Now even though Cool Accidents doesn’t often delve into the world of pop, I thought it might be worth our while doing a wrap of the years best pop tunes, I started compiling the list and realised damn! there’s been some BIG tunes over the past 12 months, From inescapable earwormers by Carly Rae Jepsen,Taylor Swift & Bruno Mars to the novelty pop perfection of Psy, not too mention our own Gotye’s worldwide domination with Somebody That I Used To Know*, 2012 has been a great year for pop music & guilty pleasures.
Halfway through my search I stumbled across this video below by DJ Earworm, who has gone and done the hard work for anyone compiling a list of the years best by expertly chopping up 25 of 2012’s hottest tracks into tiny pieces then rearranging them into this 4 minute mashup masterpiece that takes elements of each track and forms, in effect an entirely new song. Wow.
The amazing video above contains elements of the pop hits below:
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 * Lumineers - Ho Hey * One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful * Flo Rida and Sia - Wild Ones * Phillip Phillips - Home * Bruno Mars - It Will Rain * Katy Perry - Wide Awake * Alex Clare - Too Close * PSY - Gangnam Style * Taylor Swift - We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together * Flo Rida - Whistle
