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.

B minor is written with 2 sharps. 96 of the 7,465 recordings here whose analyses settled on a key are in it — 1.3% of them, which makes it the 23rd most used of the 24.

Its relative major is D major: the same signature, a different tonic, and the one key you can move into without changing a single accidental.

The median tempo of the 96 is 115.7 BPM, and the busiest tempo band is 120–129 BPM with 21 recordings.

A recording is filed here when more than half of its analyses agreed on the key. That rule, and not a person, produced this list.

Keys that fit with B minor

D major: same key signature — 2 sharps · F♯ minor: one accidental away, a fifth up · E minor: one accidental away, a fifth down · B major: same tonic, major instead

All 96 recordings here more than half of whose analyses put them in B minor, most analysed first. The list is complete on purpose: the tempo pages above cut the same recordings finer, and nothing on this site should be reachable only through a search. Measured up to 23.06.2022 — AcousticBrainz stopped collecting in 2022, so nothing released after that date is here.
