Songs in the Same Key, Grouped by Camelot Number

How to read these groups

Camelot notation numbers the twelve minor keys 1A to 12A and the twelve major keys 1B to 12B. Songs with the same code are in the same key. Songs with the same number but a different letter are relative major and minor keys, which share all their notes. Both are stable starting points for a mashup, which is why each group below includes both letters.

Keys and tempos come from published sheet music cited in each song’s Wikipedia article, checked on October 6, 2026. Songs with no published key we could confirm were left out. Where a song changes key, the table says so: use the key of the section you plan to borrow.

From a shared key to a working pair

A shared key means the two songs use the same notes, not that their chords line up bar by bar. Choose a vocal from one song and an instrumental from the other, loop eight bars and listen for clashes on the chord changes. If the chords match too, as with the four-chord songs in our chord progression guide, the pair is much more likely to hold for a whole chorus.

Then look at tempo. Wake Me Up and Don’t Start Now share both key and BPM in the table above, so they need almost no adjustment. Levitating at 103 BPM would need a large stretch to meet them, which is better handled as a transition.

Moving between groups

On the Camelot wheel, numbers next to each other (9A and 10A, for example) are the next smoothest move after the same number. You can also use the key transposer to see what a one-semitone pitch shift does: a song a semitone away from a group can often join it with a small, clean shift.
