72 recordings on this site sit at 150 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 400 milliseconds. That makes an eighth note 200 ms, a dotted eighth 300 ms and a sixteenth 100 ms — the delay times that will sit in time with anything at this tempo.

Half time is 75 BPM and double time is 300; 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 G major, more than any other key at this tempo.
