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.

66 recordings credited to U2 cleared this site's bar of 125 analyses. Their median tempo is 125.9 BPM; 74% of them are in a major key.

10 of the 66 are in A major, which is more than any other key in this catalogue.

The tempo they cluster in is 100–109 BPM, with 12 of them; the fastest here is Numb at 178.2 BPM and the slowest Sleep Like a Baby Tonight at 86.

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.
