Beat Match City

Speed: 77 bpm The DJ's Take: Obviously not a new song, but I was listening the other day and realized you can mix it with a whole bunch of other songs (see below). Definite head-nodder. Although I don't get rappers referring to their rhymes as 'diarrhea'; that would be way down the list of metaphors I would use. DJs - turn on key adjust and mix with: 70-75 bpm: Obsesion - Frankie J ft. Baby Bash , Give Me A Try - Sizzla , Bottoms Up - Trey Songz , BedRock - Young Money , Got Your Back - T.I. ft. Keri Hilson , All The Above - Maino , Boyfriend #2 - Pleasure P , Crank That - Soulja Boy , Say My Name 75-80 bpm: Man Down - Rihanna , This Is Why I'm Hot - MIMS , Turnin Me On - Keri Hilson , You Make Me Wanna - Usher , Rockin That Thang - The Dream , Power - Kanye West download or stream Tonight: amazon

Speed: 71 bpm The DJ's Take: Kelly Rowland's quietly crafted a solid career after Destiny's Child, and this single is another positive building block. At first, it was sort of different not hearing her on a faster dance track , but she doesn't sound out of place here. I like this in a chill, lounge type environment, or at the end of the night when things are winding down. DJ's - turn on key adjust and mix with: Young Forever - Jay-Z Download the MP3:

Same #1-4, new #5: BMC Top 5 Singles for May 2011: 1. E.T. - Katy Perry ft. Kanye West 2. Black and Yellow - Wiz Khalifa 3. Just Can't Get Enough - Black Eyed Peas 4. Look At Me Now - Chris Brown 5. Give Me Everything - Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo Top 5 BPMs for May 2011: 1. 90 bpm 2. 125 bpm 3. 130 bpm 4. 100 bpm 5. 120 bpm As you can see, not a ton of changes on our charts for this month. Not much movement on the Billboard Hot 100 either. Looks like the American public knows what it likes, at least until further notice. Got your own ideas about what should be in the Top 5?

Speed: 80 bpm, 158 bpm The DJ's Take: I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this is far from the best love song any girl has ever heard in her life. It would make a fine soundtrack for a fast-dancing flash mob though. On a side note, is there any name as misleading as "flash mob"? Makes me think they're about to go do some violence. Then they go do something like this . Come on, man. Download the MP3:

New #1 this month: BMC Top 5 Singles for April 2011: 1. E.T. - Katy Perry ft. Kanye West 2. Black and Yellow - Wiz Khalifa 3. Just Can't Get Enough - Black Eyed Peas 4. Look At Me Now - Chris Brown 5. Firework - Katy Perry Top 5 BPMs for April 2011: 1. 90 bpm 2. 130 bpm 3. 100 bpm 4. 125 bpm 5. 120 bpm Looks like music fans are easing off the pop EDM a little bit, and that's a good thing. Not a big surprise that E.T. is at the top of the list, considering it's been at the top of the Billboard charts for the past several weeks. My guess is that it stays there through the rest of the spring. Got your own ideas about what should be in the Top 5? Leave a comment. (Photo via Morguefile )

tempo: 131 bpm bpm range: 130 to 135 bpm The DJ's Take : Apparently this song's getting a lot of buzz, but it sounds like your average Lady Gaga track to me - loud, heavy, and unapologetic. I do like it better than Born This Way . In any case, while it's still hot, add this to the greatest in-key mix ever made (on Beat Match City): Turn on key adjust and mix with: Give Me Everything - Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo & Afrojack , Till The World Ends - Britney Spears , Tonight (I'm Lovin You) - Enrique Iglesias , Just Can't Get Enough - Black Eyed Peas , Hold It Against Me - Britney Spears , Beautiful - Akon , Break Your Heart - Taio Cruz , Cooler Than Me - Mike Posner , The Way You Move - Outkast , Pump Up The Jam - Technotronic , Sweet Dreams - Eurythmics , Baby Got Back - Sir Mix-A-Lot Download the MP3:

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. Got your own ideas about what should be in the Top 5? Leave a comment. (Photo via Morguefile )
