Download of the Day (1/19): DJ Earworm's "United State of Pop 2009"

Ever wanted to hear Black Eyed Peas, Taylor Swift, T.I., Beyonce, Kings of Leon, and Lady Gaga mashed together?

Look no where else but DJ Earworm. The San Francisco mashup artist, as he does every year, took 25 of the most successful songs in the country, break them down, and make them into one song. The results are quite extraordinary. This year's mix is so flawless and seamless that you almost forget that there are twenty five songs being used. "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas, as the year's most blatantly successful song of the year, served as the backbone for the mashup. While some of the references are kind of obvious, there are some subtle mixes that gel really well, such as the use of Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone".

While the song is the prefect test for those people with musically inclined ears, it is also a great song in its own right. 2010 may have just started, but I almost cannot wait for it to be over so we can hear a new one.

Rating: 9 out of 10
