Daniel Kim's Pop Danthology (Best of 2013)

     The last 12 months have been a complete roller coaster for pop music, with its share of highs and lows from certain artists. There are a couple of weeks still left in the full year, maybe we can expect one last smash, already on the rise. Whether it was Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines", Katy Perry's "Roar" or Lorde's unstoppable "Royals" ruling the top of the charts, the year brought us on our feet once again with catchy production, sometimes questionable vocals and inescapable earworms.

      Last year, an incredible DJ brought us a mash up of Maroon 5, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, The Wanted and more. Now, the talented Daniel Kim is bringing together 68 of 2013's brightest tunes in one of his best creations. Featuring recent hits from Lady Gaga, Daft Punk, Selena Gomez, Pitbull, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Bruno Mars and everyone else in between, the new year-end mash up focuses on intriguing production ready to make you dance the night away. To hear someone fuse together "Love Somebody", "Clarity", "Work Bitch" and "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)" is pretty spectacular.

      Listen to the recently released masterpiece, play a game and see how many tracks you can identify or just sit back and enjoy the hard work of a talented individual. 2013 certainly brought the beats and dubstep breakdowns, let's hope 2014 is just as interesting and entertaining.
