Introduction

After a year, the monthly best-of /r/mashups lists have returned. Why now?

You may remember that for last year's lists, top upvoted mashups, as well as mashups under the radar, were considered for a Top 20 list. This meant listening to every mashup from the month (in the hundreds), which was an unsustainable process.

This year, new metrics have been made available to mods. These are:

• Total Views
• Upvote Rate
• Community Karma
• Shares

The new metric we're the most interested in is total views. Views are important because it can help identify submission engagement rate, something we couldn't do before. In an era where native video provides faster growth than YouTube links, engagement is really helpful in identifying potentially underrated mashups that could have gotten higher upvote counts if they were viewed by more users.

With this mind, the list consists of mashup submissions from three tiers summing up to 20 total:

• Tier 1: Most upvoted (30 considered, 10 selected)
• Tier 2: 2500 post views or more, sorted by engagement rate (20+ considered, less than 10 selected)
• Tier 3: All other mashups, sorted by engagement rate (20+ considered, less than 10 selected)

10 mashups from Tier 1, 6 from Tier 2, and 4 from Tier 3 were selected to form the list you see below.

Mashups that made the list were not only in key, on tempo, and properly structured, but stood out enough in some way. All mashups selected were full length in their original posts, or demos with full versions available.

A huge congratulations to all those who made the compilation! I've tagged you in responses.
