Method
Each genre is refreshed once a month from SoundCloud's public catalog. Tracks need real traction to qualify, newer releases are listed first, the same artist never appears twice within ten places, and AI-generated tracks are excluded. BPM and key are detected per track; a few tracks without a detected BPM or key are left out of those figures. Averages are rounded to whole BPM. You may quote these figures with a link to this page.
