List of songs that may increase the risk of accidents released

In August 2026, the law firm "Trujillo Gonzalez" analyzed 30 Spotify playlists designed for in-car listening and studied the 50 most frequently occurring songs within them.
According to the analysis, songs with a tempo exceeding 120 beats per minute (BPM) are associated with increased speed, reduced driver attention, and a higher likelihood of errors behind the wheel.

The five songs with the highest tempos:

🔹 Ed Sheeran — "Shape of You" — 192 BPM;
🔹 Oasis — "Wonderwall" — 173 BPM;
🔹 The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber — "STAY" — 169 BPM;
🔹 Billy Idol — "Rebel Yell" — 166 BPM;
🔹 Blondie — "One Way or Another" — 162 BPM.

"Shape of You" appeared in 24 of the 30 playlists and has been streamed over 5 billion times on Spotify.
The study did not cover every song; it analyzed only the 50 tracks that appeared most frequently across the 30 automotive playlists.
