Fast-tempo Western songs: recommended classics and popular tracks

There’s a unit in music that quantifies beats per minute, called “BPM.” In short, it’s an indicator of a song’s speed, but a high BPM doesn’t necessarily mean the song will feel fast.

Since the listener is human, the feel can change depending on the musical style and the density of the lyrics.

So, for this feature.

.

.

We’ve selected Western songs that feel fast! We’ve picked a wide range: not only tracks with high BPM, but also curious songs that somehow feel quick despite having fewer beats.

There are some lesser-known tracks in the mix, too, so even regular listeners of Western music should take note.

Please sit back and enjoy.
