Spotify curated playlist "Running to rock 170-190 bpm" has many wrong tempo songs

Hi there, I don't know which individual at Spotify curates the "Running to rock 170-190 bpm" playlist (see link below) but several of the songs are clearly NOT in the 170-190 bpm interval. The most famous example is Enter Sandman which in the rest of the world outside Spotify is about 125 bpm, as anyone with any sense of rhythm knows. Sad But True also is not in the 170-190 bpm interval, it is much much slower at 85bpm.

Look here for actual BPM of Metallica songs from the Black album.

I just played the "170 BPM Running EDM Mix" on a run and it was a mess! I couldn't keep my 170 cadence. When I got back from my run I looked up all of the songs and their beats per minute and they were all over the place and mostly in the range of 128 to 130 bpm. It's a mess.
