Here are 5 songs that will help save your life: they "revive" the heart. Video

From Taylor Swift to Dizzee Rascal, the songs of these artists have the perfect tempo for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Scientists have named the top songs that can help save lives.

A new study by cardiologists from Monash University in Australia shows that more than 50 songs by American star Taylor Swift have the perfect tempo for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. There are also dozens of other world-famous tunes with the right rhythm that work in cardiac research: from Nirvana to certain songs by Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, Dizzee Rascal, Billie Eilish, Aretha Franklin, and, of course, The Beatles, DailyMail reports.

According to the British Heart Foundation (BHF), more than 30,000 people die every year in the UK alone as a result of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. However, emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation can more than double someone's chances of survival. But to be effective, chest compressions must be performed at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute, mimicking a normal heart rhythm.

It is difficult to determine an accurate rhythm count during a stressful situation. Studies show that even many doctors often do it too slowly.

Experts emphasize that songs are the best way to tune in to the right rhythm. A study by Australian cardiologists highlights the songs of singer Taylor Swift, who has been repeatedly recognized as the world's most successful performer. Scientists claim that the top ten hits of the American star can be used to save lives.

"Taylor Swift's music is one of the most popular and influential among this generation. As iconic songs lose relevance, identifying new songs with optimal beats per minute for exercise is crucial," said study leader and director of the Victorian Heart Hospital in Melbourne, Professor Stephen Nicholls.

Research shows that the average frequency of most modern pop songs is about 116 beats per minute.

The British Heart Foundation has created a Spotify playlist – called Lifesaving Beats – of more than 90 songs that music lovers can measure their CPR time to.

"The use of music to encourage the correct pace is well known and we encourage everyone to be trained in CPR," said Adrian Boyle, president of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine.

This is not the first study to prove that music can help you set yourself to the right rhythm and save lives. In 2008, a similar study showed that the Bee Gees' hit song "Stayin' Alive" had the perfect tempo for indirect heart massage - about 103 beats per minute.

And in 2013, a woman from Birmingham saved the life of a 67-year-old man who collapsed on a crowded bus by recalling the rhythm of a Bee Gees song. She sang the tune out loud while rocking the man's chest.
