C major is written with no sharps and no flats. 713 of the 7,465 recordings here whose analyses settled on a key are in it — 9.6% of them, which makes it the 1st most used of the 24.

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

The median tempo of the 713 is 120.6 BPM, and the busiest tempo band is 120–129 BPM with 116 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 C major

A minor: same key signature — no sharps and no flats · G major: one accidental away, a fifth up · F major: one accidental away, a fifth down · C minor: same tonic, minor instead

The recordings

All 713 recordings here more than half of whose analyses put them in C major, 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.
