The man known for his ingenious year end mash-ups is back to present a montage of the latest and greatest in the world of pop music under the single title “World Go Boom”.
From Adele to Rihanna all screwed, chopped and glued into a single 5 minute number Dj Earworm provides us memorabilia of 2011 in the form of song & dance.
A few words Dj Earworm shared with his fans on this video
“It doesn’t match Billboard’s U.S. year-end list, since I’m basing it off of the weekly lists this year in order to more accurately reflect what was actually popular during 2011. Because of the Billboard’s early cut off date and their emphasis on chart longevity, songs that are released after August are either split between the two years or moved to the next year. I also don’t want a track appearing two years in a row just because it happened to be peaking right at the arbitrary cutoff date. From my perspective, a song belongs in the year it peaked, not the year it ended its long run. For instance, “We Found Love”, which has been #1 for the last 8 weeks of the year, is nowhere to be seen in Billboard’s Top 25, and may not make it next year either. This year-end bias seems inaccurate to me, and I want to more truly reflect the pop music scene from the American perspective.”
