Frequently asked
What music is good for a small shop?
The songs that measure as the best fit are “11:21” by Wet Leg, “Corcovado” by Antonio Carlos Jobim, “Count on Me” by Kidz Bop Kids. A gentle lift with no drops or shouting — energy that suits browsing without pushing anyone out the door. Every pick on this page passed the same measured filter: sudden changes: none / mild only; dynamic range 3–6/10; 90–120 BPM; highly predictable; no screaming.
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 a small shop. The qualifying numbers are printed under every song.
What did you rule out?
Anything outside the filter: sudden changes: none / mild only; no screaming. A song that is beautiful but has one sudden peak is still ruled out, because the peak is the problem.
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.
