Every year since 2007, DJ Cummerbund gives us an artful mashup of the most popular pop songs of the previous year. For the year 2024, there's a distinct theme among the 25 biggest hits, and it's more than just a steady dance beat (with a bit of a country twang this time). These songs, or at least the lyrical clips used, all appear to reference regret, blame, and most of all, alcohol. Was it the current zeitgeist that inspired songwriters to go in that direction, or was it the mood of the nation that propelled these kinds of songs to the top? Or was it DJ Earworm's selective editing that brought out that theme? You can hear all the United States of Pop videos from 2007 to 2024 in this playlist.

Could've been the whiskey
It might have been the gin
Could have been the three or four six packs, I don't know
But look at the mess I'm in
Irish Rovers 1970s
I read the latest wave of young adults, generation whatever(I can't keep the whippersnappers straight) are drinking much less alcohol, saying it's unhealthy and causes bad behavior. Probably guzzling Red Bull behind the barn.
