Firework - Katy Perry 5. Just A Dream - Nelly Got your own ideas about what should be in the Top 5? Leave a comment. (Photo via Morguefile )

tempo: 94 bpm bpm range: 90 to 95 bpm the DJ’s take: Listening to this feels like getting struck in the head by a blunt instrument. Cymbal crashes feel like the finishing blow. Probably not the best selection for a casual pop night, but if you're doing an eclectic hiphop set, could be worth a spin considering the big name rappers. Just make sure you don't start a riot. If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with: ELEMENT. - Kendrick Lamar Blame It - Jamie Foxx Can't Deny It - Fabolous ft. Nate Dogg Hypnotize - Notorious BIG Olé - John Newman Heathens - twenty one pilots Youth - Troye Sivan 0 To 100 - Drake Bailando - Enrique Iglesias Partition - Beyoncé Killing Me Softly - Fugees Company - Justin Bieber Misery - Gwen Stefani Animals - Maroon 5 download or stream Monster: amazon spotify playlist itunes

tempo: 120 bpm bpm range: 115  to  120 bpm ,  120  to  125 bpm the DJ’s take: That synth gets under your skin and into the sinews like a warm current of electricity. Probably best enjoyed after several cocktails and some other mind-altering substances. A former #1 song in the country , and Kesha should get a good reaction from the young female demographic, so why not drop it in on a Top 40 night. If you're working between 115 and 120 bpm, try mixing with: Anywhere - Dillon Francis Treasure - Bruno Mars And from 120 to 125 bpm: In The Dark - DEV Break Your Heart - Taio Cruz Swish Swish - Katy Perry Hard Times - Paramore Symphony - Clean Bandit, Zara Larsson This Girl - Kungs, Cookin' On 3 Burners Break The Rules - Charli XCX i - Kendrick Lamar Am I Wrong - Nico & Vinz International Love - Pitbull ft. Chris Brown I Need Your Love - Calvin Harris Need U (100%) - Duke Dumont ft. A*M*E Ocean Drive (Hayden James Remix) - Duke Dumont ...

tempo: 124 bpm bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm The DJ’s Take: Why do I have a premonition that this will either be the soundtrack for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin Eve, or the WNBA Finals? I don’t watch either, so I guess I’ll never know, but maybe I should go put down a bet in Vegas while the vision is still fresh. Honestly, I don’t know if this will do as well as her other recent singles, although the song title and inspirational violins will give this a shelf life beyond the charts. I will say this - it’s no less worthy of making it into the top 10 than anything else she’s done. Try mixing with the following to stay key-compatible: I Love It - Icona Pop , Cannonball - Showtek & Justin Prime , Animals - Martin Garrix , Under Control - Calvin Harris & Alesso , Stay The Night - Zedd , Clarity - Zedd , This Is What It Feels Like - Armin Van Buuren , Turn Up The Music - Chris Brown , Wild Ones - Flo Rida ft. Sia , Beautiful People - Chris Brown , Party Rock Anthem - LMF...

Club Can’t Handle Me - Flo Rida and David Guetta 4. Airplanes - B.o.B ft. Hayley Williams 5.

tempo: 112 bpm bpm range: 110  to  115 bpm The DJ’s Take: Can you imagine how many times Latin dance instructors have blasted this during their classes? Infectious beat that should get couples moving just like the hypothetical Hispanics below: If you're staying key-compatible, try mixing with: LOYALTY. (FEAT. RIHANNA.) - Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna Secrets - The Weeknd CAN'T STOP THE FEELING! - Justin Timberlake In The Night - The Weeknd I Love You - Axwell /\ Ingrosso Adventure of a Lifetime - Coldplay Rockin' - The Weeknd download or stream Loca: amazon spotify playlist itunes

tempo: 127 bpm bpm range: 125 to 130 bpm The DJ’s Take: I feel metro-sexual just listening to this. Seriously. I actually heard this instrumental in the background of some radio commercial for an import beer before I knew it was an international dance hit , which was kind of strange. Nice little beat, and like We No Speak Americano , it’s worth a spin at your next big fat Greek wedding . download or stream Stereo Love: amazon spotify playlist
