About 120 BPM
120 BPM is arguably the most iconic tempo in all of music. It's the default setting on most metronomes, the standard marching cadence, and the foundation of countless dance tracks. Sitting in the Allegretto range, 120 BPM strikes the perfect balance between energy and control - fast enough to feel exciting, yet manageable enough for complex musical passages.
Music at 120 BPM
From four-on-the-floor house music to driving rock anthems, 120 BPM dominates popular music. It's the heartbeat of electronic dance music (EDM), disco, and synth-pop. You'll find it powering classic rock tracks, military marches, and pop hits alike. Many DJs build their sets around this tempo because it keeps energy high while remaining danceable for extended periods.
