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.

60 recordings credited to The B‐52s cleared this site's bar of 125 analyses. Their median tempo is 131.6 BPM; 73% of them are in a major key.

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

No tempo band leads; the fastest recording here is Runnin’ Around at 172.3 BPM and the slowest Detour Thru Your Mind at 86.5.

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.
