Artist Styles "United State of Pop"

Watch and listen to the Top 25 Billboard hits in less than five minutes, thanks to mashup artist DJ Earworm AKA Jordan Roseman.

Titled "United State of Pop," the mashups or mixes of songs compile the most opular radio plays of a given year. To date, T-Pain, Justin Timberlake and Rihanna have each featured in songs used for every "United States of Pop."

"I thought, wouldn't it be cool to take a bunch of songs from a single year and mash them all up together, to make a sort of musical time capsule capturing the zeitgeist of the era," said Jordan "DJ Earworm" Roseman in a 2008 Mother Jones interview.

At IDEA 2008, Roseman explained the art of the mashup. He shared that he uses Ableton Live to build his compilations.
