From the Entuned ranking series
Will It Retail?
Not every song belongs in your store. We ranked real music by how well it works in a retail environment. Most of it doesn't.
The retail tier list
Even A-tier songs weren't made for your floor
Every song was written for the artist, not for your customer. The tempo might be right, but the energy is wrong. The vibe fits, but the lyrics pull attention toward themselves. The best song on Monday morning is the wrong song on Saturday afternoon.
Playlists are a guess. Every single time.
What each tier actually means
The case against every tier except one
Great songs that happen to work in a store. But “happens to work” means you’re getting lucky — not getting strategic.
Nothing offensive, nothing memorable. Background noise that checks a box but never moves a needle.
The song becomes the main character. Customers notice the music instead of the merchandise. That’s a problem.
The energy is real — but it’s working against you. These songs put customers into motion: faster pace, shorter visits, earlier exits. Great music for a gym. Wrong music for a store.
Wrong tempo, wrong energy, wrong everything. Your playlist just cost you a sale — and you’ll never know it.
Built at the parameter level — tempo, energy, harmonic density, rhythmic feel — to do specific work in your specific environment. The only tier that actually belongs in a store.
S-tier music is made for the room
Entuned builds original music at the parameter level — tempo, key, energy arc, lyrical density — tuned to influence how your customers feel, move, and buy.
