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.

7 recordings credited to The Velvet Underground cleared this site's bar of 125 analyses. Their median tempo is 130.7 BPM; 86% of them are in a major key.

2 of the 7 are in C major, which is more than any other key in this catalogue.

No tempo band leads; the fastest recording here is Pale Blue Eyes at 164.5 BPM and the slowest Sweet Jane (full length version) at 105.8.

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.
