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.

23 recordings on this site are in A major and land in the 170–179 BPM band — 3.6% of everything here in that key.

Their median tempo is 172.3 BPM, one beat is 348.2 ms, and the whole list is within ten beats a minute of itself, which is the point of cutting it this way.

Both halves of the filter are measurements: the key is the one more than half of a recording's analyses agreed on, the band is where the median of its tempo readings fell.

Key and tempo are both measurements: the key is the one more than half of a recording's analyses agreed on, the tempo is the median of their readings. Most analysed first. Measured up to 23.06.2022 — AcousticBrainz stopped collecting in 2022, so nothing released after that date is here.
