120 BPM Songs Grouped by Key for Mashups

How this list was checked

Every tempo and key below comes from published sheet music for the song, as cited in the song’s Wikipedia article (mostly Musicnotes editions, plus Universal Music Publishing Group for “Seven Nation Army” and Kobalt for “Sugar”). We checked each one on October 6, 2026, and left out songs whose tempo or key we could not confirm from a published source, so the list is short on purpose.

A sheet-music tempo is a notated value. A recording can sit a fraction of a BPM away, and a song can have a slower intro or a tempo change. Tap along with the exact section you plan to use before you line it up.

Songs at 120 BPM, grouped by Camelot number

Songs that share a Camelot number are in the same key or its relative major or minor, which is the most stable starting point for a mashup.

Camelot 10: B minor and D major

Three songs on one number, so this is the strongest group for an overlay.

Song	Key	Camelot
CeCe Peniston — Finally	B minor	10A
Taylor Swift — Love Story	D major (final chorus moves up to E major)	10B
Fifty Fifty — Cupid	D major	10B

Camelot 7: D minor

Madonna — Hung Up	D minor	7A
Madonna — Like a Prayer	D minor	7A

Why 120 BPM is a useful mashup tempo

120 BPM is two beats per second, so a 4/4 bar lasts exactly two seconds and an eight-bar phrase lasts sixteen. That makes edits easy to plan. It also sits close to the 115–128 BPM range of a lot of pop and dance music, so a 120 BPM vocal can usually be stretched onto a nearby instrumental with a small change.

It also works at half time. A 120 BPM song counted in half time is 60 BPM, so slow ballads around 60 BPM can sometimes sit under a 120 BPM vocal; the half time vs double time guide explains how to test that.

How to use the groups

Start inside one Camelot group: the songs share a key or a relative major and minor, so their chords overlap. Across groups, adjacent numbers (such as 9A next to 10A) are the next safest move. A matching key is still only a filter; the chords in the exact sections you choose decide whether two parts fit.

Pick one song for its vocal and one for its instrumental, loop eight bars of each and listen for clashes before arranging anything longer.
