Finding the BPM of a song on Musicstax
From your Spotify desktop/mobile or web application, you can easily right click on a song, press Share, and then Copy Song Link.

Here is an example of a song where you can easily see the tempo and key. You can also easily discover similar songs at the bottom of the page.
Musicstax even allows you to analyse whole playlists to get the BPM of all the songs in the Spotify Playlist. To do this, follow the above steps, right-click on the playlist, and search for it on Musicstax.
You will then see the average tempo, key and other metrics of the whole playlist, alongside each tracks individual BPM/key, allowing you to quickly and easily analyse all of the Spotify songs with ease.
What is knowing the BPM of a song useful for?
If you are DJing knowing the tempo of a song can be quite useful for mixing between two songs. While your DJ software is likely to tell you the tempo of a song, if you are on the move or don't yet own that song, you can easily use Musicstax to find out the tempo without having to purchase the song, or load up your DJ software.
It is also useful if you are trying to create playlists of songs in certain tempos. For example, finding songs >180 BPM can be useful if you are making a running playlist, whereas songs <90 BPM might be useful if you are trying to make a chill playlist.
If you are trying to find the BPM of a song which isn't on Spotify, you can manually find the tempo through our BPM Counter tool which allows you to tap your mouse or spacebar to work out what the tempo of a song is with ease.
