Popservations loves a good year-end list (one up, several more to go), but no one surveys the past 12 months of music quite like DJ Earworm does.

As is his annual tradition, the San Francisco-based mashup master (aka Jordan Roseman) scanned Billboard’s year-end Hot 100 chart to create what is essentially an entirely new pop song from 25 hit singles. Dubbed “Shine Brighter,” the 2012 edition of DJ Earworm’s “United State of Pop” is a free download (see below) and has an official music video too:

Here’s the complete list of 2012 hits that DJ Earworm sliced and diced:

Gotye and Kimbra – “Somebody That I Used To Know”
Fun. – “Some Nights”
Carly Rae Jepsen – “Call Me Maybe”
Maroon 5 – “One More Night”
Fun. and Janelle Monáe – “We Are Young”
Maroon 5 and Wiz Khalifa – “Payphone”
Ellie Goulding – “Lights”
Rihanna – “Diamonds”
Bruno Mars – “Locked Out Of Heaven”
Ke$Ha – “Die Young”
Kelly Clarkson – “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)”
Flo Rida – “Good Feeling”
Nicki Minaj – “Starships”
The Wanted – “Glad You Came”
Adele – “Set Fire To The Rain”

Taylor Swift – “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”
Flo Rida – “Whistle”

Chicago Magazine‘s interview with DJ Earworm is definitely worth a look. If, like me, you were wondering why this year’s edition arrived much earlier (he typically posts it on Christmas Day), he provides the answer.
