92 tempos with a list of their own

Every tempo

A tempo gets its own page when enough recordings here sit at it. Each one carries the delay times that go with it.

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.

The number beside each tempo is how many recordings' median readings round to it.
