The list
| # | Track | BPM | Genre | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Run the Jewels — Legend Has It | 108 | Hip-hop | Heavy bass, half-beat hi-hats. Charter places Prophet-style off-beat waves. |
| 2 | Daft Punk — Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger | 123 | Electronic | Iconic 4-on-the-floor. The canonical My Music test track. |
| 3 | Bring Me The Horizon — Mantra | 142 | Rock | Clean kick pattern with a metal-style breakdown for AOE waves. |
| 4 | CHVRCHES — The Mother We Share | 128 | Synthpop | Arora-tier vibe. Maps cleanly to Hologram patterns. |
| 5 | Polyphia — Playing God | 170 | Math-rock | Note-dense, shred-feel. Great Dex-style fight feel. |
| 6 | Disclosure — You & Me (Flume Remix) | 130 | Future bass | Drop is dramatic enough to trigger a wave-spawn moment. |
| 7 | The Prodigy — Breathe | 134 | Big beat | Punk-energy Hemlock substitute. |
| 8 | Justice — Genesis | 124 | Electronic | Slow build then aggressive synth attack — charter loves it. |
| 9 | Architects — Animals | 130 | Metalcore | Blast-beat sections push the charter to its Blood-tier limit. |
| 10 | Tame Impala — The Less I Know the Better | 117 | Indie | Comfortable mid-tempo for warm-up sets. |
| 11 | M83 — Midnight City | 105 | Synthwave | Easy chart with iconic drop. Great My Music intro song. |
| 12 | Death Grips — Get Got | 84 | Experimental | Slow but dense. Tests the charter on aggressive non-kick percussion. |
| 13 | The Weeknd — Blinding Lights | 171 | Synthwave-pop | Halve-time the BPM in the cfg for a Strings-tier fight. |
| 14 | Anamanaguchi — Endless Fantasy | 140 | Chiptune | High-energy and the chiptune percussion auto-charts beautifully. |
| 15 | Carpenter Brut — Turbo Killer | 134 | Synthwave | A neon-noir match for the game’s aesthetic. |
| 16 | Wargasm — D.R.I.L.D.O. | 152 | Punk-electronic | Hemlock-coded chaos with clean charting. |
| 17 | Aphex Twin — Windowlicker | 124 | IDM | For mastery players — the syncopation breaks autopilot. |
| 18 | Sleep Token — The Summoning | 152 | Prog-metal | Tempo changes make for a multi-phase My Music level. |
| 19 | Doja Cat — Paint the Town Red | 100 | Pop | Comfortable mid-pop default for casual My Music sessions. |
| 20 | Bring Me The Horizon — Lost | 162 | Alt-metal | Speed-metal feel without the charter breaking. |
How we picked
- Clean kick — the auto-charter follows kicks first. Songs with strong, regular kicks score highest.
- Chart density — we prefer songs that produce 80–140 enemy events per minute. Too few = boring, too many = unplayable.
- Variety — mixed genres and BPM ranges from 84 to 170 so any session has something fresh.
FAQ
What is the best song to test Dead as Disco My Music?
Daft Punk — Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. Its 4-on-the-floor kick at 123 BPM produces the cleanest auto-chart and is a universal benchmark.
Why does My Music chart my song slower than the real BPM?
The charter halves BPMs above 180 by default. Either pick faster songs intentionally, or set force_bpm in MyMusic.cfg per the My Music guide.
