The Year in Music, According to Pop Danthology 2014

66 of the year's biggest songs mashed up into one convenient jam.



It's baaaaaaack! Vancouver-based DJ/alchemist Daniel Kim has unleashed his latest year-end music video mashup megamix, and it's pretty spectacular. Approximately 180 hours in the making, it's a crazy epic celebration of the year in pop music, comprised of no less than 66 cuts from 2014's biggest hits. There were a lot of crappy songs on the radio this year, but when you grind 'em up and rub 'em together like this, it's actually quite bearable.

Behold, Pop Danthology 2014:




66 of the year's biggest songs mashed up into one convenient jam. And once again, an annual reminder of my un-cool-ness, and how little I've been able to follow pop music. Here's the video again, with a breakdown of lyrics and song titles:
