s go-around (titled: “United State of Pop: 50 Shades of Pop”) boasts blockbuster tune vendors rubbing elbows, wiggling butts, and offering up a hello from the other side. It’s a glorious box social where Fetty Wap and Adele get a chance to powerhang while Drake, Taylor Swift, and Justin Bieber swirl about. There’s a smidge of Meghan Trainor thrown in for good measure, but the charts deserve the blame for that.

Enough blabbing. Into the time machine you go.
