The year's biggest hits in one* killer mashup

Is it that time again already?

Canada's Daniel Kim has just uploaded his annual mash-up of the year's biggest songs - dubbed Pop Danthology - in an audacious mix that sees Adele's Hello mingle with Fetty Wap's Trap Queen.

For the first time, this year's megamix comes in two instalments. Writing on his website, Kim explains it had become "increasingly challenging" to squeeze so many songs into a coherent four-minute mix. "I found myself cutting down so much of the original music just to jam in as many songs as I could. Not only was the work process not as enjoyable this way but the resulting sound was more choppy," he said.

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez emerge as the year's pop victors, with three tracks apiece - while Madonna, Tove Lo and Jason Derulo also feature heavily.

So here you go: Two mixes, nine minutes, 82 songs. And if you're still not satisfied, DJ Earworm's State Of Pop 2015 is only days away.




The full list of songs featured in the mixes is available on this page.

* OK, two killer mashups

Pop Danthology - 2014 edition

I wrote about DJ Earworm's United States of Pop last week. Now, his chief rival - Daniel Kim - has posted his own 2014 megamix.

With more tracks (66!) and a longer running time, it's a better floor-filler than the DJ Earworm mash-up. But I think this one suffers slightly from multiple tempo changes and an over-reliance on Magic's Rude in the mid-section.

See what you think - and you can go behind-the-scenes of the mix on Dan Kim's site.
