Each December, mash-up artist DJ Earworm creates a mash-up of the songs that he thinks defined the pop music year in the United States. For this year's song, entitled "Do What You Wanna Do," the loudest songs, aptly, are Iggy Azalea's "Fancy," Pharrel Williams's "Happy," and Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off."
But there are also bursts of a handful of up-and-coming artists. Listen carefully, and you'll catch tunes from Meghan Trainor, Charli XCX, and Tove Lo.
DJ Earworm included a full list of the 25 songs used in the video on his Youtube page.
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
