Trance songs across the tempo scale
Songs per 10 BPM. Orange marks the busiest stretch.
Trance is a tight genre: 64% of it sits between 128 and 138 BPM, so a playlist in that pocket will feel like one continuous set.
One caution when you read any tempo chart: the same groove can be counted at half or double time, so a trance song at 134 BPM can also read as 67 BPM. That is why many genres show a second, smaller hump.
