Earworm states that "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 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 cutoff. From my perspective, a song for a year-end mix belongs in the year it will be remembered from, not the year it ended its 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 due to the bias of the cut-off date. As a bonus I am able to spend more time on the mixes and more fully realize them."

Jordan Roseman (aka DJ Earworm) is a San Francisco-based mashup artist who has achieved recognition for his technically sophisticated, songwriting oriented music and video mashups.[1][2] His annual “United State of Pop” mashups, short mixes featuring the top 25 songs of the year according to Billboard magazine, have reached the Top 100 for national radio play.[3]

Biography

Roseman was born into a big family of musicians and raised in eastern Iowa and Evanston, Illinois.[2][4] In his early life, he played piano and produced original electronic music on a computer, later majoring in music theory and computer science at the University of Illinois. He began using ACID Pro recreationally in 2003. After encouragement from DJ Adrian at Club Bootie, Roseman created the moniker DJ Earworm ("earworm" referencing a song that repeats uncontrollably in one's mind) and began releasing mashups on a website.[5]

DJ Earworm has a unique mashup style that consists of a compositional, songwriting approach. He gradually layers samples on top of one another, matching keys and subtly altering melodies. His work often incorporates phrases and snippets from vocal tracks which have been rearranged in order to convey an entirely new meaning than the original material, such as the political message in his mashup “No More Gas”. He has been contrasted with mashup artist Girl Talk, who has a more DJ-oriented style.[6]

He is the author of Audio Mashup Construction Kit (Wiley, 2006), a how-to manual for creating mashups.[7]

At the 2008 IDEA conference, he revealed that he has made mashups using Ableton Live₨, and now DJs live with the same software.[8]

Earworm's 2007 mashup, "United State of Pop 2007 (Self Titled)” consisted of the top 25 songs of 2007 according to Billboard.[9] The song crossed beyond the online download market, reaching the Top 100 for national radio play in February 2008. Earworm is the first mashup artist to have a bootleg mashup enter Billboard’s charts.[10] As of August 12, 2011, the song has surpassed 4.5 million views on YouTube, and it has peaked at number 71 on the CHR/Top 40 Mediabase radio chart.[citation needed]

The official YouTube video of the song had 200,000 views within the first two weeks of release. The mashup peaked at number 58 on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart, and entered the Pop 100 chart.[11] As of December 13, 2011, the video has received over 9.5 million views on YouTube, and it has peaked at number 81 on the CHR/Top 40 Mediabase radio chart.[citation needed]

The fifth year-end mashup, "United State of Pop 2011 (World Go Boom)" was released on December 25, 2011. This was the first time this was not based on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 chart, but on the weekly charts throughout the year, which "ensures that all the late-breaking hits are included in the 2011 mix".[13] It used a combination of Rihanna's "We Found Love", Katy Perry's Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.), Lady Gaga's Born This Way, and Britney Spears' "Till The World Ends" as the backing track.

It is the shortest mashup in the United State of Pop series.[16] It is the second mashup not to follow the year-end chart, due to the fact that Rihanna's We Found Love and LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" both appeared on the chart, and they were both featured in last year's mashup, and Earworm refuses to make mashups with the same song in two mashups. It used a combination of Kesha's "Die Young", Ellie Goulding's "Lights" and some whistles of Flo Rida's "Whistle" as the backing track.[17] [citation needed]Also, 2011 hits "Lights" and "Glad You Came" made it to the 2012 mashup because these singles were released in the United States in 2012.
