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.

94 recordings on this site sit at 103 beats per minute once each one's analyses are reduced to their median. A score would call that Andante, by the ranges printed on the data page.

One beat lasts 582.5 milliseconds. That makes an eighth note 291.3 ms, a dotted eighth 436.9 ms and a sixteenth 145.6 ms — the delay times that will sit in time with anything at this tempo.

Half time is 51.5 BPM and double time is 206; a tempo detector that disagrees with this page by a factor of two is usually counting one of those instead.

11 of them are in A major, more than any other key at this tempo.
