Top 10 110-120 BPM Songs
I once did a list of 120-130 bpm (beats per minute) songs (which are 30-32.5 measures/bars/notes per minute), but here’s a list of songs ranging from 110 to 120 bpm (27.5-30 measures/bars/notes per minute) in tempo. This list involves songs in the moderato ranges as well as allegro moderato & allegro.
Ke$ha’s most popular song & a perfect reference to time. Speaking of which this song played at a perfect tempo of 120 bpm (30 measures/bars/notes per minute) which is the standard for a song. Yet this song got turned into an app by late 2016.
Call Me Maybe’s Carly Rae Jepsen’s most popular & only #1 song ever. It blew up on many charts including the billboard hot 100 & has a catchy beat & melody yet played at 120 bpm (30 measures/bars/notes per minute) which is a standard for many songs.

Another oldie by Madonna & it also played at 120 bpm (30 measures/bars/notes per minute). A classic.
