By AUTUMN JOHNSON

Every year, Bay Area-based “DJ Earworm” mashes up the top 25 songs. The musical compilation and video montage, released before the holidays, allows listeners to reflect back at the last 12 months.

“This year was a challenge because there were a lot of ballads to work in, but they all ended up sounding great,” DJ Earworm (aka Jordan Roseman) said. “It was about a month of work to get all 25 songs in and also make the video.”

“The United State of Pop 2014: Do What You Wanna Do” was released four weeks ago and has garnered 10,881,150 views on YouTube.
