BPM

Definition

BPM stands for beats per minute. It is a measure of the tempo of music. The BPM of a song tells you how many beats there are in one minute.

For example, a song with a BPM of 120 means that there are 120 beats in one minute. Songs with a faster BPM are said to be "uptempo", while songs with a slower BPM are said to be "downtempo".

BPM is important for musicians because it helps them to keep the beat of a song. It is also important for DJs because it helps them to mix songs together smoothly.
