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.

117 recordings on this site sit at 162 beats per minute once each one's analyses are reduced to their median. A score would call that Vivace, by the ranges printed on the data page.

One beat lasts 370.4 milliseconds. That makes an eighth note 185.2 ms, a dotted eighth 277.8 ms and a sixteenth 92.6 ms — the delay times that will sit in time with anything at this tempo.

Half time is 81 BPM and double time is 324; 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 G major, more than any other key at this tempo.
