2015 has been an interesting year in the music industry, a plethora of artists and songs rising to popularity, rehashing their popularity (I’m looking at you Adele) and continuing their popularity throughout the calendar year. From Taylor Swift to Wiz Khalifa to The Weeknd to Drake, many memorable songs filled playlists and were played on radio stations across the country. In this great video by Us The Duo, a duo consisting of Michael and Carissa Alvarado, we are taken on a trip through the past year’s pop music in a piano/vocal mashup. The couple rose in popularity on the platform Vine by uploading 6-second covers, original songs, and more to their account. They now have 4 million followers, 800 million loops (times their Vines have been played), and have become a success off the platform by releasing their own original full-length songs and creating a YouTube channel as well.

Singing and playing each song in seamless succession, Michael and Carissa cover a wide range of musical genres, including hip-hop, pop, funk, rock, and ballads. As with other great covers, Us The Duo’s renditions of popular songs in the video often sound perhaps even better than the originals. Altogether, the video was a nostalgic, stunning, and entertaining trip the-the music of 2015.
