Chance is measured, not assumed: 0.573% of transitions between two randomly drawn tracks by different artists in this catalogue reach 80. Listed alphabetically — the set is reproducible, the order inside it is not.

Chemistry weighs harmonic, rhythmic, energy, groove, mood and vocal compatibility. Tempos are as analysed from the recording — where a genre is habitually detected an octave down, this is how we handle it. Different measurement from the audience-overlap list further down the page.
