What's on the song wheel
The wheel comes pre-loaded with 12 iconic songs spanning rock, pop, and soul:
- Bohemian Rhapsody — Queen
- Imagine — John Lennon
- Hey Jude — The Beatles
- Smells Like Teen Spirit — Nirvana
- Billie Jean — Michael Jackson
- Purple Rain — Prince
- Wonderwall — Oasis
- Hotel California — Eagles
- Stairway to Heaven — Led Zeppelin
- Like a Rolling Stone — Bob Dylan
- Yesterday — The Beatles
- Sweet Child O' Mine — Guns N' Roses
Every entry starts with equal weight, so each song has the same chance of landing when you spin. If you want a particular song to come up more often — say, you're dead set on making Hotel California the likely winner — raise its weight using the numeric input in the entry row. Higher weight means a proportionally larger slice and a proportionally better shot at winning.
Make the song wheel your own
The pre-loaded list is a starting point. You can swap it out entirely for your own playlist, an artist's discography, or a themed set for a music quiz. To replace the entries, hit the Clear button in the editor panel, then type songs one at a time using the text field — press Enter after each — or paste your whole list at once using the bulk import text area. Each song on a new line is all it takes.
If you have your playlist saved as a spreadsheet, use CSV import: upload a .csv file and the wheel pulls the first column as the entry list. That's a quick way to load a long setlist without typing anything.
Not sure which songs to add beyond the defaults? Hit the Ideas button and the built-in AI suggestion tool will generate more song ideas to fit the theme of what's already on the wheel.
You can also hide individual entries with the eye-toggle — they stay in the list but get skipped during spins. Useful if you want to temporarily bench a song without deleting it.
Using the song wheel for music games
The Remove Winner toggle (below the wheel) is the key setting for any game where each song should only play once. Turn it on and the winning entry is removed from the pool immediately after the spin — no repeats until you've worked through the whole list. It's the right mode for a music trivia round, a "name that song" challenge, or a karaoke queue where no one wants the same track twice.
For a drinking game or a forfeit game built around songs, keep Remove Winner off so every song stays in play and the same track can theoretically land multiple times in a row.
The spin history section under the wheel logs every winner from your current session in reverse order, so you always know what's already come up. If you want a clean slate, hit Clear on the history.

Customising how the spin feels
The Shuffle on Spin toggle randomises the order of entries on the wheel at the start of every spin. It doesn't change the odds — the RNG works independently — but it means the physical slice positions shift each time, which adds a nice visual unpredictability for an audience watching the screen.
Spin duration can be set to 3, 5, or 10 seconds. For a party or a live game, 10 seconds builds the most suspense. For quick back-to-back picks, 3 seconds keeps things moving. You can also pick a spin sound and a win sound from the sound catalog — or set a countdown sound so there's a 3-beat lead-in before the wheel starts moving. Every sound can be muted with the toggle or dialled back with the volume slider.
If the default colour palette doesn't match your vibe, choose from 16 named presets in the Customize panel — Carnival, Neon, Midnight, and Bubblegum are popular picks for music nights — or hit Shuffle colors to remix the current palette order. Individual entries can also have their own hex colour set directly in the editor row.
