Source: AcousticBrainz, dump of 2022-06-23 (CC0) · MusicBrainz core data, 2026-09-17 (CC0) · how each number is measured. Measured up to 23.06.2022 — AcousticBrainz stopped collecting in 2022, so nothing released after that date is here.

28 recordings credited to Dire Straits cleared this site's bar of 125 analyses. Their median tempo is 116 BPM; 75% of them are in a major key.

5 of the 28 are in F major, which is more than any other key in this catalogue.

No tempo band leads; the fastest recording here is In the Gallery at 164.1 BPM and the slowest Fade to Black at 64.9.

This is a count of what AcousticBrainz's contributors happened to analyse, not a discography: a recording nobody ran the extractor over is simply absent.
