# Mind-Blowing Yearly Mashups The Pop Medley 2011 Mashup by Sam Tsui and Kurt Schneider is Amazing By Souzan Michael | Published 2011-11-09 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-medley-2011-mashup-by-sam-tsui-and-kurt-schneider References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/jpmoore/amazing-mash-up-of-2011s-pop-hits) & [youtu.be](http://youtu.be/XZCOtpWa7Cc) I must admit that I am a sucker for pop mash-ups and am somewhat obsessed with every one I've ever heard, but this Pop Medley 2011 Mashup by Sam Tsui and Kurt Schneider is definitely one that stands out from the crowd. Rather than a DJ composing a mash-up of all of the year's hits, Tsui and Schneider actually put this together themselves, with Tsui providing [original vocals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-you-more). The Pop Medley 2011 Mashup by Sam Tsui and Kurt Schneider features the guys' favorite songs of the year: 'The Edge of Glory' by Lady Gaga, 'Last Friday Night (TGIF)' by Katy Perry, 'Superbass' by Nicki Minaj, 'Party Rock Anthem' by LMFAO, and 'Give Me Everything' by Pitbull and Ne-Yo. Now, I'm the first to admit that I don't love any of those songs, but this mash-up is truly creative and well put together, and Tsui's vocals are incredible. Don't miss this great mash-up! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pop Mash-ups:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create personalized mash-up experiences for music lovers, allowing them to combine their favorite songs in creative ways. - **Original Mash-up Compositions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop platforms or tools that enable artists to compose their own mash-ups and share them with a wider audience. - **Vocally-talented Artists:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build platforms that showcase and promote independent artists with exceptional vocal talent, giving them a chance to gain recognition and reach a wider audience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Music Streaming:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate mash-up creation tools into existing music streaming platforms, offering users more personalized and customizable listening experiences. - **Artistic Collaboration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop platforms that facilitate virtual artistic collaborations, allowing musicians and vocalists to work together remotely on mash-up compositions. - **Independent Music Promotion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create online platforms or communities that specifically target and support independent artists, helping them gain exposure and opportunities to collaborate on mash-up projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Streaming Music Recap Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-recap.md) - [Music-Inspired Retail Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summers-greatest-hits.md) - [Streaming Moments Surge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spotifys-wrapped-2025.md) - [Remixed Music Soda Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-max-christmas-refreshed.md) - [AI-Powered Karaoke Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mayk.md) - [Personalized Video Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-cards.md) - [Poster-Inspired Music Playlists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lineupsupply.md) - [Pizza-Themed Music Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucha-little.md) - [Motion-Powered Songs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motionpowered-song.md)
