DJ Earworm's United States of Pop


DJ Earworm's annual “United State of Pop” mashups, short mixes featuring Billboard magazine's top 25 songs of the year, have reached the Top 100 for national radio play. According to Wikipedia, DJ Earworm is the first mashup artist to have a bootleg mashup enter Billboard’s charts. But he doesn't operate purely as a bootleg artist -- he has been contacted by prominent musicians to make mashups from their source material, including Annie Lennox, for whom he created a piece entitled "Backwards/Forwards" that contains nine of her songs (and is set forth below at the bottom of this post). And on September 12, 2009, Earworm released an official Sean Kingston mashup called "A Beautiful Mashup." Here's "Blame it on the Pop," compiled from Billboard's top 25 hits of 2009, followed by "Backwards/Forwards" and "A Beautiful Mashup":
