To start another year, let’s post DJ Earworm’s mashup of the Top 25 Billboard hits of 2011, The World Go Boom. I enjoy this mash up way more than his 2010 attempt. 2009 still is a work of absolute genius. All of them are ridiculously impressive. The songs this year were:
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.)
Lady Gaga - Born This Way
LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem
LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It
Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On
Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger
Nicki Minaj - Super Bass
OneRepublic - Good Life
Pink - Raise Your Glass
Pitbull - Give Me Everything
Rihanna - S&M
Rihanna - We Found Love
It’s interesting to note that multiple artists have multiple hits. Also, the prominence of dance music is really apparent. OneRepublic, Foster the People, and Adele are the only non, pop dance hits on this list. Here’s an NPR article with Roseman (Earworm), where he talks about the boom boom boom boom beat that dominated the pop charts, and compares this era to when Disco was popular.
This always makes me excited that there is a whole year to come of music and creativity. What in the world will make next years mashup? Only time will tell.
And in case you wanna go back in time and see 2009, I’ll just make that my next entry.
