Some notable turnover this month, including a brand new #1: BMC Top 5 Singles for June 2011: 1. Don't Wanna Go Home - Jason Derulo 2. ET - Katy Perry ft. Kanye West 3. Just Can't Get Enough - Black Eyed Peas 4. She Ain't You - Chris Brown 5. Look At Me Now - Chris Brown Top 5 BPMs for June 2011: 1. 125 bpm 2. 100 bpm 3. 130 bpm 4. 120 bpm 5. 85 bpm I cannot believe you guys (and girls) are so into that Jason Derulo track . Did you just read my review and decide to visit the page a lot to spite me? That's the only explanation I can come up with. Or maybe it's the whole Friday phenomenon (i.e. so bad you can't turn away). Seriously though, it's good to see and hear that you're enjoying the blog and making good use of it. Any questions or ideas about music and dj'ing in general, send me an e-mail . Got your own ideas about what should be in the Top 5? Leave a comment. (Photo via Morguefile ...

Speed: 130 bpm The DJ's Take: As a red-blooded American male, I have to say Britney is not looking so great these days. And this track is kind of a yawner, although it might make decent filler if you've got a couple minutes to kill in your set. Worth a buy if it gets popular, but not so much if it doesn't. Turn on key adjust and try mixing with Let Me Love You , Part Of Me , California Gurls and Rock Your Body . Download the MP3:

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 )
