About GetSongBPM

GetSongBPM is an open source database of beats per minutes (CC BY 4.0).

How do we get the BPMs?

We have many tools in our arsenal, but we mainly use our own audio recognition scripts (tempo, key, mood, etc.), so as to be independent. Added to this are data/reports sent in by our users, third-party APIs, datasets and manual checks.

How to report bad tempos?

You can use the tool provided on song pages (below the BPM), or contact us. Option is unavailable if tempo has been manually checked by one of our team member.

I can't access some songs. Why?

We only archive songs that appear on an existing album. Nowadays, it's not uncommon for singles to be released before an album. In such cases, we assign the song a temporary status of “awaiting album release”, which prevents the creation of a page dedicated to the song. The song will be archived as soon as the album from which it is taken is released (unless the single is not taken from an album).

What's the difference between "Top Hits" and Trending songs?

Top hits are the most played songs on Spotify while Trending song are the most viral songs based on social media shares and media exposure.

How to add missing artists?

You can't, unless artist is already listed on MusicBrainz, AND released at least an EP. It is our unique source. Here is how to add an artist to MusicBrainz.

Artist Removal

We rely exclusively on MusicBrainz for artist entries. As a result, you can only request the removal of artists who are not listed on MusicBrainz anymore. Please read their Data Removal Policy.
