DJ Earworm Releases His United State of Pop 2010: Don’t Stop The Pop
This time of year is the best for partying and celebrating but as far as blogging, not so much. However, there is one thing to look forward to during this time. This would be the incredible United State of Pop mash-up by DJ Earworm, this year entitled as “Don’t Stop the Pop.” The mash-up blends the top 25 hits of the Billboard Hot 100.
This year’s mash-up includes Ke$ha‘s “Tik Tok,” Bruno Mars‘ “Just the Way You Are,” Travie McCoy‘s “Billionaire” featuring Bruno Mars, B.o.B‘s “Nothin’ On You” featuring Bruno Mars and “Airplanes” featuring Hayley Williams, Lady GaGa‘s “Bad Romance” and Telephone featuring Beyoncé, Rihanna‘s “Rude Boy,” Eminem‘s “Not Afraid” and “Love the Way You Lie” featuring “Rihanna,” Taio Cruz‘s “Break Your Heart” featuring Ludacris and “Dynamite,” Enrique Iglesias‘ “I Like It” featuring Pitbull, Katy Perry‘s “California Gurls” featuring Snoop Dogg and “Teenage Dream,” Mike Posner‘s “Cooler Than Me,” Black Eyed Peas‘ “Rock That Body” and “Imma Be,” Young Money‘s “Bedrock,” Iyaz‘s “Replay,” Lady Antebellum‘s “Need You Now,” Usher “OMG” featuring Will.i.am and “DJ Got Us Falling In Love” featuring Pitbull, Train “Hey, Soul Sister” and Jay-Z “Empire State of Mind” featuring Alicia Keys.
After two listens it’s obvious that the made-for-radio hits of 2010 focused on melodies. This isn’t Earworm’s best to date; the songs of 2010 allowed for pretty beats but they all don’t perfectly blend together. Despite that, Earworm’s 2010 effort has us reliving all the fun energy of 2010 in a little over 5 minutes.
In other news, those of you who are aged 13-17 and will be spending you New Year’s here, in The Bahamas, can check out DJ Earworm at Club Rush, at the Atlantis Resort, listen below.

Ciara & Usher “Turn It Up”
Ciara never made it on the final version of Usher’s “Hot Tottie” but no worries because Usher assists on this new Ciara leak. The song, entitled “Turn It Up,” is just a leak and has not been confirmed to appear on CiCi’s Basic Instinct.
Ciara is following the pack by going the Dance route for this uptempo track. It is definitely something different from all the urban that she’s been promising her fans for this forthcoming album. No complaints though because the song does not come off as desperate but comes off as a fun rush of energy.

Usher Reveals ‘Versus’ Album Cover
Usher is giving the Lady GaGa The Fame Monster treatment to his chart topping album, Raymond vs. Raymond. The album cover just recently leaked… [SOURCE 1] [SOURCE 2]
Lots of pink and purple and bold text which looks very Miami nightlife. From the sounds of the leaked ““DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love” featuring Pitbull and “Get in My Car” featuring Bun B, the album will be all sorts of uptempo fun. Another track to look forward to is “Hot Toddy” featuring Ciara and Jay-Z. Look out for Versus on August 24.

Usher To Release 8 New Songs On ‘Versus’ + Listen to Brand New Single With Pitbull
This era of Usher, Raymond vs. Raymond, got off to a rocky start with the simultaneous leaks and overall spoilage of the material from the album. Then the album was released and debuted at #1 with very respectable numbers. After a few single releases, Usher and his team struck Gold, or is it Platinum with his “OMG” single featuring Will.i.am. The single shot to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and saw Usher at a height that was closest to his Confessions era.
This mainstream success must be making the folks over at Jive very happy, obviously, because a brand new single is here which is set to appear on the August 24 release of the Deluxe Edition and additional album entitled Versus:
Usher just announced he will release Versus, an extension and sequel to Raymond V. Raymond, on August 24th! Versus includes 8 brand new tracks including the lead single ‘DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love’ featuring Pitbull! Also dropping on August 24th is ‘Raymond V. Raymond (The Deluxe Edition)’ which will combine all 22 songs from ‘Raymond V. Raymond’ and ‘Versus’. Keep it locked on UsherWorld.com tomorrow, July 9th for the worldwide premiere of the new single “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love” featuring Pitbull! [SOURCE]
So a new album of 8 songs and a Deluxe Edition that will combine the 14 songs of the original and 8 of the new album; someone is feeling extra confident in Usher right now. This success actually shocked the mess out of us. I mean the promotion for the album was on point but all those leaks and pushbacks had us to believe it was going to be another storm for Usher. Congratulations to Usher anyhow, it’s nice to see him and #1 friends again.
As for this new single, “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love Again” featuring Pitbull and produced by Max Martin, the formula of “OMG” is being repeated. Eventhough “OMG” is so generic and done before, the song is catchy nonetheless and plus it’s summer and all people want to hear on the radio are carefree uptempo tunes.

Usher Loves ‘Em All
Usher has had a pretty successful round with Raymond vs. Raymond which means he will be back with another album and who knows, it may finally be the album to top the Confessions era. With that, tracks are still leaking from him. This new one entitled “Love ‘Em All” is produced by Tricky Stewart.
This is a very catchy song with a nice melody and a shallow set of lyrics in which Usher speaks about spreading his love lust for every lady in the club. It doesn’t hold up to the rest of the album but still sounds good enough to get the listener hooked.

Master & Protégé Video Premieres: Usher “OMG” + Justin Bieber “Never Let You Go”
Today, March 30, Usher’s Raymond vs. Raymond hits music outlets and to accompany the release of the album is the release of the music video for the album’s first international single, “OMG,” feat. Will.I.Am. The clip was directed by Anthony Mandler.
From the get go with the black background and lasers the video reminds us of “Yeah.” Then there’s some split screen action with Will.I.Am and Usher doing their own little dance moves. The video further progresses into some studio sets, more cool lighting effects and some sexy choreography from the ladies donning all black. There’s even a 3D effect thrown in for fun.
Justin Bieber’s second single from My World 2.0, “Never Let You Go,” receives the video treatment. Like “Baby,” the video for “Never Let You Go” is set in a family friendly environment, an aquarium. If we didn’t know any better we’d think they shot the video over here, in The Bahamas. It’s a fun and appropriate video, check it out!

Video Premiere: Usher “Lil Freak” feat. Nicki Minaj
Usher stopped by BET’s 106 & Park to premiere the video for yet another single, “Lil Freak” feat Nicki Minaj. The TAJ directed clip is lifted from Usher’s sixth studio album, Raymond vs. Raymond.
The video is underground urban with Minaj flirting with some female. We like the video and the song. Check it out!
