Break The Rules - Charli XCX



Speed: 124 bpm

The DJ's Take: Feels a lot like a theme for a chic teen clothing line - don't be shocked if this pops up on TV for a back-to-school ad campaign next August. Until then, worth a spin as restless, loud, semi-danceable Euro pop-rock that younger females can rock out to. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with some or all of the following:

In the 120 bpm range: i - Kendrick Lamar, Am I Wrong - Nico & Vinz, International Love - Pitbull ft. Chris Brown

In the 125 to 130 bpm range: Blame - Calvin Harris, I Need Your Love - Calvin Harris, Thinking About You - Calvin Harris, Need U (100%) - Duke Dumont ft. A*M*E, Va Va Voom - Nicki Minaj, Titanium - David Guetta and Sia, Turn Me On - David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj, Where Have You Been - Rihanna, In The Dark - DEV, Don't Stop The Party - Black Eyed Peas, Take Over Control - Afrojack ft. Eva Simons, Shots - LMFAO, Where Them Girls At - David Guetta ft. Flo Rida & Nicki Minaj, Give Me Everything - Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo & Afrojack, Till The World Ends - Britney Spears, Tonight (I'm Lovin You) - Enrique Iglesias,  Hold It Against Me - Britney Spears, Beautiful - Akon, Break Your Heart - Taio Cruz, The Way You Move - Outkast, Pump Up The Jam - Technotronic, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) - Eurythmics, and Baby Got Back - Sir Mix-A-Lot (maybe even throw in Anaconda - Nicki Minaj)

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. Rihanna Oops - Martin Garrix The Right Song - Tiesto & Oliver Heldens A Sky Full Of Stars - Coldplay You Make Me - Avicii Give It 2 U - Robin Thicke Live For The Night - Krewella Don't Stop The Party - Pitbull Right Now - Rihanna and David Guetta S&M - Rihanna Low (feat.

DNA. - Kendrick Lamar

tempo: 70 bpm bpm range:   65 bpm  to  70 bpm ,  70 bpm  to  75 bpm the dj's take: Perfect song for an adDJ - ~100 seconds that will boom through the speakers and rile up the crowd before you move on to the next banger. If you spin hiphop, this one needs to be in the rotation for the foreseeable future. Keep in mind this morphs into a second song at around 1:50 with a bpm of 65 bpm. And in case you were wondering why actor Don Cheadle is in the video: Interesting tracks to mix with at 65 to 70 bpm (scroll down in the box below): goosebumps - Travis Scott Make Love - Gucci Mane ft. Nicki Minaj Big Pimpin - Jay-Z ft. UGK Deja Vu - Post Malone & Justin Bieber In The Name Of Love - Martin Garrix ft.
