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.

22 recordings credited to The Police cleared this site's bar of 125 analyses. Their median tempo is 140.7 BPM; 77% of them are in a major key.

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

The tempo they cluster in is 140–149 BPM, with 6 of them; the fastest here is The Bed’s Too Big Without You at 184.6 BPM and the slowest Walking in Your Footsteps at 98.4.

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.
