- Here’s a video with an amazingly seamless medley of pop songs from 2011. If you know the songs, the combination is even more impressive. If you don’t, consider this a short primer on pop music.

They did a good job. I wonder if everything is so seamless because most pop music is regurgitation of the same stuff. A stewing pot of monotony!
That would be my guess as well. They seem to come up with a new formula every year or so, and then every song that year uses the same formula. It must make mashups like this a lot easier.
My guess is one could do the same thing with a lot of praise and worship songs, too. That gives me an idea… [grabbing my guitar]
