In many ways, 2020 felt like a big blur of breaking news notifications and bittersweet Zoom calls. While music was certainly vital in helping us cope, it was easy to lose track of mainstream hits without hearing them in their proper context: delirious bar sing-alongs, sweaty concerts and backyard summer barbecues with family and friends. In this exclusive, colourful mix, Zedd recaps 2020’s most memorable moments in one whirlwind hour. There’s Machine Gun Kelly and blackbear’s pop-punk renaissance (“my ex’s best friend”), Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s Pride-inspired glitter bomb (“Rain on Me”), Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s sizzling manifesto (“WAP”) and of course, the late, great, inimitable Pop Smoke wearing his heart on his sleeve (“What You Know Bout Love”). It’s a thrill to revisit the songs and voices that may have slipped us by. And with Zedd at the wheel—immaculately curating, editing and mixing—even the most trying year sounds action-packed, vibrant and fun.
