These two recording previews measured close to 120 BPM in our browser-based BPM Finder. Neither returned exactly 120. Each figure describes the analyzed preview, not a certified tempo for the full song. Open the linked recording to decide whether its feel suits your practice or playlist.

What these measurements can and cannot tell you
The original preview files were selected in our browser-local audio tool, which returned one dominant pulse for each excerpt. The source metadata identifies the recording and supplies the preview, but it does not say where the excerpt starts within the complete track. A different section, edition, remix, or a human tapping a different pulse level may give another reading.
The table therefore says “near 120” rather than quietly rounding both results to the headline number. In a separate local screening, the same method returned 117.2 BPM for the preview of Michael Jackson's “Billie Jean” from Michael Jackson's This Is It and 117.6 BPM for the preview of Nirvana's “Smells Like Teen Spirit” from Nevermind (Remastered). Those results were farther from this page's reference and are not included as near-120 picks. This distinction comes from our measured excerpts, not another site's playlist labels.
Use the list with a steady 120 BPM reference
Play a selected recording from its linked source, then start the online metronome at 120 BPM. A 120 BPM reference places one chosen beat every 0.5 seconds (60 seconds divided by 120 beats). Listen for a stable pulse rather than tapping every drum hit or sung syllable. If the reference and recording slowly drift apart, the actual passage is not locked to that exact pulse.
If your ears follow a pulse at half or double the displayed rate, try that count explicitly before rejecting the song. The file analyzer can favor a faster or slower rhythmic layer; it does not decide which beat level a musician intends. For a passage you choose yourself, play it and use our tempo tapper to compare your counted beat with the excerpt estimate.
How this shortlist was made
We analyzed locally stored copies of the publicly available Deezer preview excerpts through this site's own BPM Finder. The tool decoded them in the browser, and we transcribed the displayed raw results without adjusting or rounding them to 120. We screened other previews the same way and retained only the readings within one BPM of the target; this is a curation rule for this page, not an accuracy claim about the analyzer.
The measurements can be repeated by obtaining the same preview version from the linked track record and running the audio file through the local BPM tool. No protected audio or lyrics are hosted on this page. Because the provider does not specify the excerpt's location within the full track, we cannot give a verified verse or chorus timestamp.

Questions about 120 BPM songs
Are these songs exactly 120 BPM?
No. Our preview measurements are 119.7 and 119.0 BPM. This is a near-120 shortlist, with the difference shown beside each recording rather than hidden behind a rounded label.
Can a song show a different BPM in another tool?
Yes. The selected audio section, recording version, rhythmic layer, and beat-counting method can change the result. Compare the same recording and passage, then check whether one reading represents half or double the other's pulse.
Can I check a song that is missing here?
Yes. Use the BPM Finder for a local audio file or tap a passage with the BPM Counter. A measured passage is more useful than guessing from a song title or a playlist category.
Recording and measurement sources
Recording identity and preview availability: Deezer track record for “Stand By Me” and Deezer track record for “Poker Face”. BPM values and the exclusions above are our September 30, 2026 browser-local readings, documented in the site's measurement log. Deezer does not supply the BPM values used on this page.
