Considering what he had to work with, this came out pretty decent.  DJ Earworm’s annual mashup of the year that includes the Billboards Top 25 is still dance-driven and a tasty pop treat, but it lacks a couple artists we fell in love with this past year- Robyn, Natalia Kills, and most importantly, Pink.  If anything, this shows that the radio was flooded with dance-driven music this past year, the first to happen in a long time (I’d say since the 80’s even?).  The downside, it reveals that a lot of these songs were cookie cutter renditions of one another.  Will 2011 bring us more party music?

What about bob bumps Rihanna

Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” has been bumped by some unknown rapper/R&B/smoothvocalslikeneyo butstraighterthanhim named “B.o.B.”  There is SO much I could say here… your name is an acronym and one is lowercased… WTF would have been a much better acronym for you BoB.  How dare you rudely bump Rihanna to #2 on the charts?  All kidding aside, B.o.B. is aka Bobby Ray aka Brandy’s little brother aka onlyknownbecauseoflameassVH1show….  Rihanna, take it back girl, you deserve #1.  Take a listen to this shiteous song here if you dare.  Honestly, not a #1…
