This week the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart is controlled by DJ Earworm, Who Is Fancy and DNCE, who round out the top three spots.
In at number one is DJ Earworm and his celebratory mashup series United State of Pop. This years mashup is called "50 Shades of Pop," and features a huge list of popular songs that have been and continue to be a part of the constant mainstream radio rotation. The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Maroon 5, Adele, Ariana Grande, Major Lazer, Demi Lovato, Nicki Minaj, Jason DeRulo, Wiz Khalifa, Omi, Ellie Goulding, Drake and plenty of other artists all had their songs chopped up and transformed into a pretty awesome mix.
Their songs come together in grand form thanks to DJ Earworm's skills and the mashup should be a hit at your New Years Eve party. You can find a full list of all of the tracks used to create the song in the description of the video on DJ Earworm's YouTube Channel.
Check out the mashup below.

The second spot on the Emerging Artists Chart belongs to Who Is Fancy and his new hit song "Boys Like You" featuring Meghan Trainor and Ariana Grande. The collaboration is a fresh and undeniable hit from singer/songwriter Who Is Fancy. He pulls a little help from two of pops biggest names right now in Trainor and Grande, however, his vocals are right up there with some of the best.
"Boys Like you" has peaked at number one but fell one spot after DJ Earworm released his pop mashup.
It's safe to say that had "Boys Like You" been released a bit earlier, it may have made the cut for the "50 Shades of Pop" track. You can check out the animated music video for "Boys Like You" below.
Rounding out the top three on Billboard's Emerging Artists Chart is DNCE and their late summer hit "Cake By The Ocean." DNCE has made a huge splash towards the end of the year. Their EP SWAAY also contains a couple more hits that proves the band, fronted by Joe Jonas is here to stay.
DNCE's mix of catchy dance sounds and quirky lyrics is a crowd pleaser and as a result of their popularity "Cake By The Ocean" has previously peaked at number one on the Emerging Artists Charts.
