yupppp, it’s this time of the year
but this year’s Earworm magic is a bit different
as he says: – It doesn’t match Billboard’s U.S. year-end list, since I’m basing it off of the weekly lists this year in order to more reflect what was actually popular during 2011. Because of the Billboard’s early cut off date and their emphasis on chart longevity, songs that are released after August are either split between the two years or moved to the next year. I also don’t want a track appearing two years in a row just because it happened to be peaking right at the cutoff. From my perspective, a song for a year-end mix belongs in the year it will be remembered from, not the year it ended its run. For instance, “We Found Love”, which has been #1 for the last 8 weeks of the year, is nowhere to be seen in Billboard’s Top 25, and may not make it next year either due to the bias of the cut-off date. As a bonus I am able to spend more time on the mixes and more fully realize them. -
