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.
65 recordings on this site sit at 145 beats per minute once each one's analyses are reduced to their median. A score would call that Allegro, by the ranges printed on the data page.
One beat lasts 413.8 milliseconds. That makes an eighth note 206.9 ms, a dotted eighth 310.3 ms and a sixteenth 103.4 ms — the delay times that will sit in time with anything at this tempo.
Half time is 72.5 BPM and double time is 290; a tempo detector that disagrees with this page by a factor of two is usually counting one of those instead.
8 of them are in D major, more than any other key at this tempo.
