Happy 2009!!!

Have a fun and safe New Year's Eve, folks! It's been a wonderfully wacky weird year here on JMG, hasn't it? I posted 3000+ times, you commented 150,000+ times, traffic more than doubled, and the number of banned trolls became uncountable. Good times. Seriously. My humblest thanks go out to to all of you for being part of the JMG community. I can't wait to see what 2009 will bring.

United State Of Pop 2008

The insanely talented DJ Earworm has created this year's Billboard Top 25 pop singles mashup: United State Of Pop 2008 (Viva La Pop). Amazing.

In case you missed it, here's his take on 2007.

Billboard's 2008 Year-End Charts

Billboard Magazine has compiled its year-end charts for 2008. With three singles in the year-end top ten, Chris Brown is the Top Artist for 2008. This year I'm at least vaguely familiar with everything in the pop singles top ten, but only know the Kristine W, Janet Jackson and (remixed by Rich Morel) Yoko Ono tracks on the dance top ten. Dance track of the year, Together? Can't say I ever heard it until I looked it up for this post.
