This is ?? ??? ??One Good Thing, a weekly column where we tell you about one of the few nice things that happened this week.
Next time you need to save a life, the The All-American Rejects can help. Yeah, you read that properly.
It just so happens that "Gives You Hell," the band's scathing revenge anthem of 2008, is 100 beats per minute — the exact beat needed to perfectly time CPR compressions. What luck!
NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital figured out this nifty little trick, and decided to compile an entire Spotify playlist of other hot jams to help music lovers near and far successfully perform CPR.
Spoiler alert: It's absolutely phenomenal.

In fact, the collection of CPR-friendly music includes of a wide variety of genres, artists, and even some absolutely hilarious throwbacks.

"All of these songs are 100 BPM — the right beat to perform CPR. Pick one to remember in case you need to save a life," NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital wrote in the playlist's description. And the creator also linked out to the hospital's CPR training video for those looking to perfect their technique.
The playlist of 47 songs includes everything from ABBA, Michael Jackson, and The Bangles, to songs by Modest Mouse, Robyn, and the Spice Girls. There's something for everyone to encourage maximum life-saving CPR attempts.
Tyson Ritter, lead singer of All-American Rejects, is personally thrilled that his diss track is also doing good in the world.

And of course, the playlist would be nothing without "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees, which it thankfully includes. So now you too can reenact that famous sing-along CPR scene from The Office. Heck, you can do it 47 different ways!
The playlist already has around 10,000 followers, and the hospital updates it whenever hot new 100 BPM songs come out — which is the only logical explanation for The Chainsmokers and The Doors co-existing on a playlist.
So listen up and get ready to sing/save some lives, people.
