Give tracks jobs in the room: arrival, lift, peak, bridge, landing. Streaming concentration is context. Review the crate after the set.

On a night, a few tracks you know carry the floor. A larger library and a clever transition are the distraction.

Billboard, using MRC Data for U.S. on-demand streaming in 2020 — 96,779 tracks (0.16% of 61.2 million) streamed more than a million times accounted for slightly more than three-quarters of streams. Not a club census. https://www.billboard.com/pro/hit-songs-streaming-music-market-consolidation/

Ten tracks you would bet the floor on. A set of only those.

A hundred songs downloaded the afternoon of the gig, a transition the dance stops to notice, a tour of your taste, a request you cannot land.

Do not invent a Spotify 80% or a club-sales percent. Phrase and tempo are craft, labeled as practice.

The catalog is already lopsided. The night is a smaller copy: records the room wants, played by someone who knows the phrase.

Template G. One 8020 move. Two misreads. viz: no.
