Beat Match City

Speed: 128 bpm The DJ's Take: Couple comments on this video. First, is the font on those letters a ripoff of those new Transformers movies or what? Also, Chris Brown - nostril piercings are for attractive and/or edgy young ladies. Not you. As for the track itself, definitely worth a spin or two at least. I think it has the potential to be a club hit. Try turning on key adjust and mixing with Usher's OMG and More . Download the song:

A few days late, but some fresh results (and a new #1): BMC Top 5 Singles for June 2012: 1. Where Have You Been - Rihanna 2. Wild Ones - Flo Rida ft. Sia 3. Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO 4. Pumped Up Kicks - Foster The People 5. Sexy And I Know It - LMFAO Top 5 BPMs for June 2012: 1. 125 bpm 2. 130 bpm 3. 120 bpm 4. 100 bpm 5. 140 bpm Question - what the hell is your fascination with Pumped Up Kicks? It's a nice song and all, but isn't it old by now? Why don't you people just follow the herd and move on to Call Me Maybe or something? Actually, never mind - that's why this blog has some of the coolest readers on the web. You like what you like. In any case, I'll deliver a bonus post today to make up for my delinquency. Hope everyone's having a good summer. Got your own ideas about what should be in the Top 5? Leave a comment. (Photo via Morguefile )

Speed: 75 bpm Recommended bpm range: 70 bpm to 75 bpm , 75 bpm to 80 bpm The DJ's Take: If we ever trend back to slower tracks in the top 40, it will be because of singles like this. Nothing tacky or overdone here - just a steady, driving beat & solid vocals. Worth a download if you're looking for some new club-friendly hiphop and R&B.

Speed: 128 bpm The DJ's Take: Not quite as abominable as Glad You Came , but still pretty bad. Is it a club hit? Quite possibly. My guess is that it will get every possible opportunity to catch fire on the radio, and when it does, that's your cue to pick it up. Turn on key adjust and mix with: Scream - Usher , Glad You Came - The Wanted , Ass Back Home - Gym Class Heroes , You Make Me Feel - Cobra Starship Download the song: Amazon:

Speed: 80 bpm The DJ's Take: Apologies for not posting in awhile, and thanks to the readers who have been e-mailing their discontent. Good to know you care. Anyway, this track is already in the Billboard Top 10, but is it something you play in the club? Depends. Much slower tempo obviously means it doesn't go with the usual 130 bpm dance singles that are your bread and butter right now. But it could work at the end of the night, maybe in a bar-pub setting. Somehow this feels more like a nice soundtrack for a young adult TV drama on the CW or a big screen romance starring Channing Tatum (or someone of that ilk). Download the song: Amazon:

Speed: 120 bpm The DJ's Take: I've been trying to avoid reviewing this for awhile now, but it's getting to a point where I am doing you a disservice. So let me state the obvious - if you dj at a venue where Caucasian females are, this is an absolute must-play. And you know how it is when this demographic gets a song stuck on the brain - the shelf life is surprisingly long. Anyway, long story short, download this as soon as possible if you don't have it already. And when it stops being hot, delete any evidence you ever had it in the first place.

#1 stays the same, but there was some turnover from April lower down the list: BMC Top 5 Singles for May 2012: 1. Levels - Avicii 2. Wild Ones - Flo Rida ft. Sia 3. Climax - Usher 4. Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO 5. Where Have You Been - Rihanna Top 5 BPMs for May 2012: 1. 130 bpm 2. 125 bpm 3. 120 bpm 4. 100 bpm 5. 135 bpm Couple notes to mention. First, we did have a distinct #1 and #2 in terms of singles, but it was a photo finish. And based on my own observations at local bars (haven't been to a club in awhile), pop EDM is still king by a wide margin. What else is new. Got your own ideas about what should be in the Top 5?
