Putting on some Christmas music while you work? Think carefully about which yuletide tunes you choose. A recent study from project-management software company Workamajig reports that while certain songs can actually help maintain focus, others are incredibly distracting.

According to the study, songs with beats per minute paced between 50 and 80 are best for productivity, and may actually help calm  listeners. Others, with much higher beats-per-minute ratios, are classified on the distracting list.

Here are the 10 most distracting Christmas songs, according to Workamajig, followed by the 10 songs best for productivity.

The study also points out that the top two most played holiday songs on Spotify, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas” and V’s “Christmas Tree” lean more towards more distracting with 150 BPM and 139 BPM.
