[Search] Search by BPM (Beats per Minute)

[PhilP]

Hi All,

As someone who loves punishing my body by going for long runs,  a good playlist to keep me company is essential!

Picking out and discovering which 'choons' are going to speed me up and push me further can be tricky.

One trick used by many runners is to search out and find songs which all have a similar number of beats per minute so they can place them in order and then use the beat of the song to run to.

As such, it would be awesome to be able to search Spotify for songs which have specific ranges of BPM and then pick the cool [subjective] ones for inclusion in your playlists.

Cheers!

Really needed and very useful

I prefer to create my own workout playlist. I haven't seen a way to sort by beats in Spotify. It would be great if songs within a playlist could be sorted by beats per minute.

Music is how I shape moments in my day. I use it to set the pace of a walk, to focus while working, to regulate my mood, or to slow down and unwind. Often I’m not searching for a specific artist or song, but for a feel that comes from a certain tempo or musical key.

Spotify already analyses audio features like tempo and key, and those qualities clearly influence recommendations and mixes. I’d love to see this information made accessible to listeners through simple search or filtering options. For example, being able to filter a playlist or Liked Songs by BPM range, or search using terms like bpm:120–128 or key:A minor.

This would make it easier to intentionally create listening moments, whether that’s matching music to a walking or running rhythm, practising or learning music in a particular key, or building playlists with a consistent emotional tone and flow. For me, it would be less about optimisation and more about connecting more thoughtfully with music.

Having this capability within Spotify itself would feel like a natural extension of how the platform already helps people link music to their everyday lives.
