Written In The Stars - Tinie Tempah ft. Eric Turner

Speed: 91 bpm

The DJ's Take: Like Rocketeer, we've got another case of Ebony & Ivory hipPop: black dude rapping, impassioned white dude singing the hook. Song isn't bad, but it feels a little manufactured. Anyway, try turning on key adjust and mixing with No Games and One More Chance in your next mixtape.

The BMC Top 5 for March 2011

No major surprises this past month:


BMC Top 5 Singles for March 2011:

1. Black and Yellow - Wiz Khalifa

2. Firework - Katy Perry

3. No Hands - Waka Flocka

4. Just Can't Get Enough - Black Eyed Peas

5. Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars


Top 5 BPMs for March 2011:

1. 90 bpm

2. 125 bpm

3. 130 bpm

4. 120 bpm

5. 100 bpm

Once again, Black and Yellow's our dominant single. What's interesting is that 90 bpm was the top beats per minute for the month. Maybe it's the fact that Just Can't Get Enough starts around that 90-95 bpm range. Or maybe people are looking for a little variety with all the dance tracks out there these days. In any case, I'm thinking maybe we'll see some more 70 to 75 bpm songs in there in the near future. Stay tuned.
