It’s that time of the year again − the time for DJ Earworm’s infectious “United State of Pop” mashup.
What started as a simple mashup 7 years ago has turned into something that people expect as the end of every year. Every year since 2007, DJ Earworm has taken the calendar year’s 25 most popular and biggest pop songs and combined them into one incredibly popular, happily constructed mashup dubbed the “United State of Pop”.

This year, his mashup “United State of Pop (Do What You Wanna Do)” includes a range of artists from Taylor Swift and Sam Smith to Iggy Azalea and Jason Derulo to DJ Snake. Yup, you read that right – DJ Snake’s “Turn Down For What” is in the mashup. DJ Earworm’s 2014 edition has got to be our favourite “United State of Pop” mashup to date as it touches all corners of mainstream music culture.
Taking the music videos and lyrics from each track featured in the mashup, DJ Earworm mixes these 25 tracks into one, creating what we would consider the entire 2014 in a nutshell. Watch the video below for the 2014 edition of “United State of Pop (Do What You Wanna Do”):
