(^I dont know how to get the video to show on my blog)



 This video is a mash up of 50 different songs from 2013. One would normally think that this would be under huge scrutiny from the copy rights and legality of such a thing, and then putting it on youtube for millions to watch and enjoy. But artists that have been placed into this mashup, dont take much offense to this song because of its popularity, in fact they are enthusiastic about it. The video plays little snippets of some of the more popular songs from 2013, but the main attraction for the artists represented in this video is the advertisement that it gave for such artists. It allowed them to get the few remaining people who had not heard their song yet, to get a little segment of their work, and then figure out who that artist is. In my own personal experience, i never heard a majority of the songs in this video, because i'm usually pretty stingy about new music that comes out, but when i listened to the mash up, it gave me little segments of the 50 songs represented in the mash up and caused me to download a couple that i liked from the mash up. Me falling victim to the advertisement scheme that the song had intended.
