Where Have You Been - Rihanna



tempo: 128 bpm

bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm

The DJ's Take: Song #7 in mix 50 (10:35):



So apparently Guinness tracks the world record for highest score on this song in the Just Dance video game. Probably looked something like this:



Would you watch? Maybe. Anyway, the aforementioned record was set in 2015, which means it's time for this guy to mount a challenge:



Anyway, going back to mix 50, that transition into the Black Eyed Peas Don't Stop The Party is butter. Club-level beat matching there, and strong mashup potential if you have some time to spare.

Quick note: I found it was a little softer volume-wise than the other dance music in the track list, so keep that in mind.

Imma Be - Black Eyed Peas

tempo: 92 bpm, switches to 123 bpm halfway through bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm , 120 to 125 bpm the DJ’s take:  A unique track that changes tempo halfway through - saves a dj the effort of having to come up with an energy-accelerating transition (similar deal with Just Can't Get Enough ). Decent throwback that should work during one of your quieter Top 40 nights. Some tracks worth mixing with: From 90 to 95 bpm (scroll down in the box below): Creep - TLC I Feel It Coming - The Weeknd, Daft Punk Water Under The Bridge - Adele ...Baby One More Time - Britney Spears Capsize - FRENSHIP & Emily Warren Mellow Drama - Sterling Mercury Why You Always Hatin? - YG ft.

On The Floor - Jennifer Lopez ft. Pitbull

tempo: 130 bpm bpm range:   125  to  130 bpm ,  130  to  135 bpm The DJ's Take:  J. Lo and Pitbull - a partnership that brought us one of the great in-concert images of the 2010s : Hey; he's only human. As for the track, a loud, thumping mega-hit when it came out. Still has value as a throwback on a dance-oriented, unpretentious Top 40 night. Try mixing / mashing up with: The Right Song - Tiesto & Oliver Heldens A Sky Full Of Stars - Coldplay You Make Me - Avicii Calabria - Enur When Love Takes Over - David Guetta, Kelly Rowland We Found Love - Calvin Harris ft.

SICKO MODE - Travis Scott ft. Drake

tempo: 69 bpm, 77-78 bpm bpm range: 65 bpm to 70 bpm , 75 bpm  to  80 bpm the dj's take: The leadoff song in our Entry 23 mix: This one is like the Neopolitan ice cream of music - three flavors in one. Makes sense for the younger listeners and their shorter attention spans. And as a producer / songwriter, you can take three half-finished attempts at a single, then mash them together to make a hit. Some key-compatible tracks to mix with Part I (up to ~0:59): Better Now - Post Malone Rap God - Eminem HYFR - Drake ft.
