Why these songs and not a playlist?
Because they were chosen by measurement, not by title. Each song in our catalog carries measured dimensions — dynamic range, sudden changes, tempo, texture, vocal style, predictability — and this page keeps only the songs whose numbers fit exactly 120 BPM. The qualifying numbers are printed under every song.
Ratings are model-assisted, derived from each song's documented musical properties and reviewed by hand; we do not analyse audio waveforms. How we measure.
