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.

25 recordings credited to Nirvana cleared this site's bar of 125 analyses. Their median tempo is 125.8 BPM; 48% of them are in a major key.

No key leads this catalogue: two or more are level at the top, so none is named.

The tempo they cluster in is 130–139 BPM, with 6 of them; the fastest here is In Bloom at 155.3 BPM and the slowest Negative Creep at 83.2.

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.
