Country songs across the tempo scale
Songs per 10 BPM. Orange marks the busiest stretch.
Country is spread wide. Even its busiest stretch, 80 to 90 BPM, holds only 19% of the songs, so you can find country at almost any pace.
One caution when you read any tempo chart: the same groove can be counted at half or double time, so a country song at 108 BPM can also read as 54 BPM. That is why many genres show a second, smaller hump.
