DJ Earworm blends Ariana Grande, Post Malone, Zedd, Drake, and more 2018 favorites in annual mashupDj Earworm 2018

For more than a decade, DJ Earworm has been blending the year’s top songs into a massive “United States of Pop” mashup at the end of each year. He began the series in 2007, kicking off with a combo of songs from Soulja Boy, Akon, Avril Lavigne, Rihanna, Fergie, and more. It’s been 11 years since that inaugural mashup, and Earworm hasn’t slowed down in the slightest.

His 2018 edition just made its YouTube debut on December 4, highlighted by tracks from Ariana Grande, Post Malone, Zedd, Childish Gambino, Marshmello, and more. The four-minute mashup kicks off with songs from Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line, and Maroon 5 and Cardi B, before cycling through Drake‘s iconic “In My Feelings,” Bruno Mars and Cardi B’s “Finesse,” Travis Scott and Drake’s “Sicko Mode,” and dozens others.

Halsey calls out Victoria’s Secret Fashion show for lack of LGBTQ representationHalsey Victorias Secret Fasion Show

In a statement on Instagram, Halsey called attention to a lack of inclusivity in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on behalf of the LGBTQ community. This post comes a month after the live spectacle with musical performances from herself, Shawn Mendes, Bebe Rexha, and The Chainsmokers. After the event, the chief marketing officer for L Brands, Victoria’s Secret’s parent company, Ed Razek was quickly put on the chopping block after stating in a Vogue interview that transsexuals are not part of the 42-minute fantasy that is the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

The openly bisexual pop-star used the moment to direct attention to GLSEN, an organization that offers services aimed at protecting LGBTQ youth. She also took time to support the trans community and define her definition of fantasy, which includes “complete and total acceptance.”

Halsey recently collaborated with Illenium, who remixed her number four Billboard chart-topper, “Without Me.”

Illenium surprises with new remix of Halsey’s pop hit ‘Without Me’Illenium Press Photo1

At long last, Illenium has just let go of his remix of  Halsey‘s pop hit “Without Me,” which he first teased during his EDC Orlando set. His take on the release adds numerous of his own elements while still retaining the original’s ethos. The rising producer spoke about the remix, stating, “I’m stoked to finally get this one out to the world. I’ve always been a huge fan of Halsey, so being able to put my own spin on one of her tracks was really fun. Super happy with how it turned out, and I’m really hoping that it connects with both our fans.”

Illenium drops Halsey’s vocals into his signature future bass foundation, creating a more mellowed feeling, and frames them with guitar riffs and cymbal clangs. As the song progresses, the artist pivots from the instrumental layers into a drop meant to send his large audiences into a heartfelt frenzy. He connects the instrumental and future bass sections with building electronic layers, tying the remix together into a dynamic whole.
