For an artist who has not monetized any of his 200 million plus YouTube views, DJ Earworm is in a really good mood.

The producer, DJ, video artist and cult favorite (born Jordan Roseman) recently unleashed the latest in his annual mashup franchise, “United State of Pop,” a new track born from the DNA of the top 50 songs of 2015. He subtitled it with an overture symbolic of this year, “50 Shades of Pop.”
