50 Life-Saving Billboard Hot 100 Hits You Can Perform CPR To
Here's a list of CPR-ready songs that have graced the Billboard Hot 100, featuring 50 life-saving hits with the perfect BPM for compressions.
The American Heart Association has essential video tutorials for administering the technique online, but something Billboard can help you out with specifically is tempo — a crucial element to both music and solid compressions. That means you’re more likely to be able to remember them at a moment’s notice during high-stakes situations where someone needs help; all you need to do is call 911, get into position, and then give firm compressions to beat of a hit like Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next” or Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” until help arrives. The most commonly recommended tune for CPR might be the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” — which, having reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in the 1970s, is definitely on this list — but any of the hits below will do the trick.
