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.

86 recordings on this site sit at 164 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 365.9 milliseconds. That makes an eighth note 182.9 ms, a dotted eighth 274.4 ms and a sixteenth 91.5 ms — the delay times that will sit in time with anything at this tempo.

Half time is 82 BPM and double time is 328; 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 C major, more than any other key at this tempo.
