Source: AcousticBrainz, dump of 2022-06-23 (CC0) · MusicBrainz core data, 2026-09-17 (CC0) · how each number is measured. Measured up to 23.06.2022 — AcousticBrainz stopped collecting in 2022, so nothing released after that date is here.

128 recordings credited to David Bowie cleared this site's bar of 125 analyses. Their median tempo is 123.2 BPM; 75% of them are in a major key.

22 of the 128 are in C major, which is more than any other key in this catalogue.

The tempo they cluster in is 120–129 BPM, with 30 of them; the fastest here is Big Brother at 178.2 BPM and the slowest Drive‐In Saturday at 67.2.

This is a count of what AcousticBrainz's contributors happened to analyse, not a discography: a recording nobody ran the extractor over is simply absent.
