We are more than a bit late jumping on this one.

The now yearly tradition of DJ Earworm’s United State of Pop released early this 2011 as planned. What it does is mashup the previous year’s top 25 songs according to Billboard magazine.

In 2010, pop has gone into serious all-out party mode. In 2009 the music was encouraging us to pick ourselves back up after being knocked down again, and to rock out to some great dance music while you’re at it. This year’s music tells us to keep going now that we’re up and having fun. In fact, the fun seems to be in such overdrive that it borders on recklessness.

We’ve noticed the same patterns Earworm mentions. In fact, we’ve wondered what would happen if we tracked back to the year 2000 with the United State of Pop news in mind.

Get on that Internet.

Until then enjoy 2010, 2009, and 2008 in a state of pop.
