It is the end of 2014 and as always, DJ Earworm has taken the top 25 songs of the year to make an awesome mashup. Since 2007, he has been taking 25 songs that have been popular throughout the year. This year has been very interesting according to Earworm, EDM has been on a decline. Normally, I disagree and you will too, but he makes a solid point by using the fact that there aren’t many top songs on the radio that are considered electronic dance music since 2009. Here is exactly what he said to Billboard:
The thing that has been most notable in the past two or three years is the decline of EDM. The ‘United State of Pop’ became this dance track from ’09 to ’12, and then starting last year, there just wasn’t enough in that genre to fully support it, so I went down-tempo. And this year, ‘Timber,’ which was popular in January, is the only popular dance track I’m dealing with. It’s definitely down-tempo, so you have to decide, how is this going to go? How am I going to maintain the energy levels while being true to the sound of the year?
